Artsvit Gallery announces the residency "Hey, My Name is Land Art" dedicated to exploring the relationship between art and the environment.
The program is designed for artists who seek to expand their creative toolkit, work beyond institutional spaces, and explore the possibilities of artistic expression through engagement with natural and urban environments.
Throughout the residency, participants will explore the history and theory of land art, environmental art, site-specific practices, and other approaches that engage with place, landscape, and context. Particular attention will be given to the Ukrainian environmental art, local land art communities, and contemporary approaches to working with space.
Alongside theoretical sessions, the program includes practical work in the urban environment of Dnipro. Parks, public gardens, the embankment, Monastyrskyi Island, and the inner courtyard of DCCC will serve as sites for observation, research, and the realization of participants’ artistic ideas.
Residency mentors:
Natalia Lisova — artist, art historian, researcher of Ukrainian land art, and founder of the Land Art School.
Svitlana Koshelieva — artist and cultural manager working with land art, graphic art, and photography.
