NOMADIC TEXTILE
TEXTILE WORKSHOP
Curators: Asel Yeszhanova, Zoryana Martyniuk
During five days of the workshop we have experimented with the materials — from textiles to plastic and foil. We studied how fabrics with different structure, density, texture, can interact, complement each other and change their behavior.
Together with Zoryana and a team of cool, open-minded and bright participants, we made giant curtains for the Parasolka workshop. The plastic net become something like a canvas, on which the endless strips of textile (and not only) created images — lines, ornaments, storylines. There are different ideas on each of the six canvases: a surface emerged exclusively from transparent stripes, a traditional Hutsul motif interlacing with cosmic silver ribbons, patterns made of only warm or only cold tones.
Without knowing it, we came up with a story of freely wandering materials on the grid. By the way, all used fabrics is found at the second hand shops. We tried to give a second life to the pieces in a space, which also used to serve for other purposes.
Together with the participants of the workshop we have interlaced into our works tenderness, friendship, solidarity, respect for the history of the place. Let the ideas, materials, and people roam, exchange experiences, create new stories, connections, traditions and itineraries.
DESIGN OF PUBLIC PRODUCT
LAKE FURNITURE
Curators: Dmytro Isaiev, Taras Pastuschuk
Within the framework of City Scanning Sessions Festival, there was a two-day workshop: “Design of the common product”. Participants of the workshop designed infrastructural objects for exhibition around the Lake with the Swan. All objects are made of concrete and are resistant to adverse weather conditions, vandal-proof and will serve for a long time.
All objects are experimental and are exhibited temporarily. Our team has developed feedback and comments collecting system. If it becomes clear that some of the objects are inappropriate, they will be removed. Objects that receive positive feedback from the community will be produced in larger amount.
To see all the works of the workshop, please, take a walk around the lake and take a look at all of the objects.
