“Making objects and marks is also about making possibilities, making choices - and that is one of the last freedoms we have. To provide that is one of the functions of art”. (Mel Chin)
Going beyond discussions of post-net productions in the digital realm, the Austrian Culture Pavilion - FLUCA with the project “Get Involved: Focus Direct Urbanism” functions as a mobile intervention of the artists group Tat Ort (Alexandra Berlinger, Wolfgang Fiel) and as a framework for interdisciplinary projects, performances, screenings and concerts in the heart of Plovdiv. This is how art in public space creates essentially new spaces as if in passing: a space to think, a space with leeway to act, to remember, to sit, a social landscape – a place of encounter.
The starting point of the project curated by Ursula Maria Probst is the use of a shipping container which is encacpsulated with a reflective surface. Through a number of alternations and adaptations the container as a performing installation/sculpture is able to gradually transform into an open platform for a wide number of public events while retaining its primary quality as a mobile and compact spatial entity. It is developed in collaboration with the local architects from Atelie Duo. The partners SARIEV Contemporary, Open Arts Foundation, artnewscafé, and FLUC Vienna will invigorate the Austrian Cultural Pavilion with an exchange program by Bulgarian and Austrian artists until October 15th.
