'…We are the revolt of the spirit; we believe that revolution is the inevitable vengeance of a spirit humiliated with your doings. We are not utopians; we can conceive this revolution only as a social form. If anywhere there are men and women who have seen a coalition form against them (traitors to everything that is not freedom, rebels of every sort, prisoners of common law), let them never forget that the idea of revolution is the best and most effective safeguard of the individual.'

New Media Gallery in collaboration with the SC gallery and gallery Vladimir Nazor Zagreb invites you to apply your new media art works for the international new media exhibition with the theme 'Revolution Now and Forever'.

Nearly a century after the surrealist revolution, a century of the greatest destruction toward the human body, the body of citizen, worker, warrior, remains only the question: Is the world finally ready?

Humanism is gone in traces of advertising campaigns. The system of representation is collapsed. What is left are the governments that do not rule, workers who do not work, students who do not study, politicians who represent nobody but themselves, children who do not eat every day. REVOLUTION is not dead, it was just molested. Its body massacred with capital and converted into debt paying endless loans and trying to get aware of rejecting any form of ideology which could be attributed to it. Can new revolution generate a new subject, new cogito space shuttle, sharp awareness of the future? Is there a future of the world?

We are looking for the witnesses of the revolution, witnesses od student protest, occupy movements, protests against ACTA, workers' protests, general strikes, witnesses of corrupted prime ministers, hypocritical banks… We are looking for the Re-evoluated individuals and for the bodies of revolution. Assuming that to be an artist means that the person is REvoluatued, in the sense of individual protection which was highlighted by the Surrealists in their manifesto, the exhibition 'Revolution Now & Forever' wants to show different degrees of RE-evolution through multiple contexts in which they are located and through various subversive practices in works of art to show the long love relationship of art and revolution.
