    МАПИРАЊЕ НА „СИНТЕЗАТА НА УМЕТНОСТИТЕ“ ВО МАКЕДОНСКИ КОНТЕКСТ
    (INSTITUTE OF MACEDONIAN LITERATURE/ИНСТИТУТ ЗА МАКЕДОНСКА ЛИТЕРАТУРА, 2022)

    “The Synthesis of the Arts” is institutionalized as phenomenon through the German language in the 19th century: Gesamtkunstwerk (total work of art) and Einheitskunstwerk (unified artwork). Although both terms signify unity of architecture, painting and sculpture, the first refers to the synthesis of the arts based on creative collaborations, while keeping up the autonomy of the expressions as different components, and the second refers to an essential unity between arts as common conceptual foundation of inner-cause and artistic principles that produce unified and indivisible artwork. We can recognize Gesamtkunstwerk throughout whole architectural history, while Einheitskunstwerk belongs exclusively to the epoch of modernity and modern architectural thought. We recognize “The Synthesis of the Arts” in Macedonian context as self-conscious method and goal in the formation of the creative groups of mixed character (painters, sculptors, architects, etc.), following the example of the Yugoslav avant-garde in the mid-twentieth century. This paper represents original mapping of the manifestations of this phenomenon of “The Synthesis of the Arts” in Macedonian context, a specific episode of Macedonian modernism, and serves as a methodological base for further inquiries. It promotes detailing of theoretical knowledge derived from the broader cultural context as a significant tool in the process of learning architecture, and the relevance of the phenomenon “The Synthesis of the Arts” in the study of Macedonian architecture. It also highlights the important difference between architectural historiography and architectural biography of one city.

    The Experiential Museum – Avant-Garde Spatial Experiments and the Reorganization of the Human Sensorium

    Avant-garde artistic experiments are unquestionably recognized as relevant to the museum field in the context of art and museum studies. This paper aims to reconfirm their relevance in the architectural context as well, selecting crucial cases and protagonists whose final products were not artworks or exhibitions per se, but new (concepts of) space. These new concepts of space were all treated as democratic and participatory new media capable of training and modernizing the whole of our human sensorium. In this way, a curious partnership is discovered between this “experiential” art museum and the discourse on architectural modernity. Imaginary space, expressionist space, correlational space, multimedia space and situationist space – these are the principal categories that this paper recognizes as five distinct productive devices for modernist perceptual reorganization.
