Турбо Поп и квинтесенцијалниот херој од Игор Тошевски
(објавен 10 jуни, 2012 во Граѓански, бр. 5)
Зборот ангажиранво контекст на уметноста произлегува токму од политичкиот дискурс. Затоа, на многу јазици, она што го подразбираме како ангажирана уметност едноставно се нарекува политичка.Но, денес таа станува по-комплексна материја за обработка. Пред се, тешко е да се биде аполитичен во денешни времиња, но истовремено политичкиот став не подразбира исклучиво позиционирање во однос на дејности врзани со општественото управување и дистрибуција на моќта.

STRATEGIES OF REMEMBRANCE #1
Date: 06. 06. 2012 (Wednesday) Location: Bul. 8 Septemvri, 12/1-9, Skopje Time: 19:00 - 22.00

Strategies of Remembrance is a collaborative research about the relations between cultural and socio-political aspects of memory. Defined as a recollection of subliminal experiences, remembrance is an inseparable part of consciousness of ourselves, and a semantic view of the world that surrounds us. Conceived as a storyline divided in chapters, the first part of this exhibition shall re-examine the very nature of what constitutes personal memories and their internal correlations. Respectfully, with the intention of successfully decoding the fundamental material of collective memory, Strategies of Remembrance 1 will take place in a private apartment, as the starting point in the process of molding the structure of identity.
Bul. 8 Septemvri, 12/1-9, Skopje

Cheap tricks and fancy lies, the obsessive zapping of TV channels, decaffeinated ideology and fast food. Be original! Be powerful! Buy the newest product and enjoy the benefits of a society where wealth determines your identity…
Popular culture is our everyday reality, from movies, television, comics and advertisements to the clothes we wear and the language we speak. Defined as the ‘art of the masses’, pop culture has managed to obliterate the borderline between the aesthetics of kitsch and of high art.
In a head on collision with consumerism and turbo Pop, EPP is an attempt to interpret the narratives such as belief, myths, icons and heroic ideals which constantly reaffirm the values of the society in which we exist.

800 Revolutions per Minute is the first of a series of exhibitions/ events organized by KOOPERACIJA. It takes place in a Laundromat setting, instigating the elaboration of innovative strategies and interventions within specific conditions determined by constricted space and time frame. The title is borrowed from the product manual of the actual washing machines, describing stages of a spin cycle.
