Insider Guide to Macedonia’s Contemporary Art Scene

During the international JournArt conference in Ohrid (Macedonia), where Artyčok.TV participated in a panel discussion, we managed to shoot an interview with freelance curator Elena Veljanovska. 

In the report, the young activist describes her own projects. We also asked her about the state of the contemporary visual art scene in Macedonia and about what projects are worth visiting (press to exit project space http://www.presstoexit.org.mk, kontrapunkt http://www.kontrapunktmk. org, lokomotiva http://www. lokomotiva.org.mk). Finally, Elena summarizes the possibilities for artistic activity in this young country.
