The exhibition "WHERE VIEWABLE" presents 6 artists working in various techniques and directions, outside a single field of meaning, often even on perpendicular planes. Each has a particular relationship to the geometry of space and possesses the ability to transform it.

Concept
The exhibition "WHERE VIEWABLE" draws attention to the way an artist constructs space — to the relationship of each work not only with interior space, but with exterior space as well. In this way, a reflection of the urban landscape is created within the exhibition. The unifying architectural space of the Moskvich Cultural Center offers the possibility of play between interior and exterior perspective.
Street art and contemporary art, exhibited together within the gallery space, interact with one another in this project on the level of material, scale, and idea. The chosen directions each have their own particular angle of view, which ultimately limits the field of vision — one that contains both a near circle and a distant perspective. The exhibition's title, "In the Zone of Visibility," raises the question of what actually falls within our field of vision, what its structure and properties are, and which nodal points make this space a unified whole.
We try to make visible the elements of working with composition that are common to all the artists involved. At the same time, their differences also acquire maximum contrast.

China as a country of present and future attract that much attention that the problem designated in the title of the lecture has already become obvious.

November, 2
Moskvich Cultural Center, fireplace room
14:00 – lecture of Alexander Lysov “Art and Technology”
As for me the artistic process is a research that is always connected to the trial and error method, so it is more interesting to analyze their consequences than to create something perfect. The research lies in the area of new technologies, their social effect and possible visual interpretation. Using the latest technologies for creating art also puts the authorship problem in the research area. Unlike the completely handmade art and by virtue of fair self-sufficiency of technology not merely “human” but more likely some kind of “human+technology” complex comes to be an author.
16:00 – lecture of ZukClub “Monumental painting”

About the organizer
International Culture Project «Art-Residence» is a space, uniting several directions of art:
• Visual art
• Music
• Dance
In the framework of the International Culture Project «Art-Residence», artists, choreographs, musicians of various disciplines from Russia and other countries can meet, share their experiences, work together and present collaborative ideas that lie at the intersection of different art forms.
Our aim is to bring together the concepts of artists working within both the same artistic field and different genres, and to identify the connections that unite them.
