Škart
The artistic collective Škart was established in 1990 in an abandoned
graphic atelier of the Faculty of Architecture in Belgrade by Dragan Protić
and Djordje Balzamović. 'The collective in progress' based their actions
of handing out cards with printed words or poems during the 'time of silence
and fear' on the principle of self-publishing and self-distribution. In
the year 2000 they spread their operation strategy onto a group consisting
of between 30 and 50 people who applied for the audition for HORKEŠKART

organisation of such groups into a self-organised collective.
