UNCOVERED Nicosia International Airport Book 1. 2013. Eds. Basak Senova and Pavlina Paraskevaidou. Phileleftheros Publishing Group, Nicosia.It is the book of the UNCOVERED Nicosia International Airport project. The project was initiated in 2010, based on Cypriot artist Vicky Pericleous’s idea for an artistic intervention at Nicosia International Airport, subsequently submitted as a proposal to the UNDP by Özgül Ezgin and Argyro Toumazou in parallel to the peace-negotiations process. Following the initial state with the UN, as two curators, we – Basak Senova and Pavlina Paraskevaidou – were asked to work collaboratively on this project for 2011. After a research and working period of six months, we have developed a long-term research-based art and media project which has input and goals further than the initial idea. In this respect, by acknowledging the UN initiation and their support for the first exhibition, the project articulates itself through three terms – “memory construction,” “commons,” and “control mechanisms” – forming the conceptual springboard for the project, which begins by developing a space of encounter for cultural producers from across the divided island.
