In the frame of Brisbane/Slovenia collaboration KOLEKTIVA invites Vegas Spray to cooperate with us on a new project in the frame of our platform Special Place in the City.
Special Place in the City is a platform for artistic research conserning people, stories and places. The project started in 2004 and is growing ever since. The main guidelines of the platform are to explore relations between an individual, a space and a city, examining why a place could be special to someone and what prompts an individual to perceive a place differently. We chart new emotional maps and discover locations which people sense intimately. Inhabitants of various cities are asked to present their special place and tell its story, regardless of whether it is positive or negative. Stories of individuals provide a new or different reading of places, and uncover multiple meanings created by the experience and memories of the inhabitants.
