Opening times Bar Europa: Thursday till Saturday, 20.00 – 23.00
Finissage: Saturday December 12, 20 – 23 Following: Grande Finale!

How do Artists look at Europe? Is there something like a European dream? And is there a European consciousness? In the second part of shows about Europe Petersburg Project Space presents videoworks from international artists who explore and represent their visions of Europe from different angles.

The starting point of this show was inspired by a text written by Wim Wenders who argues for more recognition of the power of images as a means to create a European consciousness and a European soul. Just as the American dream is built by images a vision of Europe should not just be tied to political and economical questions, but also to feelings, places and memories.

Every week a new series of works will be screened in the evening, and the space is therefore transformed to “Bar Europa”. Check our website regularly for this weeks program.

The permanent context of the show is formed by an installation by architect Michel Heesen en photographer Hans Stakelbeek who form the duo Kaal&Kammen. In an old Mercedes they drove from Vardø (Barents Sea) to Sitia (Kreta) on the E75, de longest European highway in North-South direction. The E-networks is Europe’s counterpart of the American interstate highways and once served as a means to promote the kinship between the different countries.
‘E-75 European Highway’ is a time document, a snapshot of a rapidly changing route.



The show starts on november 14 till november 21 with:
‘Project which is not a Project’ by Slobodanka Stevceska & Denis Saraginovski who form the artists collective OPA from Macedonia.



A hybrid of documentary and fiction. Biographical material and documentation of an art performance -- three years journey by a 40 years old car. A couple, the authors, travels throughout Europe. The car holds the metaphor of the recent political state of Macedonia, and the Macedonian great hope of joining the EU. Europe becomes set of an art performance while the artists and the audience switch their roles.
