“THINK! THINK! THINK!” On Saturday, November 14th, at 18:00h at the Cultural Centre CK, press to exit project space will hold a special public event program titled “THINK! THINK! THINK!” curated by Yane Calovski consisting of promotion of 3 publications, a public discussion and a group exhibition curated by the press to exit’s guest curator Fatos Ustek. The public event reinstates the main programs of press to exit project space in one cohesive framework. The aim is to examine the productions and the narrative which were carefully crafted over the last 5 years and the meaningful trace press to exit project space has left on the Macedonian and international artistic and curatorial production. The book titled “THINK! THINK! THINK! Expending the present, launching the future” is edited by Yane Calovski and Hristina Ivanoska as a collection of commissioned texts, interviews and artistic interventions by regional and international cultural practitioners as well as an index of events and projects dating from 2004-2009. The book provides a medium for reflection on the issues facing the independent artistic and curatorial production in the region and beyond. Additionally, the books from the New Project Production series 2009 “Hidden Identities” by Neda Firfova and “1/8” by Biljana Aldoste will be promoted. At 20:00h the group exhibition “Delocalization” curated by the Istanbul-born and London-based independent curator Fatos Ustek will be opened. The exhibition questions the notions of delocalization, categorizations, the local and the global context in contemporary art production. Eight internationally established artists have been commissioned new works specifically for Skopje. The press to exit project space was established in 2004 by the artists Yane Calovski and Hristina Ivanoska as a special program-based artist initiative for research and production in the field of visual arts and curatorial practices. This event is part of the DIVERSions, a special program of the SCP, marking the 10 years of the Swiss Cultural Programme presence in Macedonia. overview
