Within the framework of the first three courses of the programme Understanding the Museum, through the example of the solo show of Anish Kapoor, “China China” and the group exhibition of 21 nominees for the Future Generation Art Prize 2013, the course participants got acquainted with approaches to temporary and permanent exhibition. The majority of the programme audience for the very first time had been offered an opportunity to communicate directly with artists, including Tiberiy Silvashi, Lada Nakonechna, Alevtyna Kakhidze, Lesia Khomenko, Ivan Yunakov, Tetiana Goriushyna, Oleksandr Kurmaz, Oleg Hryschenko and “Open Group”. Towards the end of the course each participant conducted a discussion tour devoted to one of the art objects showcased at the art centre.
Education is at the core of the PinchukArtCentre activities. It is an open platform for our audience and in a wider sense for the whole society to get access to the world of art, experience and competence. Based on the international challenge of our exhibition programme, it offers a wide range of different views. PinchukArtCentre Education invites children, students, families, schools, universities and artists to participate in an open discourse, guided activities and discussions on contemporary art and the exhibitions at PinchukArtCentre.
