Neue Slowenische KunstNeue Slowenische Kunst (NSK), from the German for "New Slovenian Art" is a controversial political arts collective originating from Trbovlje, Slovenia in 1984. At that time Slovenia was part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. NSK's best-known member is the industrial music group Laibach. Other NSK group include Irwin (painting), Noordung (theater), New Collective Studio (graphics; also known as New Collectivism), Retrovision (film and video), and the Department of Pure and Applied Philosophy (philosophy). of Art, 2004, 2004, http://www.laibach.nsk.si/l7.htm, http://www.ljudmila.org/embassy/1a/what.htm, http://www.ljudmila.org/embassy/5a/retro.htm The founding groups of NSK were Laibach, Irwin, and Scipion Nasice Sisters Theater, which later became Noordung. http://www.gla.ac.uk/~dc4w/laibach/laibach1.html, http://www.gla.ac.uk/~dc4w/laibach/noordung.html, NSK art often draws on symbols drawn from totalitarian or extreme nationalist movements, often reappropriating totalitarian kitsch in a visual style reminiscent of dada. NSK artists often juxtapose symbols from different (and often incompatible) political ideologies. For example, a 1987 NSK-designed poster that caused a scandal by winning a competition for the Yugoslavian Youth Day Celebration appropriated a painting by Nazi artist Richard Klein, replacing the flag of Nazi Germany with the Yugoslav flag and the German eagle with a dove. 2004 Since 1991, NSK claims to constitute a state http://www.ljudmila.org/embassy/1a/state.htm, a claim similar to that of micronations. They issue passports http://www.ljudmila.org/embassy/2a/2a.htm, http://www.ljudmila.org/embassy/3b/irwin17/amst.htm, and have presented shows of their work in the guise of an embassy http://www.ljudmila.org/embassy/3b/irwin13/moskva.htm, http://www.ljudmila.org/embassy/3b/irwin14/gent.htm or even as territory of their supposed state http://www.ljudmila.org/embassy/3a/state/state.htm; they maintain consulates in Florence, Italy http://www.ljudmila.org/embassy/3b/irwin16/flo.htm and Umag, Croatia http://www.ljudmila.org/embassy/3b/irwin20/umag.htm; and have issued postage stamps. http://www.ljudmila.org/embassy/1b/nka.htm External Links Reference
