10 year anniversary publication

We are preparing a publication for our 10 year anniversary. Temporary and slow as we have been as a space for cultural exchange and spatial experimentation and being, we would like to mark this occasion with a collection of durational public moments, texts, photographs, concrete poetry etc.

We have now received a generous collection of writings from participants: spatial offerings, family photos, messages & gestures from around the world.

A heartfelt thank you.

If anyone is able to support this publication please click the PayPal link below. Any trouble please email me directly at kkotov@uca.ac.uk.

Publication date: Spring 2020 (we did not make this date as you may notice). We are though exhibiting a wee exhibition with kind and generous support from Tauragnas Regional Museum as our first public moment of works from these years.

did they really say that?...

We are all back to civilization, missing the lovely week at our village though!! :) Thank you for everything. It was amazing.
Neda (2012 UAL MA ISD)

Thanks for the awesome trip! UCA was amazing! Made a lot of memories and the experience was priceless!
Hope to visit you all again sometime in the near future.
John (Erasmus UCA-CSA Sydney 2012)

I just wanted to say thank you. Summer School was so interesting, it was a really good opportunity for me. I’m still seeing the pictures of workshop. I already miss the barn, kitchen, shower (definitely outside one!..I regret why I used it just once.) and sofia, spyros, lewis…all of them!!

Although I was bitten by too many mosquitoes and fell down the drain, it might be an unforgettable memory…and I washed my pants twice! I think it’s enough..:) Also, you always tried to take care of us.! Probably as you know, in my country, teachers don’t do any hard work for student. So, I felt bad whenever I saw you tanned back…:( Thanks a lot!!
