10 More Sculptures Installed in Skopje’s Centre
14 April 2009 | Ten more sculptures were installed around Skopje’s centre on Sunday, as part of the initiative to change the city’s image.
The most recent ten sculptures are part of the total of 34 works by 26 Macedonian authors that that will grace the city’s streets and squares as public art. They include “Bull” by Darko Dukovski, “Heeey” by Dimitar Filipovski, “Masks” by Risto Stankovski, “Shoe Cleaner” by Elena Dukovska, “Beggar” by Natasa Buzarova, “Woman with a Guitar” by Sinisa Novevski, “Infinite Circulation” and “Energy Transfer” by Sasho Sazdovski, “Ballerina” by Zoran Toshevski, “Cosmo Integral 2008” by Antoni Maznevski.
As BalkanTravellers.com reported, the initiative began in January with the installation of four sculptures. At that time, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Culture Anita Yovanoska explained, “The goal is to beautify the city and give it the image of a genuine metropolis. Compared to European and world metropolises, Skopje is a city with few sculptures.”
It is expected that the remaining public art works will be put in by the end of the year, as the 26 sculptors have different deadlines to complete them, depending on the material, size and difficulty of creating the pieces.
