Margina in Tocka



Tocka also meant finally a shelter for the nomadic half-real half-visible spirit called Margina.

Not only during the opening (followed by Igor Toshevski's exhibition, Transfers, and with the promotive words by the architect /of inner and outer worlds/ Mitko Hadzi-Pulja and of the editor /of uncertain orbital worlds that constantly escape i.e. the controller and the observer of the electronic clashes/ Nikola Gelevski), but years ago, and the whole period behind - the debates about the key questions endure among us.

For example: Is the body of Margina only a magazine or, embodiment happens through the place where Margina works, where people match and mix their energies?!

In one of our discussions in Tocka the theory of transsupstantiality gave a possible way out which partly calmed down the hot dilemmas that have their strategic, political aesthetic and moral implication.

For example: does Margina establish itself, institutionalizes itself and formalizes itself "finding out its body"?

During our discussions, the settling of the fluid wanderer (on which forehead, as if it were Golem, is written, maybe tattooed - Margina) was greeted, with a little cation, and a new phase was announced in the modest muddy-sculptural Odyssey. But more than the care for Margina itself, the need for existence of Tocka was stressed and welcomed, as a shelter where the margins, understood in the widest possible sense, which means very paradoxical and often contradictory sense, should come together.

In a way, the key words of these new phase of acting of Margina, of Templum, of the NGO Kontrapunkt and of cultural center Tocka are: interference and confluence of the Margins. The context now is more complex, more factors are involved, more different actors, more people and more obligations and responsibilities.
