If Building could Talk
Short description of the work
The research-based performative art project IF BUILDINGS COULD TALK in Skopje is a collaborative action actively including the local community in the very process of its creation as one of the rare examples of collaborative practices in Macedonia. It is a multidimensional and multidisciplinary project which was conducted and conceived by the artist Filip Jovanovski, curated by Ivana Vaseva, in collaboration with the architect and researcher Dejan Ivanovski and the creative team: actresses: Kristina Lelovac, Sanja Arsovska, Jasmina Vasileva, Dolores Popovic, Ilija Tiricovski, video production, Dejan Petrovic, sound design and Oliver Musovic, production. In the center of this project is the Railway Workers’ Residential Complex in Skopje, built as a rare example of social and communal housing in the frames of the post-war modern architecture.
This project is part of The International Theatre Festival “Youth Open Theatre” in Skopje in the additional program and it`s also partner of the project „Cultural spaces for active citizens” in partnership with LOCOMOTIVA – Center for new initiatives in art and culture.

Brutally Fractured Patterns
Short description of the work
The disastrous natural and cultural origin of the brutally fractured patterns on the urban map of Skopje, seems to signify a scarified palimpsest of conflicting architectural layers. Nonetheless, to locate a certain historical stratum in the urban development of the city of Skopje as the original urban physiognomy is a highly questionable act. This exit from the architectural realm and the transgression towards traditional embroidery patterns allows us to critically maneuver at a safe distance from conflicting architectural viewpoints and pull the loose threads of the
urban map of Skopje from outside. That way we might employ embroidery as an ornamental way of stitching together historically and politically torn and fractured architectural patterns in new creative contexts. One might ask what is the relation of traditional embroidery and brutalist architecture, is not the escapade into the domain of textiles too safe of a distance to be of any relevance to contemporary theory of architecture ?

Trainspotting
Short description of the work
The anthropological standpoint that sees the particular reading of the ‘modern’ embedded in its key conceptual resource, the idea of the dynamic ‘cognitive map’, is crucial for understanding of the processes that influence the paradigm shift from the traditional to the modern reading of the city and by which the particular phases of the modern discourse can be identified. In the theory of perception the ‘movement’ defined by the Athens chapter as a synonym of the ‘functional city’ gains the role of a visual instrument, by which it is possible to create legible visual matrixes and then transmit them into a complex mental picture of the surrounding. The particular cinematic sequences of that picture generated by the transportation systems, create visual narratives whose strength lies in the permanent production of new interpretations of meanings. Two iconic buildings in Skopje from different generations of the Modern are benchmarking the local discourse paradigm shifts from ‘early modern’ through ‘doctrinaire modern’ to ‘late modern’: The Skopje Railway Station (Velimir Gavrilović, 1937) and the Transportation Centre (Kenzo Tange, 1980). Hereby, we present them as narrative tributes to the image of modern Skopje.

Lost In Translation
Short description of the work
Skopje an Europan Capitale through non sense ʺantiquisationʺ or unique European brutalism belonging to a web of extraordinary utopian project? By choosing a neoclassical decorum that is only a falsification of architecture and politics, Skopje did not make the choice of a ʺRenaissanceʺ, as Tange suggested in 1965, but of a great spring backwards, as others cities have done before. Rather than joining communities by a system architecture, which could be strengthened, but which made its identity, the capital chose to freeze its architectural future with the falsification of its image. And to ally itself with the merciless impoverishment of its values without bet on its European uniqueness. Who wins: false democracy of popular architecture or the populism of a false architecture?

Short description of the work
In the future, many things will be changed. The sky above Skopje will have two suns and spaceships will fly over our squares. People will look different, wearing new outfits that will allow for easier movement and survival in the new world. However, there will be much fewer of them left, as a consequence of the poor air quality and the continuous deterioration of the conditions for sustaining life. In the harsh circumstances of the future, what will survive is the city’s brutal architecture. Brutality will be a reminder of the damage done by men as a consequence of the lack of a greater vision and solidarity.

The text proposes a reflection on the dimension of tame modernism. The realization of Kenzo Tange’s project for Skopje is read as evidence of the reconciliation between the heroic dimension and the domestic condition of the project. These two opposite natures, which the fragment of modernity holds together, continue to face each other inside but at the same time propose a possible useful cohabitation to the paths of contemporary architecture.

Skopje. A Transitional Model
Text by Jana Konstantinova and Anna Positano – Photographs by Anna Positano
Short description of the work
Skopje is a case study to analyse contemporary architecture and identity in the Balkans, in the light of the current Macedonian political affairs and urban transformations. Several cultures and long-lasting migrations shaped Skopje’s urban fabric. Yet the city is mostly the result of political choices of the last fifty years. In 1963 the global political response to Skopje’s earthquake profoundly affected the city. As the Cold War reached its climax, international efforts to rebuild the city had the objective to pursue a global political stability. With the support of the United Nations, the Yugoslavian government adopted Kenzo Tange’s reconstruction plan of brutalist buildings, which made Skopje a modern, utopian metropolis. When Macedonia gained independence in 1991, nationalist politics changed the identity of Skopje’s architecture. The Socialist, international post-quake architecture could not represent Macedonian identity any more. Along with slow political transition, in 2010 the government announced a plan of urban renovation, Skopje 2014. The plan is turning Skopje’s brutalist heritage into neo-neoclassical buildings. The new confused and scattered built environment takes apart the civil society from architecture. This in combination with a young, uncertain political situation affects people’s personal and socio-cultural values. The plan attracted strong criticism since its announcement. Protesters have taken to the streets of Skopje and recently have turned into a Colourful Revolution against the general cultural austerity. Similar to other former Socialist countries, Skopje appears unable to re-examine and evaluate its architectural past. A city that once was the model of global architectural solidarity, now offers a case study of transitional post-Socialist dystopia.

Skopje’s Mega Block: modern architecture as an art of grafting
Short description of the work
The formative idea of “grafting” or “graftage” is originally a horticultural technique of inserting tissues from one plant to another in order for them to join together and continue to grow as a single plant. The technique of “graftage” in architectural context would mean that a new architecture is being interpolated over an old one, but by a set of treatments used, the different architectural interventions function as a single entity. It is presented in this text in the context of modern architecture of one singular urban block of Skopje.

Typological shifts of Skopje and the continuing discontinuity of its urban landscape
Short description of the work
The essay introduces a particular historical frame, interpreting the urban development of the city of Skopje as a self-referential paradox. Within its turbulent history, Skopje survived three significant typological shifts represented with the urban designs by the teams of Josif Mihajlovic, Ludjek Kubes and Kenzo Tange. Partially carrying out and later abandoning these projects, led Skopje to reawake each time portraying a new typological narrative.
In this context, the so called “project Skopje2014” is interpreted as the latest narrative which continues the discontinuity of the urban landscape. In addition, it poses a great ethical challenge for the urban thinkers in Skopje at present time.

A plea for the balkanization of europe
Short description of the work
The storytellers of the new Balkan states are diligently handicrafting something using memories and desires. However the price cannot be measured in euros. The price is the transformation of the local inhabitants into foreigners. It is time we remembered the true history of the Balkans. In the 20th century, the history of the old multinational states was overwritten with a national history. Let us expose it. We will see: The “Balkanization of Europe” is not a doomsday scenario. It is, with its democratic characteristics, the only way.

Politiche di nazionalizzazione e architettura: la radicale trasformazione urbanistica della città di Skopje
Short description of the work
Al fine di comprendere le ragioni delle scelte che hanno portato alla distruzione del patrimonio architettonico brutalista, si propone qui un’analisi che mette in relazione l’architettura e il nazionalismo. Tale trasformazione urbana è dovuta al totale stravolgimento del centro di Skopje fortemente voluta dal governo VMRO-DPMNE. La ricerca mette a confronto più teorie derivanti dalla scienza politica, dalla sociologia e da quest’ultima applicata all’architettura. Il periodo cui si fa riferimento nello studio è quello compreso tra le ricostruzioni del 1963 e dei primi due decenni del XXI secolo.

Vardar’s Banks
Short description of the work
15 cm of rope River Vardar, Skopje-Macedonia 2009
Action realized for the Workshop “Public Invasion. Derivè in Skopje”, curated by Marco Trulli, in collaboration with Bjcem and Arci Viterbo. “Vardar’s Banks” is an action realized in correspondence of the banks of the river Vardar, in the city of Skopje. The characteristic of this river is that divides in two parts the city: from a side there is the commercialized & gentrificated Skopje, in the hand of Realestate speculation; from the other the poor Skopje, of Roma camps, where marginalised gypsy community live, and where you can still see naked children play at the foot of the river (at least until 2009, year of the action). With this work I have wished to connect and getting the two cities talking. I met a friend in the midpoint of a bridge, each of us took an head of the rope and, keeping the rope tight, we separated by crossing the opposite banks of the river Vardar. The rope was then fixed to the ground.

Short description of the work
L’operazione SK2014 si sta attrezzando per far scomparire testimonianze importanti del modernismo di Skopje. Ma c’è ancora qualche speranza di salvezza nella lotta tra il “bene” e il “lato oscuro”.
Si vuole creare idealmente un dialogo tra il progetto contemporaneo e gli edifici del moderno a Skopje. Una convivenza possibile che porti un valore aggiunto al patrimonio esistente e non il contrario.
L’intento del disegno è fornire uno spunto per cercare di far notare come una seconda vita sia possibile per determinati edifici che caratterizzano Skopje, senza doverne cancellare il carattere originale, basta vederli da un altro punto di vista.
La luna è davvero l’unica speranza per salvaguardare il brutalismo macedone?
Invertire il punto di vista può permetterci di vedere tutto in un’ottica differente.

Sculptural sunset

Short description of the work
The hardest thing to do is take out architecture out of it’s context especially when it is based around it. Here, through a simple shot of the corner, we see the architectural detail of the Museum of Macedonia.
The modernist white setting of the Museum of Contemporary Art is changed thanks to the entering light of the sunset. Suddenly it gives the building a new colorful character, one that mimics an art piece.
The soft pastel colors in contrast to the harsh concrete, an intertwining in the facade of the student dormitory in Skopje.
Trapped childhood memories in a metal box, a home to laughter and joy, once very close, now forgotten and deteriorating.
The clear blue sky mixes in between the cold grey tones of the facade of the building of the Macedonian Radio, creating a connection between nature and architecture. Isolated from the context of the whole form, this corner gives us a peak into the details of Macedonian modernism.

Title of the work
Re-Building Skopje: The Curations of Past and Present in the ‘Capital of Kitsch’
Short description of the work
Architectural investigation into Skopje provides us with the tools to understand both the Yugoslav and post-Yugoslav architectural and political events. The contemporary architecture of Skopje exemplifies of the architectural production in the post-socialist Southeastern Europe and its deeply intertwined relationship with politics. The examination of the re-production of politics and ideology through architectural construction, allows for an insight into events taking place in Skopje today, in the deeply problematic processes of both canceling and negating of the communist past. I study the two reconstructions of Skopje, the post-1963 earthquake period and the contemporary architectural events in the city, and I argue that both projects exhibit the shifting relationships between architecture and politics, as well as its perpetual re-negotiations, and the paramount importance of their contexts in understanding the conjunction of the past and present in the city.
Key words
Brutalism – Heritage – Nationalism
