CONSTRUCTION

Д

Date: 2014 to date.

Location: Dnipro.

 

Construction is a festival of new media and audiovisual art in urban space. The project appeals to the physical and visionary image of Dnipro, revealing a new view on its specifics and raising awareness of the social: space, responsibility and future.

The Construction Festival was conceived by a group of friends five years ago in the Mecca of industry and rocket production. Dnipro is a perfect location for contemporary art and music, being a cultural desert with industrial post-Soviet spirits, incomplete buildings, neglected spaces and a “closed city” syndrome. The Festival combines the themes of urban planning and social cultural growth, aiming to revive the dialogue about the creative needs of people who live in post-industrial and post-Soviet cities.

The last 5 festivals involved 50 locations in Dnipro: Pivdennyi Railway Station, Planetarium, Aquarium, Botanical Gardens, House of Organ and Chamber Music, Dnipro Philharmonic, Ilyich Palace, Volodarsky Factory, Museum “Literaturne Prydniprovya”, Dnipro Art Museum, Palace of Students, DNU Research Library, and many more. Over 200 participants from Ukraine, Japan, the EU countries and the USA presented their performances, installations, arts and music projects, sharing their experiences and inspiring with their successful cultural and educational practices.

 

Purpose:

–  To create a new cultural landscape and integrate new technologies in outdated public cultural institutions, and draw attention to controversial locations in the city with the help of art.

– To rally active citizens to tackle those issues and identify the problem-solving vectors. To engage foreign artists and experts proposing innovative practices; to cooperate effectively with local authorities, representatives of communities and international cultural institutions.
