“Inventing a Metaphor” with Madina Zholdybekova

На первом занятии цикла участники вместе с художницей Мадиной Жолдыбековой познакомятся с понятием метафоры и попробуют применить ее в иллюстрации.

«На практической части занятия мы будем пробовать метафору на вкус и на цвет, кусать ее с разных сторон и вдыхать ее запахи. Мы соберем метафору из помидоров и огурцов, из квадратов и кругляшков, из жирафов и петушков. Участники мастер-класса прокачают мышцы воображения и научатся проявлять любопытство к миру».

Theater under Cameras with Anna and Vitaly Cherepanov

An ongoing project launched by Anna and Vitaly Cherepanov in 2014, Theater under Cameras is a series of videos shot on city webcams. In 2019, the project was shortlisted for the Innovation Prize—Russia’s state award in contemporary art. Most of the videos document the Cherepanovs’ own performances, but some of them have captured other people, animals, or weather phenomena.

The artists will present their videos and speak about the making of Theater under Cameras, explain how similar videos can be produced, and offer several simple scenarios for collective actions or performances that can be shot using a program. Three days after the workshop, participants will be sent a link to an edited video.
