During our tenth and final session of “Book as an Artwork” workshop we reviewed works in progress of participant’s personal zine and artbook projects. From works in early conceptual stages and all the way to finished mockups, we commented on the work of our peers, discussed things that worked well and gave constructive suggestions.

We discussed the importance of prototyping your artbook at different stages of the process, the benefits of small and bite sized print runs, as well as editorial and design processes.

We were honored to have such a variety of talented and hardworking individuals who produces amazing artworks that we are very excited to share with you in our upcoming publications.

This program is made possible with the generous support of the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports of the Republic of Kosovo.

On the second day of “In Between | Në Mes | Dazwischen” on Saturday 15th of November, the halls of the Prishtina Bus Station were transformed by the sound and the musical performance of ZWADA.

On a cold November night many a traveler stumbled upon unexpected tunes like “Burn in Hell”, “Lady’s Eyes”, “Falma Hanën” and “Hajde puthëm”, as they found themselves in between destinations.

As the performance in Munich was going as scheduled within a moving bus, back in Prishtina we organized a metaphorical welcome with music – like triumphs of old – for the bus that would be indefinitely held “in between”.

The Prishtina-Munich link was again reinforced through “Interstitial Ghosts”, an interactive digital art installation, by Endrit Jashanica and Futur Studio, where audiences met and interacted with each other.

Special thanks to Prishtina Bus Station for the exceptional cooperation and support of the public art projects.

We kicked off “In Between | Në Mes | Dazwischen” at Prishtina Bus Station on Friday 14^th of November with “Well for Fountain”, a performance by Valdrin Thaqi and Svenja Schafer, interpreted by Klara Grapci-Gërmizaj and Art Pasha with music composed and interpreted by Viola Rrecaj. The performance took place against the backdrop of passengers rolling their luggage and buying bus tickets, in an “in between” space amidst a static audience and people in transition.

It was followed with a culinary experience by Rebeca Werkmann, that fused Kosovar and German cuisines. These “in between” delicacies epitomize through food the conceptual link between Prishtina and Munich.

While the Prishtina event, organized by StoryLab, was ongoing, the event in Munich organized by dasvinzenz, happened at the same time in the form of a series of performances inside a moving bus (which would symbolically transport the Munich audience to Prishtina).

Both events spread across time and space were brought together by “Interstitial Ghosts”, an interactive digital art installation, by Endrit Jashanica and Futur Studio, where audiences from both Prishtina and Munich could meet and interact with each other in a virtual “in between”-space.

Stay tuned for info and images from the second day of “In Between | Në Mes | Dazwischen”.
