From Biennal to Biennal through Adriatic sea and the Balcan


JOURNEY TO Ext Venezia-Sarajevo-Tirana-Salonicco
(by STALKER)


A journey of listening to a changing, fragmented and offended territory.

An itinerary through the Balkans in the occasion of the Venice, Sarajevo and Tirana Biennial Art Exhibits, which to us became sites of reception, opportunity of encounters and exchange between artists and civil society, beyond the ideological and political barriers which cross this racked region. A unique occasion to point out to artists and cultivated men a pathway along which art could contribute to "recover and rebound those ancient submerged ropes, broken or wrenched by ignorance and intolerance".
(Matvejevic)

A trip under the shade of the Flying Carpet, an ideal open port between Mediterranean’s seashore, a sphere of encounter and interchange, a half-breed and a migrant, an ear devoted to listening to the territory it crosses and to the stories it meets.

The Flying Carpet represents to them a laic peace altar.

An extraterritorial space, round which to gather, build and imagine the history, reality and possibilities of a common identity on the Mediterranean seashores.

A great listening "ear" walking about the Mediterranean, collecting stories, be it ancient or contemporary, of cultural exchanges and crossings,.

A "tent" spanning the Mediterranean, under which to let meet those people whose art, sensitiveness and culture, are still available to listen, to face the "other", even when he or she seems irretrievably too close and too different.

These stories will progressively animate the network of a "common territory". A "Virtual Mediterranean", a freely accessible sphere, where to collect stories of the cultural crossings witnessed by this Sea.

The intention is to animate a net of sensory knots, sited within the civil societies of the different Mediterranean Nations, their interconnection will be possible thanks to the Flying Carpet’s journey in the Mediterranean.

The process of constructing such sphere will be undertaken by a research structure, animated by Stalker Laboratory, which we called the "Nomad University".
