Prostor

Since 2012 the exhibition space at Soteska 8 is called Prostor and it is run by the Festival of Love and Art Society (FLU) and Studio 8, a non-profit multicultural interdisciplinary art organization.

Prostor is an exhibition space that is not narrowly specialised for presenting artworks in certain medium or with specific theme so it welcomes everyone, including less established artists. The gallery is led by Dime Temkov who aims to create a friendly environment with coffee and wireless internet for visitors to hang out among the artworks. Beside exhibitions Prostor also hosts other events such as poetry readings, books presentations etc., and the director of Studio 8 Damjana Lavrič is leading various art workshops.


Exhibitions

The new gallery was opened with Trio Inside outside, the last exhibition by the TukadMUNGA members Iskra Beličanska, Vladimir Leben and Joao Paulo Nasri who presented their work in February 2012. Later artworks by Dime Temkov, Aleksander Nišević, Paola Korošec and Vladimir Leben were on display, Art of Kavadarci – an exhibition by Macedonian artists in May and a photographic exhibition by Siniša Rankov in July. The same month there was also a documentary exhibition Ujeta Sajeta where were some artworks, sculpture by Dušan Gerlica for instance, documentary photographs of workshops and video documentation of past festivals Sajeta were presented.

Background

The space at Soteska 8 had been used for artistic events (open studios, workshops) even before the formal establishment of the gallery TukadMUNGA that was opened in May 2009 with the exhibition Animal Kingdom by Vladimir Leben. The name TukadMunga - a river that runs upstream was in relation to the alternative policy of the gallery which was informally also known as Soteska.

TukadMunga was an art gallery that hosted exhibitions, educational projects, literature gatherings, workshops and lectures and welcomed everyone, including young and less established artists. It was founded in by Iskra Beličanska, Vladimir Leben and Joao Paulo Nasri and was active from 2009 to 2011 as the main project of Studio 8.

In January 2012 the exhibition space was renovated with the profit of an art market organised in the gallery in December 2011 by Festival of Love and Art and with the renovation a new gallery– Prostor was established.
