PLACE OF ART— EVENTS

"Place of Art" team conducts cultural and educational conferences, seminars, and workshops, that are followed by the periodical publication of the "Place of Art" journal. 

Together with the Doctorate School of Art and Design in Higher School of Economics, we organize research seminars and scholar conferences during which our participants and invited speakers prepare reports and public talks on contemporary problematics of art, curating and its strategies

A conversation with artist Felipe Mujica about his artistic practice, connection with Manuel Casanueva, the importance of collaboration and avant-garde practices in his projects.

We are launching a series of interviews with artists, researchers, and curators involved in collaborative projects. This is not a quick process, but it is very important to us because it allows us to communicate, albeit online, discuss, and discover new artistic practices and situations. Especially now. 

We begin the series with a conversation with Felipe Mujica, an artist who was born in Chile and now lives in New York, but whose artistic interactions span an incredibly wide range. 

We talked to him about the Curtains project, his artistic practice, and his understanding of collaboration as part of it. We also touched on the role of avant-garde ideas, inside-outside relationships in Mujica's projects, and talked about fragility as an integral part of them. And, of course, we asked Felipe about Manuel Casanueva, with whom the artist has his own history of interaction. 

We invite you to watch the video. This time, there are timecodes in the description in case you want to refer to a specific fragment of the video.

We are very grateful to Felipe Mujica for the conversation and for the new perspectives on collaboration as part of artistic practices.

As an artist and teacher-researcher, Marie Preston sees her work as artistic research and ethnographic exploration, resulting in works that document experiences with those she meets. Her artistic process, based on the interaction of the knowledge and know-how of all involved, aims to create shared spaces. The resulting works – photographs, sculptures, performances, and films – range from the presentation of experiences through collective actions.

Natacha Nisic is an artist and filmmaker. She weaves links between history, representation and memory and its implications in the political, social and cultural fields. She explores the invisible relationship between images, words, interpretation, symbol and ritual. Her work questions the nature of the image through different media: Super 8, 16MM, video, photography and drawing. She created The Crown Letter (2020), an international platform of women artists, in response to the Coronavirus crisis.
