Jovan Čekić is a philosopher, art theorist and conceptual artist. Under the influence of Deleuze's philosophical thought, he believes that the task of philosophers, artists and scientists is to map events and that the current consistency of the world consists of these overlaps, because a general theory of events is impossible. He sees alternative spaces as reserves within the capitalist machine and calls for experimentation with real spaces as different ways of connecting with the world. It also deals with the problems faced by the art of the 20th century, especially from the aspect of the changes that occurred with the advent of technical reproduction, as well as mapping the shifts in art that herald the change from the writing culture to the screen culture. How did the clear boundaries between institutional and non-institutional artistic activity, but also between artistic and non-artistic, disappear? How did biopolitics enter art and what are biopolitical practices?
