SEE:UA - connecting landscapes Symposium Event

5:00 PM: Start of presentations and discussions at LLLLLL space. Adress: Sonnenallee 26, 1220 Wien

This summer, we developed the art in public space project SEE:UA – connecting landscapes, transforming Seestadt into a large experimental art laboratory. The young urban development area served as the setting for a community of Ukrainian artists and their colleagues together with Austrian artists to explore concepts of landscape, urban transformation, displacement, and home.

With the production phase completed at the end of August, we now wish to present and reflect on the resulting artistic positions that created the SEE:UA project and its artworks. We invite both the audience who joined us over the summer and new visitors to our concluding symposium and one of the guided tours offered.

The entire curatorial team, Natalia Matsenko, Yuri Yefanov, Clemens Poole, and Reinhold Zisser, will be present along with some of the artists from SEE:UA – connecting landscapes to reflect on the project together with the audience.

After a year of preparation and several months of practical implementation, we are delighted to warmly invite you to join us on this afternoon. The symposium will be followed by an evening event, during which the exhibition space will remain open with music and drinks.

Details:
From 5 to 7:30 pm we will present the project SEE:UA – connecting landscapes in a moderated discussion format.
Natalia Matsenko will moderate and lead through discussions with the curatorial team Clemens Poole, Yuri Yefanov and Reinhold Zisser.
Selected artists from the project will also give insights into their specific artworks and experiences during the project.
Some of the topics and questions that will be discussed will be:
* summary of the project and personal impressions/proposals
* Connecting landscapes. Is this a metaphor or a purpose?
* Connection of Mohrytsia and Seestsdt — did it work? And what would be the criteria
* Backstage: a few glances to the invisible side of the project
* possible future of SEE UA (activation & communication in 2025 / SEE UA 2 in 2026)

After our Symposium event the evening will continue at our space in Seestadt with Drinks and a little Buffet for all guests.

Looking forward to welcome you to our SYMPOSIUM of SEE:UA – connecting landscapes.
