A five-day seminar in Florence with Professor Paul Gwynne

Professor Paul Gwynne recently participated in a 5-day seminar organized by the Medici Archive Project and the International Studies Institute in Florence.

A new publication by Noam Chomsky, edited by AUR's Professor Davor Džalto: 'Yugoslavia: Peace, War, and Dissolution'

The Balkans, in particular the turbulent ex-Yugoslav territory, have been among the most important world regions in Noam Chomsky’s political reflections and activism for decades. His articles, public talks, and correspondence have provided a critical voice on political and social issues crucial not only to the region but the entire international community, including "humanitarian intervention," the relevance of international law in today’s politics, media manipulations, and economic crisis as a means of political control.

Update: August 30, 2018. This publication has now been translated and published in Belgrade, in Serbian.

Internship at RvB Arts Gallery

This unique gallery, located in the heart of Rome near the Tiber River, exhibits the work of emerging Italian artists. A boring “white walls” environment? This gallery is filled with the spirit of art! The pieces on exhibit are created by artists using different techniques and media; shows include sculpture, photography, and many styles of painting. Another singularity is that the gallery cooperates with an antique store, “Antiquariato Valligiano” which exhibits rare and antique furniture mixed in with the works of art. This adds an atmosphere of comfort and increases a visitor’s immersion in the world of Art.

Internship at Galleria Lorcan O’Neill

The Gallery was established in Rome in 2003 and actively works with 25 artists. Among these artists are the internationally acclaimed, Richard Long, Tracey Emin, Anselm Kiefer, Francesco Clemente, Martin Creed, Cerith Wyn Evans and many more. The gallery is located in the city centre and inside a marvelous Roman palazzo.

I’m an Art History student with a Business of Art concentration, therefore, the gallery internship was a very fruitful and important experience for me. I had previously interned at an art newspaper and a museum, but never at a gallery. I found the environment and dynamics very different.
