In the beginning of 2008. began the collaboration between Loose
Associations/Slobodne veze and the Moldavian association Oberliht. It was a
project of artist intervention in the public space of Chisinau, capital of
the former Soviet Republic of Moldova. The collaboration was 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, erected in the
center of Chisinau.

The FLAT SPACE project is a functional replica of a one-room apartment that
comprises the basic components of a typical socialist living space: the
kitchen, the bathroom, the living room, and the balcony. The transparency
and openness of the structure is an important feature of the project, since
the apartment has no external walls (with the exception of the façade), and
the flat interior is exposed to the public.

In the summer of 2009, the artist in residency project was initiated within
the framework of the CHIOSC project. It led to many types of cooperation and
a variety of collaborative artistic projects. The first artist to
participate in CHIOSC's artist in residency program was Tonka Maleković
(Hr), whose collaboration with the Moldavian artist Ion Fisticanu resulted
in the project The possibility of the city.

The CHIOSC exhibition in VN gallery is part of the Loose Associations: Lines
of Movement program, which is aimed at research and documentation of
experimental practices in the countries of the former Eastern Bloc.

The exhibition is supported by Ministry of culture, Republic of Croatia and
European Cultural Foundation (ECF)
Partner organizations: Oberliht (Chisinau) and Visura Aperta (Zagreb)
