Zoran Poposki's participatory
art project “The Right to the City” is on view in the international
exhibition URBAN DREAMS at the Center for Contemporary Art in Plovdiv,
Bulgaria, from Oct 20 to Nov 20, 2012.
Based on manifold perspectives of diverse artists, URBAN DREAMS
explores public and semi-public spaces where art becomes a research strategy
and the city changes into a laboratory. For this project the exhibition space
of the Centre for Contemporary Art changes into an archive and reading room of
(mainly Eastern) European artistic urban research. In addition to the results of the latest artistic urbanism in Plovdiv and in other partner cities of the HEICO network, this archive will also present international projects from the last twenty years by different forms of media, based on material provided by partner organisations and artists. The exhibition is curated by Emil Mirazchiev.
Funded
by the European Commission, URBAN DREAMS is a series of public events organized
by the Art Today Association, Plovdiv/Bulgaria in the frame of HEICO, in
partnership with the Heinrich-Boell-Foundation Brandenburg/Germany,
SPACES/Slovak Republic, the Art&Cultural Studies Laboratory/Armenia, GeoAIR
Association/Georgia and the KSAK-Center for Contemporary Art, Chisinau/Moldova.
The event is part of the initiative "Plovdiv - Candidate for European
Capital of Culture 2019”.
