Andrei Siclodi (curator) and Vladislav Shapovalov (artist, RU) are discussing aspects of Shapovalov’s work shown in the exhibition Uncanny Formations. The exhibition of the new Büchsenhausen Fellows focuses on specters of education, geopolitics from the past, deviances of the body and apparenty obsolete methods of image production.

Afterwards: closing party of Premierentage 2016
