Citywide program "KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE ?!"

In the festival program of the IV Moscow Urban Forum (CEH "Manege"), the "Exhibition Halls of Moscow" Association will present a "map of new attractions" in school districts in 8 districts of Moscow.

Areas located outside the center of Moscow are not rich in sights, monuments and other "signs of the place." The project participants - a group of teachers (artists and architects) and students of 8 schools in 8 districts of Moscow - in December 2014 will create new Moscow attractions - large sculptural objects.

Work on sculptures is accompanied by informal historical and local history studies, which students conduct together with teachers, artists and parents. The sculpture objects, which will appear as a result, will simultaneously express both regional and “school” identity. Texts written by schoolchildren - “explications”, dedicated to both sculpture and the territory on which it is exhibited, will be posted nearby.

The discussion platform and exhibition under the general title “Do you know where…?!” are included in the festival program of the Moscow Urban Forum, which is open for wide discussion of the main theme of the forum “Drivers for the Development of a Metropolis”.

December 13 12.00 - 15.00

Discussion area

The participants:

Georgy Nikich, art critic and curator of the Association “Exhibition Halls of Moscow”, curator of the project “Know where you live?!”
Konstantin Grouss, artist, director of the international project "Art Residence ",
Olga Rokal, artist,
Andrei Suzdalev, head of the children’s art studio at the NCCA.

Sociologists along with teachers from Moscow schools, historians and local historians, sociologists and psychologists will discuss complex issues: how children see the city, whether children and adults can change their city, is it true that the sculpture can be "residential ".

All discussions take place against the background of the exhibition presenting the project of last year and the interim result of the work of 2014. The exhibition is open not only on the 13th, but also on December 14th from 12.00 to 18.00.
