Freeingspace identifies the concept of freedom and ethics as discursive trajectory of architecture and space. The title itself embraces a double meaning: besides the one that sees freeing as an active form, or an act of operation, the prefix freeing- as an adjective describes and defines a space that sets free, indicating the immanent potential of space to create a sense of freedom. Freeingspace is a story of liberating publicness and reclaiming the spatial unity of the city through architectural means. In the framework of the unsolicited call for ideas, key built interventions of recent construction activity encoded Skopje 2014 are being reviewed in distinctive fragments, contrary to the imposed comprehensive tendency to solidify space. The exhibition takes formation of four singular entities as informational solid that juxtapose memory, perception and representation of space. In such a multitude of meanings Freeingspace finds itself as a conceptual prosthesis, future-fragment that transcends repulsive contradictions by means of re-thinking instead of erasing.
