Theme Tour “Continental Drive: Art from Different Parts of the World”
Wednesday, December 3, 19:00
On Wednesday, December 3, at 19:00 the PinchukArtCentre invites you to a theme tour entitled“Continental drive: art from different parts of the world”. Though the modern world often seems to be overly globalized, it is not all the same: every country, every region retains its own mood, a special cultural code which can be identified as mentality or temper. As part of the tour of the exhibition of the nominees for the Future Generation Art Prize 2014, visitors will analyze artworks that deal with the topics and issues so critical to the different parts of the world today: fear of the Europeans to lose individuality and uniqueness in the all-out social structures; high technological development of the North America; extreme solitude of a westerner; pride, nostalgia and affectionate attitude to own history in the works of the Latin America artists, etc.
The event starts at 19:00 on the 2nd floor of the art centre, reception area. The tour will be guided by the PinchukArtCentre’s guide Lilia Lavruk.
Registered event attendees will have priority entry to the art centre without queuing.
