16:00 “Ako umram il zaginam”- Art Brut (Serbia) + Multimedia center (Macedonia) / A drawing performance workshop / Public theatre
A drawing performance workshop, by Goran Stojcetovic from the Art Brut collective and the members of Multimedia. All participants, using spontaneous lines, scraps and handwriting, with music and informal mutual communication, during the festival will be creating a drawing to reflect the harmony in all the similarities and differences in opinions, emotions and attitudes. The “Deep drawing” method that is defined by Goran in 2015 and is applied by a team of Doctors of medicine in the psychiatric clinic, by the Military-medicine Academy in Belgrade, as with participants in open workshops in the Remount gallery in Belgrade, succeeds in a very fruitful psychologically-artistic expression , unites the art and psychology on the Balcans.
Multimedia center Gevgelija is an organization formed in 2007, by painters. The main goal of the organization is development and promotion of the cultural and artistic events with various actions, rise the public opinion about art and intercultural dialogue, using the enormous power of art through its media, to make changes in our society without violence.

19:30 “Recollections” – Igor Toshevski (Macedonia) /Installation/ Public theatre
The installation is a kind of a cross section of the artists work, including a few of his key projects, such as the series of collages Topologies
(2018) exhibits for the first time in Macedonia. The center of his interests are borders, that Toshevski recognizes as ideological structures. The lines that mark certain space disappear , move with ease and get replaced, as in our own freedom of movement, creation and perception. And that is why, maybe this installation represents the humans of today, in search of himself – identity packed in a suitcase, variable, irregular.
20:00 “Sito I besno” – Matijarsija (Serbia)/ exhibition/ Public theatre
The In situ technique experiments are marked by lots of artists gathered in the Autonomous cultural center Matrijarsija and Fijuk network. The experiments are done without the usual preparation (technically), without plan and with reprinting method. Through the “lack of respect” for the rules of this graphic technique, these rules become obvious and naked. Each of this graphics is followed by certain hedonism that comes from the self contiguousness for the disrespect od the graphical procedures. This experiment don’t exist separated from the creative process, they don’t exist as a final painting. They are an exceptional trace in the material world by painting, composition and color. The composing process is momentary and visible. The predictability if ever possible, happens between the parts of the in-situ process, the lowering of the press, the pulling of the color and lifting the screen. That is why this works are followed by certain brutality and rawness, that is seen in the visual effect, the impossibility of a simple separation of all the layers and their relations. Recto vs verso, calf on forehead, liver on head, black on white, fragment on fragment. Experiments naturally contain some arrogance. When from the painting that has been created with layering fragments, you deduct a fragment and then later, incorporate it with other deducted fragments/wholes, each remains reaching out to it, but also rejecting it, while finding new contemplates.
Without authorization, no real copyrights, no questions, no arrangements, no manners. And the best of all, with no authors. Are the experiments the moments when a handyman becomes an artist? Or it is a zone where this question completely looses it’s meaning? This works have started their public exposure in the Halle Saint Piere museum in Paris 2017.
