ARTISTIC EXTROVERTISM HAS BEEN SWAPPED FOR INTROVERTISM, WHICH PREFERS MORE INTIMATE FORMS. WHAT IS IMPORTANT TODAY IS NOT SO MUCH THE SHOCK EFFECT, BUT MEDITATIVENESS AND CONCENTRATION. VIKTOR MISIANO
ZARYA ARTIST / METASITU
30 OCTOBER – 30 NOVEMBER / 2018
METASITU is a research-based art practice based in Kiev and Athens, abusing urbanism discourses and developing new tools to empower individuals in the way they relate to the territory.
Founded in 2014 by Liva Dudareva and Eduardo Cassina, METASITU was born with the goal of establishing emancipatory narratives around the way we inhabit space, targeting wider audiences than traditional architectural/urbanism circles. METASITU’s work is centered on different formats of knowledge exchange and developing new tools for understanding the urban condition today for a queerer tomorrow.
Through the curation of urbanism festivals, directing educational programs, enabling real estate transgressions, proposing workshops, performing lectures and disseminating videos, METASITU opens up new discursive lines, by involving different actors into challenging spatial narratives. METASITU strives for a world of horizontal hegemonies, borderlessness and borderlands, guided by our curiosity and urgency.
