Marti, 17 noiembrie 2009, Asociatia  Oberliht din Chisinau si  
Asociatia Slobodne Veze din Zagreb va invita la vernisajul expozitiei  
Proiectul CHIOSC.

Acest eveniment va fi urmat de actiunea Bors Party.

Va asteptam pe toti incepind cu ora 20:00!

Expozitia va fi deschisa pina la 1 decembrie, 2009.

In anul 2008 a inceput colaborarea intre Asociatia Slobodne veze si  
Asociatia Oberliht in cadrul unui proiect de interventii artistice in  
spatiul public din Chisinau. Proiectul INTERVENTII3 a implicat peste  
30 participanti din citeva tari europene care au fost invitati sa  
reflecte asupra proceselor ce influenteaza spatiul public al  
Chisinaului, structura vizuala a orasului, memoria si experienta  
vietii cotidiene a locuitorilor lui.

Colaborarea a continuat in 2009 cind a fost lansat proiectul CHIOSC,  
platforma publica de manifestare si punct de informare cultural.  
CHIOSC-ul este reprezentat printr-o unitate arhitecturala de proportii  
mici cu denumirea de APARTAMENT DESCHIS realizata de Stefan Rusu si  
instalata in centrul orasului Chisinau. In lipsa unui suport de  
dezvoltare institutionala pentru arta contemporana CHIOSC-ul apare ca  
o reactie la un context foarte concret si in calitate de o alternativa  
la sistemul autosuficient si ideologizat al institutiilor culturale  
existente. Din perspectiva unei logici al micro-dispozitivelor propuse  
de Deleuze (dispositif micrologique), proiectul umple una din nisele  
libere in zona culturii contemporane din Moldova.

In vara anului 2009 a fost lansat proiectul de resedinte artistice  
drept parte a proiectului CHIOSC. Acest lucru a condus diverse  
modalitati de cooperare si varietate de proiecte artistice  
colaborative. Primul artist care a luat parte la programul de  
resedinte a fost Tonka Malekovic a carei colaborare cu artistul  
moldovean Ion Fisticanu s-a regasit in proiectul Posibilitatea orasului.

Reprezentind o platforma de auto-reprezentare oferita comunitatii  
locale, ce incurajeaza participarea civica intr-o perspectiva in care  
autodeterminarea inseamna sa-ti recuperezi capacitatea autonoma sau  
colectiva de a-ti exprima dorintele in opozitie la un sistem ce se  
impune prin sanctiuni si se proliferează drept unul de control, CHIOSC- 
ul devine astfel un instrument politic.

Proiectul CHIOSC, punct de informare cultural si platforma publica de  
manifestare a fost conceput intr-un context social-politic complex al  
procesului de tranzitie, intentionind sa promoveze arta contemporana  
si cultura tinerilor in spatiul public prin strierea si contaminarea  
informationala a teritoriului urban, sa incurajeze participarea activa  
a diverselor categorii de persoane reprezentind diferite domenii  
deseori marginalizate si oferindu-le o platforma de manifestare  
publica, sa intareasca retelele locale si cele internationale de  
operatori si profesionisti din domeniul culturii, sa influenteze  
politicile publice in vederea extinderii accesului si utilizarii mai  
putin restrictionate a spatiul public.

Proiectul intentioneaza sa prezinte diversitatea si bogatia unor  
practici artistice din majoritatea tarilor care formeaza continentul  
european, astfel unul dintre obiective este de a invita artisti,  
teoreticieni, operatori culturali sa participe in activitatile CHIOSC- 
ului cu expozitii, ateliere, proiectii, prezentari, intalniri s. a.

APARTAMENT DESCHIS/FLAT SPACE este o replica functionala a unui  
apartament de tip socialist, elaborat de artistul visual Stefan RUSU  
pentru a reprezenta identitatea proiectului CHIOSC.
Punctul de plecare in elaborarea designului a fost preocuparea pentru  
a expune public spatiul privat al unui apartament limitat de  
standardele societatii socialiste. Fenomenul blocurilor sociale este  
unul caracteristic tarilor post-comuniste din Estul Europei si care  
inca domina peisajul urban si definesc identitatea spatiului public.
Structura deschisa a apartamentului sugereaza idea unui modul extras  
dintr-un bloc de apartamente cu elementele de baza specifice  
societatilor aflate în tranzitie: fatada principala cu un balcon  
impachetat in termopan, camera de zi, bucataria si un grup sanitar.  
Balconul este elementul cheie care va functiona ca punct de informare  
si diseminare a informatiei cu caracter cultural, in timp ce spatiul  
efectiv al apartamentului expus publicului va avea un caracter  
multifunctional si va servi drept o platforma deschisa pentru  
prezentari publice si evenimente culturale.

Proiectul CHIOSC cuprinde si rezultatele proiectului INTERVENTII3 care  
a fost realizat in 2008:

Tuesday, November 17st, 2009, Slobodne Veze Association from Zagreb  
and Oberliht Association from Chisinau invite you to the opening of  
the CHIOSC project exhibition.

This event will be followed up by a Borsch Party.

Everybody is welcome starting with 8 pm!

The exhibition is open till December 1st, 2009.

In the beginning of 2008 the collaboration between Loose Associations/ 
Slobodne veze and the Moldavian association Oberliht began. It was a  
project of artistic interventions in the public space of Chisinau,  
capital of the former Soviet Republic of Moldova. The project entitled  
INTERVENTIONS3 involved more than thirty participants from several  
European countries who were invited to reflect over the processes  
which have shaped Chisinau’s public space, its visual structure, the  
memory and the everyday experience of its inhabitants.

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 by Stefan Rusu, erected in the center of Chisinau. In view  
of the lack of institutional support for contemporary artistic  
expression, CHIOSC appears as a reaction to the given context and as  
an alternative to the existing selfsufficient, highly ideologized  
system of cultural institutions. Following Deleuze’s logic of micro- 
dispositive (dispositif micrologique), the project fills one of the  
empty niches in the area of Moldova’s contemporary culture.

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 Malekovic, whose collaboration with the Moldavian artist Ion  
Fisticanu resulted in the project The possibility of the city.

Giving the local community a platform for self-representation, CHIOSC  
becomes a political instrument, enabling civil empowerment in a  
perspective in which self-determination means recovery of an  
autonomous, or collective, capacity to express desires, in opposition  
to a system that imposes and proliferates control and sanctions.

The CHIOSC project, a cultural info-point and a platform for public  
participation has been conceived in a complex social and political  
context that marks the period of transition, with the intention to  
promote contemporary art and youth culture in public space by  
contaminating the urban territory with relevant information. It is  
meant to encourage active participation of diverse social groups  
representing often marginalized or less visible domains by putting at  
their disposal a public platform for manifestation, to strengthen  
local and develop regional and international network of cultural  
operators and professionals, to influence the existing public policies  
and local authorities to extend the access to public space and allow  
it's less restricted usage.

This project intends to present the diversity and richness of various  
art practices carried out in different parts of European continent,  
thus one of its objectives is to invite artists, theorists, cultural  
workers to participate in CHIOSCís activities with exhibitions,  
workshops, screenings, talks etc.

The FLAT SPACE/APARTAMENT DESCHIS project is a functional replica of a  
socialist apartment designed by Stefan RUSU commissioned to represent  
the identity of CHIOSC project.
The point of departure for the design of the FLAT SPACE/APARTAMENT  
DESCHIS project was to publically display the private space of a flat  
limited by the standards of the socialist society, which still is a  
strong visual element within the contemporary urban and social  
landscape of East European countries.
The transparency and the openness of the flat give the exposure to an  
architectural model extracted from the flat building that is composed  
from few basic elements characteristic to societies in transitions:  
the main façade with a balcony covered with plastic windows, dining  
room, kitchen and bathroom. The balcony is a key element, which will  
function as a cultural info point and will distribute information with  
cultural content. The rest of the space that is exposed to the public  
will bear a multifunctional character and will serve as an open  
platform for public presentations and cultural events.

The CHIOSC project includes the results of the INTERVENTIONS3 project  
realized in 2008:
