PP3: Gallery Space/Bar Idea

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.
