Frankivsk School of Contemporary Art fra fra fra
In September 2023, Asortymentna kimnata та and Contemporary Art Centre (Ivano-Frankivsk) launched Frankivsk School of Contemporary Art as an attempt not only to problematize the lack of the school in the city, but also to offer a solution.
Frankivsk School of Contemporary Art was nominally the school in the classical sense, and was created as a learning community and laboratory. It focuses on thinking and concepts and is guided by participatory formats: individual and collective projects, mentoring, and artistic research.
The program consisted of theoretical and practical blocks, covering topics from the history of art to the art market, as well as working on one's own art project. Performance, painting, and video art classes were taught by artists who professionally practice these mediums.
The project included the School for teenagers and the School for adults. The first one aimed to introduce teenagers (11 to 17 years old) to contemporary art as a method of cognition and as a language. The second one involved those who had already started their artistic practice but needed a learning community and mentoring to find their own artistic language and try out different methods.
Curators and lecturers:
Olga Poliak — curator at the School for teenagers and adults, member of Insha Osvita, curator of the self-publishing house SVAYA, founder of the 20P_ association, and visual arts educator.
Alona Karavai — curator and mentor of the school for adults, co-founder of Asortymentna kimnata.
Rostyslav Koterlin — mentor of the School for adults.
Invited artists: Orest Zaborskyi, Sergii Melnychenko, Anatoliy Zvizhynskyi, Yaroslav Futymskyi, Anton Saenko, Yarema Malashchuk & Roman Khimei, Mykola Ridnyi, Natalia Lisova, Olia Mykhailiuk, Vitalii Hrekh, Mariia Agisian.
