		All the groups of the NSK were bound to the working method of 'retrogarde', which through an "emphatic ecclecticism" used all those texts (signs, images, symbols and forms of rhethoric), that retrospectively have become identification signs for certain artistic, political, religious or technological 'salvation utopias' of the 20th century.
		NSK consistently combined all the elements that existed within the alternative scene: In the 80s, the artists' collective was playing "subcultural escalation games" (Dieffenbach), which were constantly pointing towards the aesthetics of power.
		NSK confers the status of a state not upon territory but upon the mind, whose borders are in a state of flux, in accordance with the movements and changes of its symbolic and physical collective body.

		Similarly, the IRWIN artists never sign their work individually: instead, they are "signed" with a stamp or certificate indicating approval as a work from the Irwin collective.
		Since 1991, NSK claims to constitute a state [6], a claim similar to that of micronations.
		They issue passports [7], [8], and have presented shows of their work in the guise of an embassy [9], [10] or even as territory of their supposed state [11]; they maintain consulates in Florence, Italy [12] and Umag, Croatia [13]; and have issued postage stamps.

		The group Neue Slowenische Kunst defines its collectivism within the framework of an autonomous state, as artistic actions in time to which all other spatial and material procedures of artistic creation are subordinated.

		Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK) is a collective organization, meaning that individual artists are not identified, but instead all work is produced collectively and signed by the group.
		NSK is composed of a number of smaller units, which perform different functions for the larger organization.
		NSK's conceptual approach, with its distinct relationship to the social, cultural and political forces in Eastern Europe, is a key aspect of their work.

	Irwin & Eda Cufer, NSK 2000
		Recently Jani Novak from Laibach told me that from Laibach's point of reflection, NSK was finished as a movement by the beginning of 1990s, and that it transformed into a State with an unlimited number of citizens in the 1990s, which I think is a relevant point.
		From today's point of view you can observe the whole NSK phenomenon as a kind of theatricalization of a few Zizek theses, but at that time this way of thinking was already in the air; it was the language of the alternative society.
		We didn't change NSK, but we switched from the organization of NSK to the NSK State in Time, which started to move, to construct.

		If NSK's central aesthetic strategy of the 80's was to locate and trigger the ideological defense mechanisms their spectators/viewers unwittingly carried within themselves, they did so not purely to attract attention -- though, within the noisy sphere of the international art market, this was not an undesirable (or unforgivable) by-product.
		NSK's "retro-avant-garde" strategy was born at Ljubljana's "Novi Rock" festival in 1983, in a shower of spattered beer, broken glass and drops of blood from the bottle which impacted on lead "singer" Tomas Hostnik's chin.

		The NSK State is defined as an “abstract organism”, as a “suprematist body, installed in a real social and political space as a sculpture comprising the concrete body warmth, spirit and work of its members.
		NSK confers the status of a state not upon territory but upon the mind, whose borders are in a state of flux, in accordance with the movements and changes of its symbolic and physical collective body.” [18]
		This means that members of the different NSK groups, as performed for the first time in 1992 during the NSK Embassy Moscow [20] in Russia, travel to a certain place together (in Moscow, a private appartment), and then e.g.

	More Total Than Totalitarianism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The claim that NSK signifies that it is possible for one sovereign state to peacefully co-exist inside or outside any other is evidence of this parody too, especially when the Balkan War is taken into account, which signifies that a sovereign nation cannot even exist on its own without self destruction into bloody civil war.
		Neue Slowenische Kunst are clearly much more than just a totalitarian art movement, so much so that to identify them as such is a gross underestimation of their strategy and intent.
		A member of NSK should be hard working; he should respect the concepts of NSK and its history, be compliant and co-operative in carrying out joint decisions, and irreproachable in administering the general and secret statutory and moral norms of NSK.

		The collectives were self-organized as a crone-collective NSK 1980s, in post-Tito Yugoslavia where visual culture was dominated by the ideology of so called Self-Managing Socialism.
		In the 1980s, NSK pretended to act affirmatively towards the political structures in the former Yugoslavia; their programmatic articulations were irritating for the ruling regimes in general because of the artists thematizing the system itself.
		The thesis that defines the retro-principle and also the so-called "Retro(avant)garde" (originally the basic strategy of the whole NSK in the 80s) is based on Freud's psychoanalysis; it's the strategy based on the premise that traumas from the past affecting the present can only be healed by returning to the initial conflicts.

		This is a film about the Slovenian arts collective Neue Slowenische Kunst (N.S.K.) which incorperates graphic designers, the painterscollective 'IRWIN' and the theatergroup 'Noordung'.
		Because of their hard, military beats, their truely Wagnerian use of horns, and the fact that the group prefer to appear in military uniforms or hunting outfits, they have often been accused of, to say the least, flirting with fascism.
		N.S.K. had merely spiffed it up a few notches, and replaced the swastika and the German eagle by using a hammerandsickle, and dropping in a few red stars instead.

	Mobile States - NSK State in Time / I. Arns
		The 'immaterial state' NSK Drzava v casu performs this movement by materializing in different time intervals under the form of an 'embassy' or a 'consulate' in various places (17).
		NSK's disorientation since the early 1990s, triggered by the cessation of reference systems, becomes clear in the visual metaphors used in the 1992 'Laibach' music video "Kapital": In the hermetically sealed-off cockpit of a space ship whose walls are decorated with suprematist fl and white crosses, the 'Laibach' crew flies into deep, dark space.
		The aim of the transposition of NSK, of movement, of travelling and the ensuing changes of location of the entire NSK organism can be seen in communication and exchange with this other (different) place.

		For NSK one such turningpoint is the assimilation and consecutive abolition of the artistic avant-gardes into totalitarian systems at the end of the 1920s.
		The artistic concept of the NSK Drzava v casucomments on concrete political developments in ex-Yugoslavia in a specific way: it represents an alternative to the political fixations on territories, ethnic groups and borders that gained strength since the beginning of the 1990s (not only in ex-Yugoslavia, but certainly therein its most extreme shape).
		IRWIN stresses that the NSK State in Time is not to be understood merely as an artistic project ("it is not a simulation"), but as a real time project which leaves behind the "field which is normally defined as art" and which can be only effective as such.

		They were formed in 1980 as the music wing of an art collective, NSK (Neue Slowenische Kunst - New Slovene Art), whose members, in a parody of the Communist model of totalitarian industrial production, voluntarily renounce their individual names, tastes and convictions in joyful subordination to the NSK's collective identity and political programme.
		The NSK theatre spectacle "Krst Pod Triglavom" (Baptisism Below Triglav), mounted by Scipion Nasice Sisters Theatre to a score by Laibach, is premiered at Cankar Cultural Centre, Ljubljana on February 6.
		Since 1990 Laibach and NSK have existed as its own floating utopian state, a state making no territorial claims and without geographical borders, and which constitutes itself within and without all pre-existing state and geographical borders.

		NSK was founded in 1983 in the former Yugoslav Republic of Slovenia, and is a global, multi-media art collective that ultimately comments on different forms and aspects of totalitarian rhetoric and imagery.
		Rector: Obviously, I am part of the Western art system, so you will need to talk with the NSK people about their feelings in connection with selling the work to me. My guess is that even though I am from the West, my approach is not the type that they feel antagonistic towards.
		Rector: Most of the people here in the US with whom I have dealt do think of the NSK work as being "strange." It is far too militaristic, at times even with hints of being fascist, for their taste.

		The presentation on "Laibach and Neue Slowenische Kunst: culture and ideology" opened the discussion on an interesting and slippery topic: the link between art and fascism, the possibilities of their infiltration and influencing each other.
		According to Neue Slowenische Kunst, only a universal work of art is able to reach this aim by simulating the same power and aggression they are fighting against.

		The construction of Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK) is therefore His scheme, penetrating into the pores of the nervous system, so that this penetration is work, the nature of which provokes reactions in the subject.
		The attitude of NSK is knowingly desirous: the Spirit is expected to constantly provide new surprises, but because it itself is not bound to immanence and because it regards fragmentation, the particular and the differences as a consistent compaction, it already exists there where it is still not present today.
		All certainty is accumulated in the statement that the demands set by NSK and the needs of its members are rooted in the benefit and in the norms.

		The outcome: Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK), or New Slovene Art, an artists' co-operative, so to speak, which expanded to include architecture, design and philosophy, with each group reinforcing and complementing the aesthetic and political themes of the others.
		Laibach and NSK spoke openly of a monumental assertion of (the superiority of) Slovene culture.
		In practice Laibach and NSK are among the least nationalist of (former) Yugoslav artists and have continued active co-operation with cultural endeavours in the other republics, refusing to confine themselves to the Slovene cultural space they helped reshape.
