Saturday, 4.11.2006, at 8:00 p.m. as part of the Lectures, Presentations and Exhibitions programme,
press to exit project space is inviting you to the Independent Drawing Gig (IDG) Vol. 2- a group exhibition of drawings and live performance by Linas Jablonskis and Dainius Liskevicius at the Museum of Contemporary Art – Skopje.
The exhibition moves to the new space of press to exit project space (Vasil Gjorgov 28/4) and remains on view from November 11th – December 1st, 2006.
Independent Drawing Gig (IDG) is an initiative of Vilnius-based artist Linas Jablonskis meant to signify an “energy infused” event fusing non-traditional drawings and the independent music scene. By bringing together the creative and emotive link that exists between drawing and music, incorporating aspects of story telling, lyricism, energy and attitude, the completeness of gesture and intent, IDG inspires a fresh experience of images and sound.
The inaugural IDG Vol.1 was held in Vilnius in the fall of 2005 and the third edition will take place
in The Hague in 2007.
IDG Vol.2 will include the work of a larger group of artists working with drawing, animation and music, and it will also function as a launch-platform to the new issues of D (www.dmagazine.org), edited by Yane Calovski) and FUKT (www.fukt.de), edited by Berlin-based artist Bjorn Heagart). Both of these publications focus on the vast filed and challenging notion of contemporary drawing as a practice and a medium.
The program of IDG Vol. 2 includes:
