„With or Without Me is an on-going interview project, investigating the dynamics of various collaborative practices and collective ventures in the field of contemporary visual arts, as perceived from the standpoints of the artist and cultural workers taking part in them. By laying stress on the specific subject positions of the interviewees, as taken in relation to their positions in the group or collective, on one hand, and to the art system and the system of social exchange on the other, it explores the conceptual, libidinal, emotional and practical aspects of joint creative work, which is grounded in shared intentions and collective authorship, but avoids falling into the routine of acting out of rationalized conformity of jointly constructed group values.” [... detail from Introduction by Stevan Vukovic]

The following interviews were made between January and November 2006 and compiled in this book at the occasion of the real-time installation of the project s website, curated by Stevan Vukovic in the Galerija SKC, Belgrade (November 2006).
