Art collecting — hobby or science? Workshop by Victoria Nikitina on the Artsvit gallery collection as part of a children's art programme

Tomorrow, participants in the youth course ‘About Art Here and Now’ will embark on an exciting journey to the Artsvit gallery’s storage facility. Our collection curator, Viktoria Nikitina, will be their guide to the world of art.

At the workshop, teenagers will learn how works of art are preserved, get acquainted with the works of artists, and see with their own eyes the various artistic techniques that masters use to embody their ideas in works of art. We will talk about the phenomenon of collecting and its exciting experience.

You can register for the workshop at this link: https://forms.gle/5WJcaQY2xtDHLxp18 — we look forward to seeing you!

WHEN: 2 December 2023, at 16:00

Viktoria Nikitina has been working at the Artsvit Gallery since its opening in 2013. She is the curator of the gallery's collection, responsible for its formation and replenishment with new works by Ukrainian artists. She previously worked at the Kvartira Art Centre and the Nash magazine. Together with Kultura Medialna, she organised the charity auction ‘Buy art to support Ukraine’, where Ukrainian graphics from the Artsvit collection were sold to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The authors and teachers of the project are Alina Stefan, Ksenia Romashchenko, Yulia Grishina, Oleksandra Shovkun, and Polina Rode-Fuyor.

Funding is provided by the Stabilisation Fund for Culture and Education 2023, the German Federal Foreign Office, and the Goethe-Institut.

The Open Call for Residency in Performative Practices

Together with the residency curator, Waldemar Tatarczuk, we propose to explore performance as an intermedial method of artistic practice — one that allows for experimental approaches to creative processes where action, time, presence, and lived experience become the material.

We welcome applications from performers, theatre practitioners, and people open to collective experimentation with backgrounds in visual arts, contemporary music, DJing, generative media, writing, drag, and other artistic disciplines.
