The aim of this art talk is to familiarize the local audience with some of the selected regional artists for the newest iteration of the project Scanning the Region, entitled “Visibility Horizon”: Elia Kalogianni from Greece, Sofia Dimova from Bulgaria and Valdrin Thaqi from Kosovo. The concept of the exhibition deals with the post-truth politics and manipulative mainstream media which usually form and frame the visibility horizons in the contemporary world in different levels. The art talk, on the other side, will dig deeply into the personal horizons of the artists, their approach to the particular topic, as well as their art interests in general, presenting some of their most important past projects. Almost all of the artists are leaving on a line between two centers, their own country and some European city. So, is their art transnational (according to Osborne), or their works still bear some local contexts?
