Public presentation at CHISINAU CIRCUS film projection launch of 7th issue of STATE of EMERGENCY/Oberliht Supplement debates with project participants September 26, 2008 | 7 p.m. Project by Oberliht Association http://www.oberliht.org.md/interventii3.html Project director Vladimir US Co-curator Natasa BODROZIC contact: + 373 69 171010 The INTERVENTIONS3, artistic project dealing with public space took place in the city of Chisinau and its surroundings throughout August this year. The project gathered more than thirty participants from Moldova, Romania, Croatia, Germany and France who stayed in the city for a short term residency creating art works and reflecting over the processes producing Chisinaus public space today, the city's visual structure, the memory and experience of its inhabitants' everyday life. Their stay is documented in the catalogue, STATE of EMERGENCY magazine / Oberliht Supplement and a film that is going to be shown for the first time on this occasion. The project consisted of several phases: city walks, artists projects, public presentations and discussions, Ghidighici GRAFFITI session and opening to the public of ARThotel a space for artistic production and exchange. Leading Romanian artists visited Chisinau and created work exclusively for this occasion (Dan PERJOVSCHI, Vlad NANCA, Nicu ILFOVEANU etc.), some of which are still accessible to the visitors. The project was also exploring sub-cultural urban practices (graffiti and street art, free cultural goods flux) as a form of resistance to overwhelming processes of commercialization. As a side effect, througout the city of Chisinau various examples of street art can be found. The sound work by Nicu ILFOVEANU Footage revisited realized within the INTERVENTIONS3 project wll be put on air on NASE RADIO on 26th of September, 2008 (frequence: 101.3 FM). Nicu ILFOVEANU is focusing on sonority of everyday life, recording the sounds of chaotic city pulse: voice of the lady selling rat poison on the market mixed with a radio show, sounds of the swinger somewhere on the periphery, birds, buses, cars. ILFOVEANU raised city sound curtain revealing another state of the place, providing density of invisible urban reality. Poetry work by Alexandru COSMESCU can be met on several trolleybus lines in Chisinau (nr. 4, 20, 8, 21, 28, 10) throughout September and October 2008. Instead of adds hang in the trolleybuses, COSMESCU offers poetical texts, creating intimate place when it is the least expected: inside the public transportation. After Chisinau presentation, the INTERVENTIONS3 project will be presented in Bucharest at UNA gallery in the beginning of October 2008 and in Zagreb, Croatia in 2009.
