Susak expo

Encyclopedia : S : SU : SUS : Susak expo

Susak Expo 2006 is not an exhibition. It is, however, a circumstance, a situation and an event entitled 'Extended Platforms: no plans, just a time and place'.

What happens when you put in place a structure that has all the potentiality for art to be made but at the same time has no expectations and leaves all outcomes open? Thirty-two artists will be transported to the remote island of Susak, where they will have the opportunity to make art that responds to actual and social geographies.

Those involved will consider site, situation and the people they are with. Examined through the looking glass, Susak will become a platform enabling all the different elements to combine, thus contextualising the whole event into a composition, while actually providing an unusual place to make real art. As much as it is a place, Susak Expo is a concept that aims to discover the social imagination and provide an escape from margins of the studio and city.
