WHAT IS YUGOEXPORT?

Yugoexport is an oral corporation whose founding logic is equivalence, loyalty, and familial solidarity between people and things. Re-initiated by Irena Haiduk as an avatar of the former Yugoslav apparel manufacturer and weapons exporter Jugoeksport, Yugoexport is formally incorporated in the United States where corporations are people.

The oral corporation's economy is home to all its activities and it is self sustaining. It requires slow transaction times, loaded through oral images and flexible pricing. Their maxim How To Surround Your Self With Things In The Right Way powers the production of images, books, apparel, orations, films, scenographies, and variable spaces—all designed to nourish the organ of imagination.

Current political systems apply their aggression against multitudes by chiefly economic means. Economic infrastructure underpins all materials, labor, and products of artistic making. These infrastructures leave clear aesthetic marks. The grip of this force configures our lives, gives them their look and feel. To work in a field rooted in making desires, to make art today, is to share the responsibility for what aesthetic economies maintain. Desires, many of them powered by art, brought us here. We must desire differently. There are many ways to start.
