| Mock-Up for logo |
One of my future considerations for expanding the art
culture in Macedonia is through opening a creative space/bar, which would be
one of a kind in Skopje for the time being. Many of my friends are staying in
Skopje post-graduation, three of which are very interested in such a proposal
for their future investment. One of them is my cousin who studies economics and
business, perfectly fit to put his studies into use through opening up an
establishment. In order for the freelance art scene to reach its post-modern
peak, enabling a lot of digital artists to easily sustain their practice within
the country, I believe that platforms for promotion need to be created, hence
the exhibition/bar space. Taking advantage of Macedonia’s jovial drinking culture,
the bar would more likely attract people to an exhibition when it is associated
not with white perforated walls and cheap wine in a frenzy, but with a
lively, organic atmosphere splattered with vivacious colors and culture. I’ve
already made a mock-up design for the logo to try and capture the vibe with the
name “The Four Gems” that we all agreed can be fitting for the space. At every
exhibition of young artists I’ve been to there has been a deficit of people and
enthusiasm, for the modern human needs a lot of versatile stimuli in order to
engage with artistry and not perceive it as a pretentious façade. This project
would go into action a year after I graduate in order for my partners to
graduate as well and invest themselves into this idea full-time. Lastly, I am
perfectly aware that this is not going to be a definite realization, however,
all of us will do our best to try and manifest this bar into being.
