As part of the final exhibition of the 13th season of the Winzavod's Open Studios, "You have reached your Destination", a series of author's mediations will be held. 
Mediation within the framework of the exhibition is a format of live dialogue, free fr om strict interpretations and the search for "correct" answers. The artists offer the audience to rethink the concept of a route together, wh ere the main value lies not in reaching the end point, but in the space "between". 

Participants will talk about the value of loss, loneliness, collective memory, and how each person's inner experience helps create personal order out of the chaos around them. During the discussion, the guests will be able to share associations and reflect on what our metaphorical "baggage" is filled with when the navigator announces: "You have reached your destination."

On May 8 at 18:00 – mediation from the artists of the 13th season: Oksana Afanasyeva and Anna Lapshinova.

Entrance is by registration.

The winery's open studios have been operating since 2017 and the New names of the Winery are included in the strategic direction. The project combines the principles of a workshop, a residence and an art school based on one of the leading Russian art institutions, the Vinzavod Center for Contemporary Art. Residents of Open Studios work with a mentor, receive personal professional advice, participate in collective projects, artist talks and master classes. 

For the artists selected by the expert council, participation in the project is an opportunity to take the first steps in the creative and commercial fields under the guidance of experienced professionals. For the audience, Open Studios are an opportunity to observe the process of creating works of art. For collectors, Open Studios are a chance to get to know future stars even at the stage of their formation.
