Sugar Democracy Residency for Architecture Students

IZOLYATSIA launches an open call for architecture students to create sugar architecture as part of the Sugar Democracy project.

Brendan Jamison and Mark Revels, artists from Northern Ireland, will create an interactive sculptural sugar installation at IZOLYATSIA. It will feature a model of the Teacher’s House in Kyiv at the centre, surrounded by sugar buildings inspired by the Suprematist architectons of Kazimir Malevich. Starting out from these iconic buildings, the project then branches out into an expanding metropolis of contemporary constructions. To create them, Brendan Jamison and Mark Revels invite group Ukrainian architecture students for a residency in Kyiv.

10 selected candidates will join the artists in creating sugar buildings for the exhibition, and starting from September 22, they will also be assisting visitors in building their own constructions until the end of the exhibition.
