As a final Open Studio event, we will witness the conclusion of their stay in LIA and may experience one performances and one intervention by Uliana Bychenkova because of 60 years sister city partnership between Kiew and Leipzig. Thanks to the generous support of the Goethe-Institut and the continuing Northern as well as Pacific Leipzig projects, artists from Northern Europe are currently meeting artists from the Pacific region and will be exhibiting together in SCAPING! and opening their studios.
