Struggle in New York/Borba u Njujorku was shot in October and November 1976 in New York. The film consists of 12 parts organised around the subject of “art and society”, with a strong anti-capitalist message.   

The film is a documentary testimonial of the street boycott of the Whitney Museum carried out by the initiative Artists Meeting for Cultural Change (Aaron Roseman, Carol Condé and Karl Beveridge, Saul Ostrow, Michael Krugman, Katharina Sieverding, Klaus Mettig, et al.), the feminist art critique Terry Berkowitz, Ruth Rachlin and Corrine Bronfman, etc. Numerous authors active at the New York art scene, gathered primarily around the collective Art & Language (Joseph Kosuth, Mel and Paula Ramsden, Ian Burn, Michael Corris, Andrew Menard, Preston Heller, Kathryn Bigelow, Christine Kozlov, Mayo Thompson and others) also make their appearance in this film.
