A site specific intervention аs part of the group exhibition Sculptural, organized and partly financed by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Skopje. The text INVEST IN FUTURISM is a quotation of a gaffe uttered by the Macedonian PM on public TV stating his plans to incorporate contemporary art in their right wing populist programme and the infamous project Skopje 2014. The intervention is placed over a cement gate dating from the 1920s - an entrance to a former military compound, currently the park of the Museum. It is an extremely subversive work that makes a very subtle, but clear connection between the authoritarian regime in Macedonia at that time and the German Nazi regime.
