International event of contemporary art

10-15 october

metalurgjiku i elbasanit-albania

 

"Informal Mind" prezanton projektin e artit bashkohor ne hapsirat e degraduara te kompleksit me te madh te ndertuar gjate periudhes komuniste ne Shqiperi. Ky kompleks-qytet gjigant quhet Kombinati Metalurgjik, i cili eshte ndertuar pas viteve 60 prane qytetit te Elbasanit, 68 km nga kryeqyteti Tirane-Shqiperi. Ky Kompleks ishte edhe zemra e industrise se Shqiperise komuniste, por ne te njejten kohe ishte dhe simboli i madheshtise se ambicjes apo performances njerzore se asaj periudhe. 

"Informal Mind" tenton te krijoje nje raport te ri me degradimin e te kaluares, duke i lene vend energjise se re te arteve emergjente . Ky qytet fantazme tashme, rikthehet ne metaforizem apo simbolizem perballe konflikteve te shoqerive me histori teper kontradiktore. Nje e kaluar me shume mure rrethuese dhe izolime anti njerzore, te cilat i kishin ngritur me duart e tyre, aty ku njeriu nuk kishte asnje vlere identifikuese. 

Veprat do te jene ne: 

• Art performance,Teater konceptual, video art, instalations, multimedia, visual art workshop etj

"Informal Mind" project presents contemporary art in spaces with large complex buildings during the communist period in Albania ( between 1960-1990) This giant complex called Metallurgical Combine, was built after 1960 near the town of Elbasan, 68 kilometers from the capital Tirana-Albania. This giant complex, was the heart of communist Albania Industry [ helped by Mao's Communist Government of China ] but at the same time was the symbol of, greatness, ambition and human performance.

"Informal mind" tends to create a new relationship between the degradation of the past and the new energy space of contemporary arts. This gigantic ghost town, nowadays forgotten, restores for us the symbolism of societies with highly contradictory stories. This past story surrounded by so many walls and inhuman isolations...that the workers built with their own hands.

This is a contemporary international arts event.
