Skopje Park Fun is a CEC
ArtsLink Project done with the support of press
to exit project space.
The City Park in Skopje, the Republic of Macedonia
is within walking distance from the city’s center. In the park there is a variety paths, the Vardar
river, and small artificial lakes. Skopje Park Fun aims to activate the park
during the “off season,” and frame the actions in the park in
a new way.
Artists Kristen Baumlier, Hristina Ivanoska, and Nathaniel Parsons built
and prepared a series of site-specific actions/performances which involve interaction
and the theme of navigation. The works will premiere as a special event in
the Skopje City park on Saturday December 9th in the Republic of Macedonia and will be documented on the project website.
