Mediations of the New Blockheads Cooperative’s cell followed by a masterclass

The New Blockheads Cooperative regarded «blockheadedness» as an exaggerated way of comprehending and interacting with reality. Participants will discuss the group’s exhibits and performance documentation, before creating a viewfinder—a performative object for observing and exploring the surrounding space, devised by artist and group member Vladimir Kozin.

How to take part:

  • Advance registration and a Museum ticket are required to take part in the mediation tour of open storage.
  • Meet at the Museum information desk. Please note that if you are more than 15 minutes late, it will not be possible to join the tour.
