→ 22 AUGUST (SATURDAY) 18:00 → EXHIBITION «ELEVEN SONS» by BAREBOYSLAB
Free entry
bareboyslab is an open laboratory of fine art, photography and performance, curated by artists Vladimir Vanenkov Vladimir Vanenkov and Konstantin Bushmanov k______b. At the center of the laboratory is a practice of working with boys, primarily non-professional models, where the camera becomes not so much a tool for documentation as a means of encounter and a shared exploration of the image.
The practice moves away from conventional acting and predetermined outcomes in favor of repetition, simple actions and a state in which a person stops performing themselves and simply begins to be present.
On August 22, bareboyslab presents its current state through Eleven Sons — a one-day exhibition and presentation of the laboratory, unfolding as an ever-growing archive of boys. Photographs are assembled into series, transformed into objects and combined with texts, existing between portrait and catalogue, personal encounter and a display of images.
