O knjizi TRANSNACIONALA - highway collisions between east and west at the crossroads of art (eng.)

On June 28, 1996, an international group of ten artists and writers departed from Atlanta on a journey across America in two recreational vehicles which would be their home for the next four weeks. The unlikely assemblage of travelers consisted of three Russians, six Slovenians -- including the five member IRWIN artists group, and one American. They were engaged in an artistic project that took the form of an actual journey across 4000 miles of highway and a spiritual journey of incalculable distance into deeply personal terrain. The aim was to discuss various issues during the course of the trip: art, theory, politics, and existence itself -- all in the context of the contemporary world. This book is a selected memoir of Transnacionala and includes transcripts of conversations with friends and hosts Mary Jane Jacob, Katharine Gates, Randy Alexander, Charles Kraft, Robin Held, Larry Reid, and Goran Dordevic.
