Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present the political dimension of a controversial artistic, but also political movement Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK), established in 1984 in Slovenia, as a total project including different disciplines from music, art, design, installation art, film, innovative theater, also including the Department of Pure and Applied Philosophy. Their political interpretation, often associated with totalitarianism will be analyzed in the context of time in which Neue Slowenishe Kunst as such appears and exists – in the context of the dissolution of socialism in former Yugoslavia. Therefore, the paper does not sees Neue Slowenische Kunst as a critics towards the socialist system being its totalitarian reflection, but more like the reflection of that that the postsocialist future will bring.
