SPACES/ Free Spaces Project
SPACES was a three year project for artistic and cultural action in public space, taking place in Armenia, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. It lasted from December 1st 2011 – November 30st 2014 and a film was produced called ‘Free Spaces’, which shows examples of how artists can become political activists in their community spaces.
The film looks of interest but we cannot find a link to it on line. It’s been filmed in the German language. The description is:
“FREE SPACES, based on the Spaces project, shows a new image of four major Eastern European cities. Ina Ivanceanu followed artists and activists who try to regain their right to the city and their freedom of expression with wit and creativity. A cinema gets occupied, an old Soviet circus reactivated, a gloomy underground passage transformed into an ironic but glamorous arena and a factory site converted into a cultural Agora. The film shows that conditions are similar in Tbilisi (Georgia), Yerevan (Armenia), Chisinau (Moldova) – and in Kiev (Ukraine), where civil society revolts, led by artists. All actions and projects reclaim public space in artistic and innovative ways.”
The film seems to have been produced by the Amour Fou film group in Luxembourg and Vienna.
