ABOUT

The CHIOSC project continues the INTERVENTIONS3 project that took place in Chisinau in 2008 and that consisted in a series of artistic interventions in various public spaces. Please consult the PDF version of the catalogue of INTERVENTIONS3 project here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2456009/CHIOSC/20080924_INTERVENTII3_machetat.pdf

Besides playing the role of an interface between the local art community and the international art scene, the CHIOSC project offers a platform for discussing the today’s condition of public space and the notion of 'public' aiming at understanding better the post-soviet urban space of Chisinau, almost 2 decades after the fall of the Soviet Union. We are also interested in artistic practices that extend the functionality of the pubic space, and in art projects that are growing the access to public space allowing different categories of people to make use of it.

CHIOSC project is also closely connected to the [Oberlist] mailing list that we are managing: http://idash.org/mailman/listinfo/oberlist

The project identity is represented by the FLAT SPACE a work by Stefan RUSU that was installed in November 2009 downtown in Chisinau and that forms one of the central point around which the project activities are carried out. Here is a video report from its launch: http://artycok.tv/lang/en-us/3802/flat-space/ and a short description of the work itself.
