The third issue of the journal is introduced with Vesna Bukovec’s ironic comment ‘Continue as if everything is right’, alluding to the cognitive dissonance that allows us to continue our life as usual in a world that is not only full of social and political injustice, war, terror, mass flight and migration, but also experiencing political reactions to these developments in the form of populism and neo-nationalistic tendencies, which are at least as disturbing as the events that caused them. This introduction sets the tone for PRŌTOCOLLUM 2016/17, which is somewhat more sombre and sadder than the previous editions.

To further strengthen regional views and perspectives, PRŌTOCOLLUM 2016/17 continues to develop the journal’s concept of peer review, by inviting contributors of previous issues to recommend interesting artists from their regions. So far, more than 160 artists and artist collectives from 77 countries have participated in PRŌTOCOLLUM. Being able to tap into the knowledge and expertise of this diverse community puts PRŌTOCOLLUM in a unique position as a platform for non-Western contemporary visual art.

PRŌTOCOLLUM’s motto ‘Global Perspectives on Visual Vocabulary’ epitomizes its intention to present a visual arts exhibition in the framework of an art journal, letting the visual flow determine the sequence of the artists’ contributions.
