Summary/Abstract: An interview with Bojana Kunst, a Slovenian performance studies and dance theater researcher. The interlocutors' main subject of interest is the category of the subversiveness of contemporary art (crossing the boundaries between art, life, and politics), for which performance has become the most effective medium. In the context of Kunst's piece, The Artist at Work, the subject of the artist's limited capacity to design the future comes up. The author points out that artists subscribe to the survival strategies imposed on them by capitalism. The interlocutors consider the democratic dimension of contemporary art, the processual nature of the work, and the latest participation strategies.
