*Janez Janša, Janez Janša, Janez Janša*
/*Name Readymade*/

Thursday, 15 September, 2011 - 13:00 - 14:00
Sabanci Center Main Theater, Levent
ISEA2011 ISTANBUL - The 17th International Symposium on Electronic Art


Name Readymade is a project presentation dealing with a wide range of 
issues related to the “name changing” gesture perpetrated by three 
Slovenian artists who, in 2007, officially, and with all the papers and 
stamps required, changed their names and assumed the name of the 
Slovenian Prime Minister at the time, Janez Janša. Ever since, all their 
works, their private and public affairs – in a word, their whole life – 
have been conducted under this new name.

The presentation is a parcours through different stages and aspects of 
the act of name changing and its consequences, including public, 
relational and intimate ones; it is an investigation of how, in western 
society, the concept of personal name coincides with (or differs from) 
the question of personal identity.
