HALL 1. INSTALLATION
Description: 27 metal cables holding A0 canvas of transparent plastic film
Transformation: Each cable holds one canvas. Each artwork can be moved from one wall to another. Thanks to the material – a transparent film – and the way the canvases are placed, they can be superimposed on one another, resulting in the birth of a new "Me".

We wrote down our own and each other's names.
Then we began combining all of them. Some people had to finish what others started.
We wrote down the word "human" in different languages, each of us using his or her own sheet of paper.
Then we wrote down the word "human" together, using a single sheet of paper.
After that, we tried writing down the word "human" with our eyes closed."

HALL 6. HUMAN 2.0
A year ago, we were looking for the meaning of "Me", moving between black and white.
Today,* we try to stay somewhere in between, using gray metal background and a riot of color.
"ZArisovki project is based on interaction of all the participants with the style and techniques of the guest artist. The black and white painting period synchronized with the creation of the project which was initially called human 1.0.
We all change throughout our lives and even throughout one year. In mid 2020, i discovered a new material for my art. Metal. And i started to create my artworks from aluminum waste and industrial parts found at the production unit of intermold foundry located in the town of pervouralsk.
The exhibition opened in 2021. And that is when i got an idea and realized i had a dream. I was thinking: what if we started a joint project today? what would it be like?
Human 2.0 is all about empathy, about overcoming your ego. Metal canvases merge with the surroundings and reflect the light and colors of the world without losing itself.
In the exhibition halls of the ural branch of the ncca, we discovered yet another property of metal canvases. We found out that they also toll. And this sound appears in the spacious halls and then dissolves into silence.human 2.0 exhibition gropes for its own boundaries, allowing the visitors to interact with its objects and the exhibition space as a whole through the sound vibration of canvases and colors, to become part of the exhibition."
