Since 2003, TinT gallery has collaborated with other cultural insdtudons such as the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art, the Museum of Cinematography and the Museum of Photography etc, organizing off site projects and large-­‐scale cultural events. TinT gallery launched its Project room during 2004, a specially designated exhibidon space, where young ardsts are given the opportunity to experiment with in situ installadons within a non-­‐profit gallery seƒng. Together with group exhibidons undertaken by independent curators, the gallery has accommodated since 2007, several autonomous teams of ardsts. The outcome has been a series of highly intriguing exhibidons. In his work, the installadon endtled Anemic Archives, Christos Veneds draws by playing a game between the modon and wridng of the images, their reading and interpretadon. The work’s dtle is a joining of the terms “The Anomic Archive” (the well known ardcle by Benjamin Buchloh for the work Atlas by G. Richter) and “Anemic Cinema” (work by M. Duchamp). Lined up in a row, his 'animated' drawings, albeit fragmented, create a lively narradve. Both the subjects of 'bare life' he chooses to draw and the bare backs of books, i.e. the point where the content is violently removed for the sake of flow and union of the "film", intensify the cognidve lawlessness of Vened's images and add drama to his narradon.
