“My experience with artist in residency programs”
Text by Oliver Musovik
“Artist in Residency programs provide artists with time and space away from their home environment, where one can reflect, conduct research, and investigate new works or means of production.

“On the art spaces and residencies summit”
Text by Slobodanka Stevceska
I was invited to this gathering as an artist who works in the context of the Republic of North Macedonia and has already participated in quite a number of residencies. As a contribution to that, I would briefly drop my experiences and reflections on the existing models of artist in residency programs.

Reflections on the Art spaces and Residence Summit, Kino Kultura, Skopje, December 2019
Let me start with an introduction to the events that took place in Copenhagen during the days of our summit. I hope it will be productive to share this with you since I feel that I went through a steep learning curve during those days. The summit was an eye-opener to me, but so was a pending shit storm, which was a growing threat to the survival of Trampoline House.

“Summit in Skopje 2019, reflections”
Text by Marijana Cvetkovic
Reflections
For the occasion of the Summit that took place in November 2019 in Skopje, I presented the model of cultural and social center in Belgrade, Magacin. With the focus of the Summit on new thinking about the residency programs and what a residency could be, I wanted to stress the importance of the context in which any residency, and therefore any creative work can take place.

“Rethinking the idea of art residency”
Text by Violeta Kachakova
Observing the concept of residency
In contemporary world of art, the residency, as Florian Schneider[1] precisely explains “connects space and time through a subjectivity that is based on and generates a somehow paradoxical effect: a continuity of temporary presence; furthermore, it is supposed to generate outcomes that sustain, no matter how they perform; and in doing so, it prepares the ground for the possibility to affect change”.

“Cultural and art institutions are dead! Let’s claim for new – or notes on discussions” (self-interview)
Text by Biljana Tanurovska Kjulavkovski
What is your personal/professional relation to space and institution in arts and culture?
December 2019, four years after starting Kino Kultura, and two years after the summit in Mannheim, still focusing with the notions of institution and space, and their relations to the practice of curating, to art, to labor, to conditions of work, to collaboration, to ownership, to power and its distribution, to different/ various forms of self-management… Probably these are ongoing issues, notions that are always on my horizon.
The Publication is developed in the frame of the project “Cultural Spaces for Active Citizens” organized by “Lokomotiva” – Center for New Initiatives in Arts and Culture – Skopje in partnership with “Faculty of things that can’t be learned” (FRU) – Bitola/Skopje, and in collaboration with “Loud Textile Worker” – Shtip, “Freedom Square” – Skopje, and “Theater Navigator Cvetko” – Skopje.
By creating and implementing specific methodological approaches and activities, the project aimed to raise questions about and regarding the public space, the space in culture and art; or, more specifically, its function, practice, governance, i.e. its use by the professionals in the field of culture and the citizens. Therefore, within the timeframe of this project the partners dedicate their action towards the following four spaces: “Kino Kultura” – project space for contemporary performing arts and contemporary culture in Skopje, the cinema of the Railway Residential Building in Skopje, Officers’ House in Bitola, and Cultural and Artistic Center “Textile” in Shtip.
The publication presents these four spaces in the realm of their history, the current situation of the spaces and their functioning – ownership, organizational and management structure, results from space related researches and recommendations for their further development as public spaces in culture and art for the professional community and the citizens.
Additionally, the publication gives overview of the project and its activities implemented within the period May 2017 – July 2018.
