1.60insurgent space

Brief description

An artistic project that organises exhibitions and events in public spaces with local and international artists in Albania.

Significant features

It is born out of the idea of art as creation and diffusion of cooperative practices having a constant interaction with the space where they have been conceived.

Project description

1.60insurgent space is the name of a space that moves continuously around Albania's cities, creating new paradigms around art and its boundaries. The exhibitions are programmed in Tirana and curated every month by Stefano Romano and a different curator.

Questions everything, including itself, and appears as an alternative to the institutions, as an investigation/intervention that consumes itself and disappears; as an investigation/intervention that originates other ones, other insurgent spaces. The insurgent space is a space for citizenship, lacking permanence, thus is why it has the characteristic of being occasional.

The project that began in January 2005 will end after 20 months and 47 shows realised, in which have participated 59 Albanian and international artists and curators, that during these years have produced site specific art works in different locations of Tirana, animating continuously the Albanian art scene reflecting about the idea of art outside institutional spaces.

It is supported by European Cultural Foundation.
