GARBAGE COLLECTORS AND/OR ARTISTS: IS IDOLATRY OF WASTE UNCULTURED

In this papers the authors attempt to explore the relationship between contemporary art and industrial waste material and its interface with society. In addition, the paper deals with the physical and mental human pollution in modern society and the role of the artist as a witness and a visionary. Discarded objects, exploited and abandoned, like tired old men, became objects of idolatry and a new obsession for a number of artists. Question is how did it come to legitimate glorification of rubbish and waste, ie. many discarded and worn items of industrial production and mass culture.

METAPICTURES AS A MEANS OF CREATING CULTURAL VALUES

Mitchell’s (2005) definition of metapicture appears as a term that includes a combination of television, literature, visual and musical arts, and the like, but also all forms of advertising (political and economic). Projected images fully mimic the process of mental representation in the human consciousness and their overlapping leads to blurring the boundaries between real and unreal. This phenomenon is intended to disturb the individual reasoning and induce him to accept the notion which is imposed on him. The modern media take on an educative role of traditional communities and create a new form of metapicture, consisting of a number of elements of different cultures and artistic genres, movements and pseudo events. In the contact with beings and new forms of reality man never before in his history met, except in the imagination and ecstatic visions, the ideas imposed through the screen lead to patterns of cognitive bias. However, metapictures are images that contain a specific depth and complexity, and require and attract attention. These are the pictures with the creative driving force which the work discuss.

CULTURAL AND CREATIVE INDUSTRIES IN EUROPE

As a result of transition from capitalist to post-capitalist societies and from economy of goods to service economy, the development of cultural and creative industries is becoming the focus of a growing number of countries. As there is no internationally accepted definition of the sector or tools for its analysis, understanding of the sector and instruments of cultural policies used for its development vary significantly from country to country. Through comparative analysis of the cultural policies of Great Britain, Spain, Serbia and Croatia this paper aims at giving an insight into the different stages of development and support measures related to cultural and creative industries and offers recommendations for further development of this sector in each country. Comparative analysis is based on statistical reports, laws, policies and strategic plans of these countries, and organized in eleven topics that are emerging as key issues for cultural and creative industries: the definition of sector and state policies and objectives related to it; mapping and data analysis; regionalization; inter-sectorial cooperation; education and training; diversity and tolerance; ICT; tax policy; copyright and intellectual property rights; support to small and medium enterprises; and internationalization. Great Britain is an example of a state that seriously analyzes the sector, strategically plans its development and cultural policy measures that encourage it. Spain is a country that has recently redefined cultural and creative industries as a national priority and has largely drawn regulations, measures and models from the experience of the UK. Serbia and Croatia are examples of countries that have not yet recognized the potential of cultural and creative industries and continue to have very traditional measures and regulations related to culture and its development, which causes the underdevelopment of the creative sector.
