<p class="MsoNormal"><i style=""><span style="" lang="EN-US">Loose Associations: Lines of Movement </span></i><span style="" lang="EN-US">program is aimed at research and
documentation of experimental art practices in the countries of the former
Eastern Bloc. The program is aimed at influencing current lack of knowledge and
connections among the ex socialist countries in Central and Eastern Europe, as
well as contributing to self-contextualization of the respective local art
scenes.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">In the
beginning of 2008 the collaboration between Loose Associations/Slobodne veze
and the Moldavian association Oberliht began. It was a project of artist
interventions in public space of Chisinau, capital of the former Soviet
Republic of Moldova. The project entitled <i style="">INTERVENTIONS3
</i>involved more than thirty participants from several European countries who
were invited to reflect over the processes that have shaped Chisinau’s public
space, its visual structure, the memory and the everyday experience of its
inhabitants.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">The
collaboration continued in 2009, when the CHIOSC project, a platform for public
participation and cultural production, was launched. CHIOSC is embodied in a
small architectural unit entitled FLAT SPACE, work of Stefan Rusu, currently
presented in Gallery VN in Zagreb. In the summer of 2009, the <i style="">artist in residency </i>project was
initiated within the framework of the CHIOSC project. The first artist to
participate in CHIOSC’s <i style="">art in residency </i>program
was Tonka Maleković, whose collaboration with the Moldavian artist Ion
Fisticanu resulted in <i style="">The possibility of
the city</i> project<i style="">.</i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i style=""><span style="" lang="EN-US"> </span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">The
self-organization in arts, in the context lacking complete institutional
support for independent initiatives focused on contemporary artistic
expression, in Moldova, will be the topic of presentation, screening and talk
by Vladimir Us, curator and member of the Oberliht Young Artists Association
from Chisinau.</span></p>
