“Solidarity to overcome distance – Tårnby (DK), Skopje (MK) and the summit”
Text by Andreas Liebmann
Skopje was not on my inner landscape before 2017 when I first talked on Skype with Biljana Tanurovska. I was preparing the „European Summit – Art, Politics and the Institution“ that Zeitraumexit and Jan Philip Possmann had invited me to organize in September 2017.

“After the Art Spaces and Residences Summit: some thoughts”
Text by Milica Ilic
1.
Once again, Skopje feels so easy to comprehend. I have never spent a lot of time there and in fact, don’t know the city well. Like in many other places I’ve been to, I’m incapable of finding my way and have on my mental map only very few references of local places and faces to feel connected to. In fact, in reality, it is just one of those places that a conference or a festival brings me to for two or three days, on very rare occasions.

“My experience with artist in residency programs”
Text by Oliver Musovik
“Artist in Residency programs provide artists with time and space away from their home environment, where one can reflect, conduct research, and investigate new works or means of production.

“On the art spaces and residencies summit”
Text by Slobodanka Stevceska
I was invited to this gathering as an artist who works in the context of the Republic of North Macedonia and has already participated in quite a number of residencies. As a contribution to that, I would briefly drop my experiences and reflections on the existing models of artist in residency programs.

Reflections on the Art spaces and Residence Summit, Kino Kultura, Skopje, December 2019
Let me start with an introduction to the events that took place in Copenhagen during the days of our summit. I hope it will be productive to share this with you since I feel that I went through a steep learning curve during those days. The summit was an eye-opener to me, but so was a pending shit storm, which was a growing threat to the survival of Trampoline House.
