Copula #2 is a continuation of the current cultural practice related to the
reactivation of public and urban space. Additionally, it refers to the lack of
adaptation (positioning) of people in social and economic aspirations that
channel the global capital flow.
This year’s episode of Spajalica/Copula keeps its current focus – a collective
appropriation of urban space and acknowledgment of its public purpose
accompanied by artistic goals and community ideas, deliberating the
possibilities the city currently offers or hides. However, in the omnipresent
hustle with swift changes that elude the majority’s will and impose physical
and symbolic distances, this year we are additionally motivated by a subject
closely connected to the issue of pushing public space out of the community
horizon. We are referring to the trap of the ever more rapidly subjective clock
ticking, we look eye to eye with the decay of unplanned entertainment that
becomes a derogatory word and a sign of an unwanted worldview – inefficiency
and sloth.
Around 30 local and foreign artists, researchers and theorists will implement
projects as solo or collaborative initiatives between 8 April and 31 May 2014,
in the zone from the main pedestrian area – Korzo – to the edge of Sušak and
Delta parking lot, over Karolina Riječka Pier, to the industrial zone near the
railway station. As one-day or several-day events, workshops, lectures and
public actions, the project will contribute to the idea of a city as a place of
creating social alternatives. The generator of temporary art projects will this
year step out of the close proximity of the Museum of Modern and Contemporary
Art, stretching over the museum boundaries and entering the specifics of
particular urban toponyms, for and to the purpose of exchange and mutuality
among people.
Copula #2 is a continuation of the current cultural practice related to the
reactivation of public and urban space. Additionally, it refers to the lack of
adaptation (positioning) of people in social and economic aspirations that
channel the global capital flow. These are followed by dilemmas related to
wishes for a better future that could be fulfilled by conscious redirection of
individual desires and needs. Therefore, the project is still nurturing
informal relationships in order to create a situation of mutual trust and
empowerment.
