In his presentation Vladimir Us will talk about the post-soviet urban  
space of Chisinau and the processes that led to its transformation  
after 1991. In the course of the last two decades many areas of public  
use have been demolished, abandoned, some of them privatized or  
converted to commercial areas. Having these dominating processes as a  
background, new initiatives that claim the right to use the city in a  
different way make themselves more and more visible. They open the  
possibility of creating a new public space responding to the needs of  
the local community. This process is equally led by artists,  
architects and researchers, who make use of the city as a studio and  
space where they meet and interact with the audience.

Taking the KIOSK project (http://chiosc.oberliht.com) as an example Us  
will present and explain different artistic actions and strategies  
developed by local and international artists who travelled to Chisinau  
for residency, and who through their works managed to change the  
perception of the space around us, and sometimes bring new uses to  
existing available areas in the city.
