DESCRIPTION

Artists for Children is a series of monthly meetings with contemporary artists that was launched in 2016.

At the meetings children and their parents will not only learn about the work of contemporary artists but can also work with them and become co-authors. 

In the new season of Artists for Children the meetings will be in two parts. First the artists will talk about themselves and the subjects of their work, and during the creative part they will share one of the techniques they work with. 

Accessible to people with and without disabilities. At the meeting there will be teachers who know Russian Sign Language and also have the skills to work with blind visitors and visitors with developmental disabilities. 

HOW TO TAKE PART

Free admission with advance registration.

Schedule

Meeting with Artist Dasha Malinova

Dasha will show her ink drawings, talk about the themes she explores in her practice, and demonstrate several ways of working with ink and a quill.

One of her favorite techniques is drawing on wet paper: paper changes color when it gets wet and once again when it dries out, and the artist cannot always predict where the line will be blurry and where it will remain fine. The process of drawing is therefore close to natural processes and involves a lot of flowing water.

During the practical part, participants will make their own brushes from different materials, learn about the best materials for working with a brush, and produce their own works celebrating spring using ink and their new brushes.

Dasha Malinina (b. 1999, Cherepovets) is an artist, teacher, and curator. She studied set and stage design at the Art and Design School of the Higher School of Economics. Her preferred mediums are works on paper, sculpture, and set design and costumes for theater and performance.

Meeting with Artist Yulia Dibrova

Yulia Dibrova will talk about how she chose to become an artist and about her project Silence Hotel. Participants will discuss how we can explore the world around us through art and how everyday objects can inspire us to make art.

During the practical part participants will draw the images that come to them after the discussion of Yulia’s work and make a mosaic based on them using an unusual material.

Yulia Dibrova (b. 1988, Moscow) is a contemporary artist, curator, and jewelry maker. She studied at Joseph Backstein Institute of Contemporary Art and the Open Studios at Winzavod (10th season). Her first degree was in political science, with a focus on questions of gender. Her preferred mediums are objects, installation, and sculpture. She started her career in performance (taking part in Kembra Pfahler’s performance at Garage in 2011), photography, and conceptual jewelry.
