The public program for Co-thinkers includes tours with each of the four collaborators behind the exhibition. Each co-thinker has chosen the format of their tour: Evgeny Lyapin will speak about his perception of the exhibition space, the figure of a man walking out of the wall, a flower made of road signs and socialist realism in Pop Art colours.
During this tour, viewers are invited to directly interact with works in the exhibition and consider what feelings each particular work and the exhibition as a whole inspire.
Evgeny Lyapin:
—Why are you coming to Co-thinkers? What do you expect to find here? Art covered in museum dust? Unquestionable art beyond critique? You will see none of that. Instead, you will be asked many questions about the visible and the invisible, about time, art, humanity, and about yourself. Who will be asking you? Cecily Brown, Antony Gormley, Maurizio Cattelan, John Miller and Cindy Sherman—artists who live the experiences of their time, anticipate new movements and invite endless interpretations and reflections. Forget everything you know, open your eyes wide, be open to new modes of perception and come on this tour.
