On the occasion of 2nd Balkan Architecture Biennale, association Kolektiv, together with Biennale organizers, announces an open call for concept, design and production of space installation(s) and/or the setting in the gallery Kolektiv.
Authors are expected to give personal and individual interpretation of Balkan cultural diversity elements, and to reassess its characteristics through innovative implementation in space shaping. Spatial installation should be made predominantly of wood as the main construction material. All participants are encouraged to embrace the character of the exhibition gallery space as an opportunity to produce and make, rather than describe or present the project.
Due to changes in economy and ideology, identity in Balkan countries is under reassessment. This state creates opportunity for reinvention, rethinking and redefinition of ideas and concepts in architecture that are in its fundaments.
