Filip Jovanovski (b. 1979), is a professional associate at the Faculty of Architecture UKIM – Skopje and teaches acourse in Scenography as an expert from practice at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts – Ss. Cyril and Methodius in Skopje.

With his pronounced interdisciplinary approach, Filip explores different media and their interdisciplinary connection – architecture, visual art, theater, video, film and spatial installations. The most common means of his artistic expression are spatial – performative interventions in public space. He explores artistic expression and potential in the field of scenography, thus far creating about 30 scenographies for theater projects. Filip has had over 15 solo exhibitions and presentations in North Macedonia and abroad, and participated in over 40 group exhibitions.

He creates long-term socially engaged art projects, which are based on research and often in collaboration with different communities. In his projects, he tries to expose the hidden mechanisms of dominant positions of power, which lead to the destruction of public space and the public in general, while deconstructing and encouraging different alternatives to capitalist living. His works are transformations of political and social categories into spatial images. He often uses public space for his works or creates it, in addition to unconventional and alternative exhibition spaces.

His project “This building talks (truly)” curated by Ivana Vaseva, which represented the Republic of North Macedonia at the Prague Quadrennial for Performance, Design and Space in 2019, was awarded the main prize “Golden Triga.”
