Preocuparea principala a Paulei Durinova, participant la programul de  
rezidente artistice CHIOSC, este filmul documentar. Pe parcursul  
rezidentei sale, artista si-a propus sa exploreze citeva spatii din  
Chisinau pe care le-am discutat si am incercat sa le analizam  
impreuna, si care ar fi putut sa ne explice mai bine pulsul vietii din  
acest oras, conflictele existente si politicile publice care determina  
dezvoltarea spatiilor de uz comun in ultimii douazeci de ani.

In filmul documentar JOCUL ETERN sint prezentate doua spatii cu o  
pondere diferita: Memorialul “Eternitatea”, un spatiu exagerat de mare  
si monumental, care insa este umplut o singura data pe an cu ocazia  
zilei de 9 mai, si scuarul jucatorilor de sah de pe str. Mateevici,  
care este activ constant.
In contrast cu Memorialul, care a fost inaugurat in 1975 de catre  
autoritatile sovieticie si purta numele “Biruinta”, pentru a oferi  
tribut celor cazuti in “marele razboi pentru apararea patriei”, fapt  
care da curs diverselor intepretari si ii ofera un rol de “tribuna” de  
pe care sa se poata manifesta politicul, in contextul in care actualul  
teritoriu al Republicii Moldova este si o consecinta a multiplelor  
anexari si experimente geo-politice, scuarul jucatorilor de sah nu  
este altceva decit un segment din strada transformat intr-un club de  
sah in aer liber la initiativa unui grup de cetateni. In urma  
privatizarilor obscure din anii ’90 si formarii capitalului, vechiul  
club de sah care se afla la intrarea in parcul Valea Morilor  
(denumirea veche Lacul Comsomolistilor) a fost demolat iar in locul  
acestuia a aparut un local de elita. Necatind la faptul ca scuarul  
jucatorilor de sah duce lipsa de amenajare, acesta este un loc care  
atrage jucatori chiar si in prioada rece a anului.
In acest film Paula explica caracterul celor doua spatii prin vocile  
oamenilor aflati intr-un raport cu ele, iar discursul din film  
articuleaza notiunea de conflict si lupta, si multiplele situatii in  
care acestea pot sa existe.
Ambele situatii, odata suprapuse, demonstreaza masura in care  
politicul priveaza cetatenii acestui stat de spatii publice bine  
amenajate, care sa raspunda necesitatilor curente ale diverselor  
comunitati.

In conexiune cu filmul JOCUL ETERN, artista realizeaza si o serie de  
fotografii in care este prezentata situatia unui numar de femei pe  
care ea le surprinde in diverse situatii si le reprezinta ca pe niste  
“statui vii”. Sint femei care lucreaza, isi exprima atitudinea si  
lupta pentru o viata mai buna.

Paula Durinova (1987) este un regizor independent de filme documentare  
stabilita in Bratislava, Slovacia. Ea si-a facut studiile la Academia  
de Arte in Banska Bystrica, Slovacia si la Academia de Teatru, Radio,  
Film si Televiziune din Ljubljana, Slovenia. Este fondatoarea  
Asociatiei Living documentary.
“Realizarea unor filme documentare ma ajuta sa-mi exprim gindurile si  
sa analizez subiecte in care sint interesata. Oamenii si locurile din  
jur, spatiile post-sovietice, subiecte de ordin social si religia se  
regasesc in lucrarile mele de creatie. In fiecare film incerc sa-mi  
exprim dorintele si sentimentele personale.”

Proiectul SPACES (Zone Publice Durabile pentru Cultura în Tarile din  
Est) aduna la un loc artisti si lucratori din domeniul culturii din  
patru tari ale Parteneriatului Estic, Armenia, Georgia, Moldova,  
Ucraina, care se preocupa de reprezentarea unor subiecte sociale  
specifice pentru spatiile publice din orasele lor. Proiectul mai are  
drept scop fortificarea scenei independente de arta si cultura din  
aceste tari.
Cuvintul cheie este dezvoltarea capacitatii – de la dezvoltarea unor  
pozitii ferme de pe care de lansat un proces de negociere cu agentii  
guvernamentali pina la procese de autoinstruire, imbunatatire a  
contactului cu societatea civila si publicul, si identificarea unor  
noi spatii unde arta si cultura pot avea loc. Intrebarea principala  
este: Cum prin arta si cultura sa recistigam noi spatii pentru  
cetateni, in special pentru tineri? In cadrul proiectului SPACES vor  
fi organizate si desfasurate evenimente artistice participative in  
spatiul public din cele patru tari. Procese de lucru in retea,  
cercetare sociologica si dezbateri pe marginea policiticilor culturale  
vor acompania aceste evenimente. O intelegere mai buna a rolului pe  
care il poate avea arta si cultura vizavi de spatiul public in  
spatiile post-comuniste, un sprijin mai puternic acordat scenei  
independente, noi concepte de guvernare culturala in regiune vor fi  
citeva din rezultatele proiectului SPACES.

Paula Durinova is mainly working with documentary film. In the frame  
of the KIOSK artist in residency program she proposed herself to  
explore several spaces in Chisinau that we have been discussing about  
and tried to analyze together, which could explain better the rhythm  
of the city life, the existing conflicts and public policies that were  
determining the development of places of common use during the last  
two decades.

In ETERNAL PLAY documentary film there are two different spaces  
presented: “Eternity” Memorial, a huge and monumental space that is  
filled one single time a year, during the 9th of May celebrations, and  
the chess players’ square situated on Mateevici str. and that is  
constantly full and active.
The Memorial was inaugurated in 1975 by Soviet authorities. At that  
time it was bearing the name of “Victory” Memorial as a tribute to  
those who died for the “Great war for the homeland defense”, which  
fact gives birth to various interpretations and transforms this place  
into a “tribute” for political manifestations, in the context in which  
the actual territory of Republic of Moldova was a subject to  
consequent annexations and geo-political experiments. In contrast to  
it, the chess players’ square is nothing more than a segment of a  
street transformed into an open-air chess club by a group of citizens.  
As a follow up of the obscure privatization processes from 90s and  
formation of the capital, the old chess club that was situated at the  
entrance of Valea Morilor Lake (old name Comsomolist Lake) was  
demolished and a luxury private space was built instead of it. Despite  
the fact that the chess players’ square is lacking any infrastructure  
this place attracts players even throughout the cold period of the year.
In her film Paula explains the character of those two spaces through  
the voice of the people who feel related to them. In the same time the  
film articulates the notions of conflict and struggle and places them  
in various contexts.
Both situations, once compared, explain better to which extend the  
politics is able to deprive the local community of public spaces that  
would respond to citizens’ current needs.

In connection to the film ETERNAL PLAY the artist made a photo series  
of women she has met in various situations and that she presents as  
“living statues”. These are women that work, express their attitudes  
and struggle for a better life.

Paula Durinova (1987) is an independent documentary filmmaker based in  
Bratislava, Slovakia. She has been studying at the Academy of Arts in  
Banská Bystrica, Slovakia and at the Academy for Theatre, Radio, Film  
and Television in Ljubljana, Slovenia. She is founder of the Living  
documentary association.
“Making documentary films helps me to express my thoughts and reflect  
on the topics that I’m curious about. The people and places that  
surround me, post-soviet spaces, social issues and religion influence  
my artistic creation. In each film I try to express my appeal and  
personal feelings.”

SPACES (Sustainable Public Areas for Culture in Eastern Countries)  
project assembles artists and cultural workers in four Eastern partner  
countries, Armenia, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine, who aim at reflecting  
societal issues in the public realm of their city. It also aims at  
strengthening the independent art and culture scene.
The key word is capacity building – from developing a better standing  
in negotiations with governmental agencies, to processes of self- 
learning, increasing contact with civil society audiences, and finding  
new spaces where art and culture can take place. The core question of  
the project: How can art and culture regain public space(s) for  
citizens, especially for young people? SPACES will curate and carry  
out participatory art events in public spaces in the four countries.  
Processes of networking, social research and policy debates will  
accompany the in situ events. A better understanding of the role  
culture and art can play with regard to public space in post communist  
spaces, a stronger lobby for the independent scenes, new concepts for  
cultural governance in the region: these are some of the SPACES results.
