Kunsthalle Wien Podcast: Yane Calovski & Hristina Ivanoska
We had an in-depth conversation with the North Macedonian artist duo Yane Calovski & Hristina Ivanoska on their work for the exhibition No Feeling Is Final. The Skopje Solidarity Collection. For their installation All Things Flowing they picked seemingly contrasting works from the collection of MoCA Skopje by two very influential North Macedonian artists – Aneta Svetieva and Dushan Perchinkov. They reacted to this choice with two new works of their own to explore the local art history and to reimagine the story of MoCA Skopje in an essayistic way.

Trailer Ancestral Clouds Ancestral Claims
The artist duo Denise Ferreira da Silva and Arjuna Neuman’s exhibition is centred around the coproduction and presentation of a new work: Ancestral Clouds Ancestral Claims. Parts of the film were shot in the Atacama Desert, the place with the clearest and driest air on the planet and home to the world’s largest radio telescope, which observes the skies. Against this backdrop, the film probes an alternative experience of the world that, rather than primarily seeing, overlooking, and enlightening, is guided by other senses and practices.
