Theme Tour “Painting as a Medium: Between Traditional Craft and Contemporary Practices”
On Saturday, August 31, at 17:00 the PinchukArtCentre invites all visitors to join a Thematic Tour “Painting as a Medium: Between Traditional Craft and Contemporary Practices”
Painting is perhaps the most ancient form of art, which, however, has kept its form until now. But obviously, the paintings of classical masters differ significantly from the contemporary art objects. This is due to the change of artistic practice itself, which acts as a medium of communication in a particular cultural context, in contrast to the classical principle of imitation of reality (Aristotle’s "mimesis"). However, despite the apparent communicative nature of contemporary art, painting continues to refer to the human sensibility that gives contemporary art a particular depth.
Theme Tour participants will have an opportunity to reflect on these questions, referring to the works of art of the contemporary artists presented under the current shows at the PinchukArtCentre, including Sun Xun, Zhang Huan, Zhao Yao, Damien Hirst, Martin Kobe, Julie Mehretu.
The event starts at 17:00 on the 2nd floor of the art centre, reception area. The tour will be guided by Tetyana Erokhova, the PinchukArtCentre’s tour guide.
Theme tours can be arranged on request for schools and universities.
