--------

COME AND VISIT the Provisional Future. Join in and observe, participate, discuss, relax, take notes and look around. It’s like a real city!

No one thinks the future will be shiny and rosy, but what will the future cities look like? We have gone to some of the most significant places in the new Europe to see further into the future then many have yet been able to do!

Together we will walk into the unknown, the fantastic, the commonplace!

Jelena, Bojan and DusanAlessandro and VahidaSkopje summitPeter, Claudia, Laia Under this months’ simmering heat, about 28 participants gathered in Skopje for the second-in-line of Building Lost Highway workshops. Aim of the meeting was to draft entries to the Lexicon of Provisional Future(s); entries that come from or are being inspired by the so called ‘Western Balkans’. Previous to the meeting, the participants’ five teams travelled for three or more days towards Skopje, experiencing different routes, stories and cities to support their lexicon entries.

The trips included a travel along the edges of Macedonia, a ferry rides from Italy to Montenegro and Croatia and further detouring to Macedonia, a north - south Serbia section, to all in the end converge at Skopje summit on 17 and 18 July 2007. The summit was co-organised by Press to Exit and held in the beautiful XVI century Kurshumli An (Leaded Caravanserai) where Centre for Contemporary Art of Skopje is housed. Deep shades of this heavy stone building saved us from overheat and sun blast with over 40C!

From 14-16 July five parallel mobile mini conferences will move from a starting point somewhere in the Western Balkans, to arrive to Skopje for a two days summit on 17-18 July. Investigating the locally emerging concepts and speculating their impact on a wider context, their input will be brought together at this summit. The 'moving conferences' are formed by teams of artists, architects and theoreticians who will be contributing to the Lexicon for the Future. The teams self-organise their trip and stay during their travel, which means they can decide to spiral around, make a de-tour, or stay in one city to make a dense set of meetings (>).
