◆Sergey Kuryokhin Contemporary Art Award Exhibition◆
An exhibition of this year’s Kuryokhin Prize nominees has opened at the Sergei Kuryokhin Center for Contemporary Art in St. Petersburg. The award ceremony itself will take place in “Priboy” cinema on April 5, 2012. The exhibition is curated by Viktoria Ilyushkina.
The Sergey Kuryokhin Award is one of Russia’s most significant cultural events, shaping trends in the world of contemporary art. The prize is awarded to artists, curators, and musicians who, in their work, develop the revolutionary ideas formulated by Sergey Kuryokhin in the 1990s. The principles of “Pop Mechanics”—the search for new forms of artistic interaction, provocation, a focus on performance, improvisation, and the unpredictability of creative outcomes—form the foundation of the prize.
