During the talk, we shall cover art spaces – workshops and galleries ("white cubes"). We shall present them as spaces through which the art is transferred, where it is created, and presented. We shall think about how the "aesthetic non-places" textualize art through generation of senses and meanings, and how it is impacted as a cultural form? How does the space impact interpretation of art, and how it makes it recognizable and open for evaluation? Is the perception of the city and the role of artists therein transforming? During the meeting, we shall view a brief history about Vlodko (Volodymyr) Kaufman created within the project "City and Art on the Edge".
Facilitator – Bohdan Shumylovych, head of Public History programs at the Center for Urban History.
