Art as Labour: Summer School in Russia.
Our Head of School, Professor Robert Mull will be curating a summer school at Nikola Lenivets outside Moscow in August which picks up on themes here in Brighton and the emergent Global Practice Unit. It will be open to architects, designers, artists and makers.
“The Art as Labour summer school is located in Nikola-Lenivets, the largest art park in Europe, which offers participants stunning scenery and rich research test bed, with 28 art works spread across 650 hectares. We will examine the relationship between art and labour in the context of increasing automation and future changes in the notion of ‘labour’, recent movements in Russian art and architecture that make reference to Russia’s rural past to address the loss of communal identity and cohesion. The work of Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, Nikolay Polissky and Alexander Brodsky will form a central theme”
