 The title says it all. Space is not a given that exists on its own,
but
instead something that must be continually renegotiated in the wake of the
heterogeneous production of spaces by means of positioning and intervention.
This implies the possibility that space figures as something entirely
different in each case and, thus, that the historicity of space and possible
spatial arrangements will become conceivable and visually accessible. In
this context it is one of the great paradoxes that the subversion, which
accompanies it, seldom takes effect in obscurity, but is instead usually
executed in the form of a public commission.

Post-Soviet countries, in particular, are currently experiencing a phase of
transition and redistribution. The climate is marked by revision, on the one
hand, and by reorientation, on the other. Due to this exceptional situation,
artists now see increasing chances for state and private cultural
institutions in Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Russia and Uzbekistan
to employ art in public spaces as an initial spark for the development of
civil society and of new artistic approaches. This is the point of departure
for the *SPACE for SPACE* project. The possibilities of disrupting the
previously valid divisions within a segmented public – along with the
corresponding distribution of the visible and invisible, the feasible and
infeasible – through artistic intervention are to be jointly explored in
this project.

* SPACE for SPACE* is a processual multi-phase project currently being
initiated and logistically supported by the Goethe-Institut in Eastern
Europe and Central Asia. It will be taking place in Almaty, Yerevan,
Kaliningrad, Minsk, Novosibirsk, Tashkent, Tiflis and Uljanovsk.

The preliminary phase is based on joint discussions of art in public space,
visual-spatial materialisation, and intercultural exchange. It is being
conceived for the eight locations largely by the artistic director *Petra
Reichensperger* with important positions added by the local project managers
*Akbar Khakimov, Oleg Bogdanov, Anna Gor, Ludmila Ivashina, Eva Khachatryan,
Yulija Sorokina, Olga Tatosyan, Nino Tchogoshvili* and *Pavel Wojnizkij.

Susanne Altmann, Kamola Akilov, Ruben Arevshatyan, Vardan Azatyan, Friedrich
von Borries, Anna Gor, Nazareth Karoya, Khatuna Khabuliani, Akbar Khakimov,
Alexander Kotlomanow, Betlemi Mikrorayon, Dirck Möllmann, Alisa Prudnikowa,
Petra Reichensperger, Heinz Schütz,Yulija Sorokina, Gio Sumbadze, Vera
Tollmann, Olesya Turkina, Nata Vatsadze* and *Pawel Wojnizkij* will present
artistic strategies of appropriating space, report on the general paradoxes
of art in public space, and thereby reflect specific cultural contexts.
Thematic workshops for artists will be offered by *Marc Bijl, Tamara Grcic,
Daniel Knorr, Ulrike Mohr, Olaf Nicolai, Christoph Schäfer, Suse Weber* and
*Georg Zey* for *inges idee*.

After conducting round table discussions, seminars, and workshops, an open
call for art in public space is planned for local artists in some of the
locations in Eastern Europe and Central Asia next year. The project
proposals that are submitted will be subsequently presented to the public
and awarded prizes by an international jury. The award recipients from the
open competition will be given the opportunity to enter into an exchange
with other artists and initiators of art in public space during a tour
through Germany.

In addition to initiating spaces for possibilities, an important goal is to
transform many of the nominated project proposals into spaces of sensory
experience in conjunction with local decision makers. Which artistic
projects can be successfully realised will not least of all depend upon the
local approval process. Thus, we come full circle back to the tense,
exciting and – according to the diagnosis made at the outset – paradoxical
field in which public art and art in public space operates.
