The Fine Hands Show: Meet the Artists – Gloria Zein

In preparation for the exhibition The Fine Hands Show, the Goethe-Institut Nowosibirsk presents Meet the Artists, a series of online encounters with artists participating in the exhibition. The artists from Berlin have developed instructions for the production of artworks, while the artists from Krasnoyarsk will physically produce the artworks following the directions. The meetings will be moderated by the Berlin-based curator Thibaut de Ruyter. Together with Anastasia Bezvershuk, the coordinator of the exhibition in Krasnoyarsk and the invited artists, he will discuss the specifics of the implementation of some instructions conceived for the exhibition.

The artists Gloria Zein (Berlin) and Dascha Bralkova (Krasnoyarsk) are the special guests at the second event.

For ‘The Fine Hands Show’ exhibition Gloria Zein has conceived a strange object – the sculpture ‘The Surreptitious Expedition’ that reminds us of Louise Bourgeois’s spiders, the air balloons from Jules Verne’s books or the lunar module. In her instructions, Gloria does not determine the use of specific colour or materials, leaving a large part of interpretation to the producers in Siberia. The Krasnoyarsk artist Dasha Bralkova interprets and implements ‘The Surreptitious Expedition’ in the space of the Museum Centre ‘Ploshchad Mira’.

The meeting will take place on 12 May at 14:00 Berlin / 19:00 Krasnoyarsk time.
