Katya Buchatska Artistic practices outside the gallery

As part of the IZOLYATSIA Foundation’s Educational Programme in Soledar, on 22 October at 17:00 the artist Katya Buchatska will give a lecture, Artistic practices outside the gallery. The lecture will be dedicated to two art movements which are created and exist beyond the limits of the gallery. Together with the lecturer, participants will look at global examples of land art (art created in concert with nature) and public art (art in urban space). The next day, 23 October from 9:00 until 13:00, there will be a practical activity and walk, during which participants will search out possible manifestations of public art in the city or their absence, and they will also try to create land art over the course of the walk.
