Darko Aleksovski / Factories 18 January – 28 January 2016 Opening: Monday, 18 January at 20 h Artist’s talk: Tuesday, 19 January at 18:30 h OPENING HOURS: mo – fr 18 – 21 h NMG@PRAKTIKA Gallery PRAKTIKA Dom mladih Ulica slobode 28, Split ABOUT WORK “I come from Veles, known as the industrial city in the Republic of Macedonia. In the second half of the 20th century the city housed a lot of factory giants, each one operating within a different industry. There were factories for food, building materials, textile, metal industries, chemicals etc. These factories still exist but they have failed to realize their full production potential. Many people were fired during privatization and they are presently unemployed. At the moment, the factories are mostly ruined and serve as monuments, reminiscent of a time when they were “feeding” a whole town. They are reminders of a failed history. Factories is a series of large-format, colour-by-numbers posters. They are designed as participatory drawings, which involve the audience to create a new image for these infamous monuments. These posters are my small contribution towards this social situation; re-imagined as blank sheets of paper, ready to be coloured and finished as images, thus possibly inverting the factories’ lost potential and the fact that the good purpose they served is a history. Dedicated to my parents.” Statement by Darko Aleksovski, the young Macedonian artist, places the work Factories in the context of transition and collective memory that are still issues artists from these areas deal with. Born in 1989, the artist and grew up with the same issues the whole city faced collectively. Facing the social trauma through his artwork he turns to childhood and the game, a tool with which children and adults spontaneously overcome new challenges. Hometown factories landscapes and interiors thus become large format paint by numbers posters. For Split exhibition the work is extended to slide projectors, as symbols of technologies run over by time, and slides that refers to the participation of the audience in this project. He is aware that collective trauma, resulting from the historical failure of one system and the inability of the one that succeeded it to heal the wounds of the transition process, can not be solved alone and invites the audience to participate in problem solving. Involved in the work, colouring the factories we symbolically participate in the treatment of trauma. But the meaning of the work does not stop here. It is through the play that thee author questions current relations of culture and industry. Playing, we are forced to think about the consequences of revitalization of industry (in practice often industrial heritage) through culture and the new role of culture that is increasingly linked to term industry. Familiar relations of industry and culture have disappeared along with the factories in the privatization process. The author proposes a collective game as a tool of discovering their new relationship and role in society. ABOUT AUTHOR Darko Aleksovski (1989, Macedonia) is a visual and performing artist.

Darko Aleksovski / Tvornice 18. siječnja – 28. siječnja 2016. Otvorenje: ponedjeljak, 18. siječnja u 20 h Razgovor s umjetnikom: utorak, 19. siječnja u 18:30 h RADNO VRIJEME: pon – pet 18 – 21 h NMG@PRAKTIKA Galerija PRAKTIKA Dom mladih Ulica slobode 28, Split O RADU “Dolazim iz Velesa, industrijskog grada u Republici Makedoniji. U drugoj polovici 20. stoljeća u gradu je bilo smješteno mnogo velikih tvornica, svaka djelujući unutar svoje industrije; tvornice hrane, građevnog materijala, tekstila, metalurške, kemijske i td. Tvornice još postoje ali nisu uspjele ostvariti svoj puni proizvodni potencijal. Za vrijeme procesa privatizacije veliki broj radnika je otpušten i danas su nezaposleni. Danas su te tvornice, u stanju ruina, spomenici, podsjetnici na vrijeme kada su “hranile” cijeli grad. Napuštene i u propadanju tvornice su podsjetnici su na propale prošlosti. Rad Tvornice serija je bojanki velikog formata. Zamišljene su kao participativni crteži koji uključuju publiku u stvaranje nove slike nepopularnih spomenika. To je moj mali doprinos društvenoj situaciji; tvornice zamišljene kao bijeli list papira spreman za bojanje, za stvaranje nove slike. Izgubljeni potencijal tvornica i činjenica da je njihovo doba prošlost tako se izokreću i postaju novi početak. Posvećeno mojim roditeljima.” Izjava Darka Aleksovskog, mladog makedonskog autora, rad Tvornice smješta u kontekst tranzicije i pitanja kolektivne memorije koja su još uvijek aktualna među umjetnicima odraslim na ovim područjima. Rođen 1989. godine umjetnik je i sam odrastao s problemima s kojima se kolektivno suočavao cijeli grad. U svom umjetničkom suočavanju s društvenom traumom autor se okreće djetinjstvu i igri, alatu kojim djeca ali i odrasli spontano savladavaju nove izazove, te vedute i interijere tvornica svog rodnog grada nudi kao bojanke velikog formata. Za splitsku izložbu proširuje rad uvodeći diaprojektore, kao simbol tehnologija koje je pregazilo vrijeme, i slajdove koji se referiraju na participaciju publike u ovom projektu. Svjestan je da kolektivnu traumu, proizašlu iz povijesnog neuspjeha jednog sistema te nemogućnosti onog koji ga je naslijedio da zacijeli rane procesa tranzicije, ne može riješiti sam, autor poziva publiku na sudjelovanje, na participativno rješavanje problema. Uključujući se u rad, bojajući tvornice simbolički sudjelujemo u liječenju traume. Ali značenje rada ne staje u tom trenutku. Upravo kroz igru autor propituje aktualne odnose kulture i industrije. Igrajući se natjerani smo razmišljati o posljedicama revitalizacije industrije (u praksi često industrijske baštine) kroz kulturu, te novoj ulozi kulture uz koju se sve češće veže pojam industrije. Poznati odnosi industrije i kulture nestali su zajedno s tvornicama u procesu privatizacije. Autor predlaže kolektivnu igru kao alat spoznaje njihovih novih veza i uloga u društvu.
