The Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art’s Project Space was launched in December 2010, under the Artistic Direction of ArtBOX.gr – Christos Savvidis & Lydia Chatziiakovou.
The Project Space’s aim is to shed light upon the birth of the idea which leads to the creation of contemporary art. The Project Space becomes a representation of the artist’s studio, not in its scenography (as a visualization of a certain physical reality), but in the metaphorical sense: the flash of inspiration is captured through the artist’s reference material (books, films, music etc.), through conversations with curators and intellectuals or even through other artists’ works. The “medium” is anything that can trigger inspiration. The exhibitions put together in the Project Space do not necessarily follow museum-type presentation standards; rather, they feature a documentation of the artist's work or works by other artists, according to the stimulus the artist wants to instigate. Our ultimate goal is to render the public –specialized or not (art lovers, students, young artists, arts professionals, general public…)– witness or part of the creative process, which can be interactive and enlightening. The participating artists are invited according to the nature of their work and their potential to use these special circumstances as a constructive experience for themselves as well as for the audience. |
