ABOUT THE PROJECT
This collaboration was initiated by South into North together with the museum’s curatorial department, as part of our ongoing advisory and curatorial work for Kvadrat. 

In Ru Halilaj presents a number of new video works, several large textile sculptures, and an extensive environment that draws on his research on the flight patterns and habitats of migratory birds.

Continuing his exploration into lost, concealed and repurposed histories, Petrit Halilaj’s new multifaceted installation RU explores stories and objects connected to a Neolithic settlement beneath his birth village of Runik. The results of an archeological dig in the town uncovered 505 objects that comprise part of the country’s most significant material history from the period.

OUR ROLE
South into North’s role in this project is part of our work consulting Kvadrat on their collaborations with artists and art institutions internationally.
