Peter Belyi, whose work is featured in the exhibition Present Continuous, will speak about the history of the underground art scene in Leningrad and St. Petersburg, Gazanevsky culture, and his own projects.
Artist and curator Peter Belyi will trace the evolution of Leningrad/St. Petersburg underground culture from the 1974 exhibition at Gaza Palace of Culture to the present day and speak about Park of Melancholy (shown as part of the exhibition Present Continuous) and his other projects. He will discuss the unstable boundary between art practice and curating and the interconnections that create a system of mutual support, which helps develop a more objective perspective on one’s own work and also imbues curating with a subjective sensibility.
