We’re glad to introduce you to a new season at #VirtualSPAR, that will turn our platform into a multicultural, multigeographic, and multimedia city.

From May 17th to June 26th 2021 twelve artists from seven countries will be working in a shared online studio at #VirtualSPAR and building THE CITY. In their projects, the citizens will address the theme of artistic image and social practice in a time of global change.

These days, more than half of the planet ́s population lives in cities. Whatever the future holds: The way we will live tomorrow will largely depend on how city life is changing today and how it will develop in times of global crises. Artists are among those who sense those changes very clearly. They transform their vision into “images”, and at times work
in social or participatory formats in the midst of our societies. What does their visual practice look like, and what can we learn from their social practice?

THE CITY includes a virtual residency and a program of professional and public events. The projects of the participants will be presented at an online exhibition in July-September 2021. Stay tuned for more details!

This project is organized by the EUNIC St. Petersburg in collaboration with the St. Petersburg Art Residency and funded by the EUNIC Global Cluster Fund “European Space of Culture”.
