TICA LAUNCHES THE THEMATIC APPROACH FOR AIRLAB 2013
PARTICIPATION – PARTICIPATORY PRACTICES AS ARTISTIC STRATEGY
Participatory art – the approach to art-making in which the audience is engaged directly in the creative process, allowing them to become co-authors, editors, and observers of the work – is one of the main developments in contemporary art today. These practices are incomplete without the viewer’s physical interaction, with its main intent to challenge the dominant form of making art.
DON´T MISS: IT’S NOT GALLERY / NUK ESHTE GALERI

IT’S NOT GALLERY
Address/Place: Industri at Tirana e re, close to sheshi Wilson
It’s Not Gallery is a joint production between Industri and T.I.C.A – Tirana Institute of Contemporary Art. The inspiration comes from a desire to start a new “space” where art is not used for decorative purposes – attribute of the usual coffee bar in Tirana – but rather to grasp the attention of the monotone coffee drinker with notable and surprising details. It aims to open a “channel” of thought and reflection into the sleepy minds or lethargic conversations. It’s Not a Gallery not only “assists” the artist with a new platform to exhibit his/her work but transcends into the traditional exhibition boundaries by pulling the art from the gallery borders and placing it into a direct contact with the public. Through It’s Not A Gallery series, Industri will be hosting new art installations and contemporary artistic events on quarterly basis. In coordination with TICA, Industri will be accompanying the events with a sequence of talks, presentations or performances from the artists.
The first edition of It’s Not Gallery presents parts of the installation of Sadik Spahia "Under Pressure" and the trilogy "Architecture of Sadness" from Ermela Teli. This edition is curated by Edi Muka.
