Art event is held specifically for the members of the international jury, who will gather on this day in Kyiv to announce the winner of the Future Generation Art Prize 2014
On Saturday, December 6, 2014, at 14:00 the PinchukArtCentre and Public Movement (Israel), the nominee for the third edition of the Future Generation Art Prize, invite public to take part in the performance “Cross Section”. The event will be held in the presence of the members of the international jury, including the renowned artist Jan Fabre and one of the most influential international curators, Artistic Director of documenta 14 Adam Szymczyk and others. On this day the jury will decide upon the winner of the Future Generation Art Prize 2014 and announce his/her name at the Award Ceremony taking place in the PinchukArtCentre.
As part of its artistic act, Public Movement for the second time will present in Kyiv a retrospective of their well-known performances, including staging of a car accident, crowd manipulations, research of human behavior in critical situations and so forth. In addition, the action participants will join Ukrainian folk festivities and will see new choreography, exploring the aesthetics of the street protests behavior, self-organization, as well as the issue of leadership establishment.
The outdoor performance will take place at Triokhsviatytelska Street in Kyiv, starting from “Ukrainian House” and proceeding towards the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the Mykhailivska Square that are two significant geopolitical points in the recent history of Ukraine.
On December 6, at 13:45 the event coordinators holding white/black/blue flags with Public Movement identity will meet performance participants near “Ukrainian House”, (2 Khreshchatyk str., Kyiv). The performance itself will start at 14:00. No advance registration required.
“Cross Section” will be executed by local performers, selected by the group members and trained in Tel-Aviv, thus becoming a new cell of Public Movement in Kyiv.
We recommend the participants to wear comfortable footwear and warm clothes as the event will take place outdoor and will last about an hour.
