Abstract

In this interview, Erjavec discusses the relationship between artistic, aesthetic, and political revolutions, highlighting the distinct yet interconnected nature of these phenomena. He argues that revolutionary art differs from avantgarde movements, with the latter often being influenced by various political ideologies. Erjavec examines the radical nature of Italian futurism and Russian constructivism, noting that their impact was as much political as it was artistic. He also touches on the contemporary relevance of these historical movements, stressing that avantgarde gestures continue to influence modern art and culture. Furthermore, Erjavec addresses the challenge of defining and understanding avantgardes, emphasizing the need for a nuanced approach to their study. He also critiques the publicâs perception of contemporary art, suggesting that a deeper engagement with philosophical literature is necessary to appreciate its significance. Finally, Erjavec reflects on his edited volume, Aesthetic Revolutions and the Twentieth-Century Avantgarde Movements, considering its strengths and areas for further exploration, particularly the transition from interpretation to transformation in avantgarde actions.
