Ten artists from Russia and Europe are invited to participate in a virtual residency project organized by EUNIC in St. Petersburg in partnership with SPAR – the St. Petersburg Artists Residency. The project aims to foster international cultural exchange by providing opportunity for artistic collaboration.
The city: artistic image and social practice These days, more than half of the planet´s population lives in cities. Whatever the future holds: The way we will live tomorrow will largely depend on how city life is changing today and how it will develop in times of global crises. Artists are among those who sense those changes very clearly. They transform their vision into "images", and at times work in social or participatory formats in the midst of our societies. What does their visual practice look like, and what can we learn from their social practice? These questions will guide a collaborative digital exhibition to be prepared on the basis of a virtual residency, the "Virtual Artists´ Assembly" (VITAA). VITAA, along with the exhibition-to-be, will be curated by Anastasia Patsey who manages the SPAR project and who is part of the curatorial team at the artists-run space "Puschkinskaya10".
