АРТ ПРОСПЕКТ 2014 - September 25-28, 2014, St. Petersburg, Russia

Art Prospect is a large international public art festival organized by CEC ArtsLink, which will take place in St. Petersburg for the third time. For four days yards, gardens, squares and other public spaces in the city center will be filled with the works by contemporary artists.

This year «Art Prospect» is devoted to the discussion of ecological issues. The very genre of public art, art in the context of the urban environment, allows to speak convincingly on the most serious topics related to climate change, environmental protection, retention of biological and cultural diversity, competition between the ecosystems. Moreover, the authors do it very delicately, involving the audience into a many-sided dialogue, providing with information and inspiring for certain actions.

More than forty authors from Russia, Europe, USA, Australia, Armenia and Georgia will create their works using a variety of materials and techniques, including temporary installations, interactive media projects, collages and performances. Many projects contemplate the active participation of the local residents. The program of the festival also includes lectures and workshops on the use of recycled materials, dance classes, etc.

This year the festival joined the parallel program of the European Biennial of Contemporary Art «Manifesta 10».

The curator of the third «Art Prospect» festival is Kendal Henry – well-known specialist in the field of public art familiar with Russian art scene.
