Nacional (National)

Nacional (National); 1991/2007

A colour reinterpretation of a band's 1991 black and white poster entitled 'Nacional'. The poster was created (in collaboration with the NK - New Collectivism studio) during the creation of the NSK State, as a part of the programme of artistic content. One of the declared characteristics of the NSK States is that it neutralises nationalities - instead promoting the option to be transnational in nature. The central motif of the poster is therefore a hand-held meat grinder, on which the NATIONAL brand is inscribed.

Laibach's meat grinder holds the Earth, but when it also grinds the Earth into a new mass, equalizing it and cancelling out the differences between nations; it will therefore create a transnational mass of new citizens, no longer divided by nationality, within the NSK State. All will thus become one nation. 

Silkscreen print on paper: 100 x 70 cm, limited edition of 65 in the series, numbered, signed, and stamped with an original Laibach seal.

All posters are suitably protected and shipped in a cardboard tube, separately from the other ordered items.
