Re- Locate
The theoretical framework of the Re- Locate project is based on the population exchange between Anatolia and the Balkans and it focuses on the flexibility of the borders, cultural similarities, controversies, the lack of communication between cultures, as well as various methods of developing new communication models. In addition, the project aims at establishing a new network between artists, curators, writers and institutions by making the shared history in the selected places its most important guide.
Re- Locate Project proposes an experimental workshop practice that is based on mobility and translocation. The suggested mobility tries to en- compass the physical transitivity of the cities and borders, as well as the flexibility of historical, identitarian, and ideological borders.
Re- Locate project consists of a series of workshops that are realized in this framework. The first part of the series is realized in Plovidiv, Athens, Skopje, Prizren, and Pristine with the participation of Gökçe Süvari, Ha za vu zu (Özgür Erkök, Güneş Terkol), Ilgın Seymen, Mehmet Dere, Suat Öğüt, and Zeyno Pekünlü. The group worked in collaboration with the local artists in the places that they visited. They worked on both their individual works and collective works and shared their experiences with each other.
The second workshop is realized in Istanbul with the participation of the artists who were invited to Istanbul from the places that are visited: Alban Muja, Gjorgje Jovanovik, Mary Zygoury, and Raycho Stanev.

CONCEPT

Apartment Projects aim had been to collectively create and produce

different voices in exhibitions based on workshops. These workshops include

people who have all formulated their own languages within their own fields.

Project Free Fall, in this point, is an attempt to create a different

experience, open up a new path in these workshops, namely to create a new

language/practice by way of changing the structure and working out of

workshops by the means of new technological developments and digital

resources.

To this end, Apartment Project formed the platform of

freefall-apartment.blogspot.com , which will work as a virtual workshop

place for the artists where they can share their productions without the

necessity of coming together in the same physical working/production place.

With a 15 days of virtual workshop process, this project shelters the

documentation of the everyday life practice, writings, images, sounds,

texts and the life-effecting dynamics of each artist. It is the

falling of individual memories of artists into this platform by

following up each other that draws the conceptual framework of Free

Fall which is in effect a kind of online personal sketch book or diary.

These interactively fallen materials came together in this virtual platform

until the end of the workshop process (15.03.2010) as a serial of works in

which artists interact with and response the works of each other.

MIM´S GARDEN

“Guerrilla gardening is gardening on another person’s land without permission. It encompasses a very diverse range of people and motivations, from the enthusiastic gardener who spills over their legal boundaries to the highly political gardener who seeks to provoke change through direct action. It has implications for land rights, land reform. The land that is guerrilla gardened is usually abandoned or neglected by its legal owner and the guerrilla gardeners take it over (“squat”) to grow plants. Guerrilla gardeners believe in re-considering land ownership in order to reclaim land from perceived neglect or misuse and assign a new purpose to it.
Some guerrilla gardeners carry out their actions at night, in relative secrecy, to sow and tend a new vegetable patch or flower garden. Some garden at more visible hours to be seen by their community. It has grown into a form of proactive activism or pro-activism.” (from Wikipedia)

Festival Kiblix 2010: Waste- Technology Minus / Biomodd

Date: 18/11/2010 until 28/11/2010

Location: Gallery KiBela, Maribor – Slovenia

Organisers / Producers:  ACE KIBLA

 

Kibla has gradually transformed one of its oldest festivals from a purely technological festival into a festival of arts and education domain. Transforming Kiblix festival will continue and we intend to establish it into one of the most relevant arts festivals in following years, based on open source solutions, and place it on the European and global map. Open Source for the visitors, campaigns, performances and installations, interactive events, robots, software art, art hardware, wireless systems, security and control are just some of the backgrounds of art, which raises the issues of human freedom, freedom of speech and expression, free flow of information and knowledge, free exchange of data and is searching for answers instead of all those who are closing their systems and are locking themselves in digital fortress, under the disguise of copyright protection – and in such different environments and ways – limiting all mentioned above, in most of most cases, banal reasons to earn more profit, but often from sheer desire to control and manipulate society by the masses.

John Grzinich residency New Maps of Time in Istanbul

‘New Maps of Time’ is a workshop about sound and project about mapping spaces (architectural and natural) using sound sound as a means to understand our presence within these spaces. It is about exploring subjectivity and territory through sound, bridging acoustic processes with digital communication… The project process works with the basic understanding that artistic creativity can be a ritual by which we live out and share the subjectivity of our own experiences. This inherent subjectivity must be understood not only as an intellectual notion but through means of participatory activityon different levels of personal, collaborative (between artists) and contextual actions (interventions in a space).
