PSM presents Catherine Biocca
PSM Gallery (DE)

Within her body of work, Catherine Biocca frequently shapes environments that insinuate total autonomy from the viewer’s reality. It is almost as if, by visitation, we are actually intruding upon private property or a theater stage, interrupting the very happenings taking place. Her characters, often recognizable as anthropomorphized assemblages, are consistently active and presently conscious within their surroundings.

Pangardenia Boat Trip

Saint-Petersburg is a city built on swamps and full of water. We don’t have much greenery rooted in soil, but we do have underwater “gardens” (microbiome of Neva, Fontanka, Krukov Kanal, etc.) and deeply layered swamp life in the city’s depth. This path will lead us through water nomadic gardens of the city and its outskirts. It will be a site-specific artistic boat-trip that collaborated with boat-drones whose task is to collect eco-data.

Evgeniy Molodsov: Ramus

Cultural institutions such as universities and museums are locked. Used to be full of activities and people, today they are abandoned gardens. We will visit these semi-closed, semi-live spaces and share this experience online to recreate them in virtual spaces and to find new ways for growing knowledge and art.

Boris Shershenkov: Short glimpse through the curtain (2020)

The Russian term Parniki means greenhouses but they hold a connotation of hot closed space for plants, mostly southern such as tomatoes. Because of the cold climate and less natural light in Saint Petersburg we need to create an artificial climate for growing most plants. On this path we visit artists at their homes; explore indoor gardening; autonomous existence; creating gardens for spaceships and any other types of "capsuled" life.

The Hollow Sound of Longing
Daata presents Eva Papamargariti
Daata (UK)

Eva Papamargariti's work explores the relationship and construction of the limits between virtual space and material reality, as well as the dynamic dissolution that takes place on the verge of these two “ecosystems.” Her practice delves into issues and themes related to simultaneity, the merging of our surroundings with the virtual, the constant diffusion of fabricated synthetic images that define and fragment our identity as well as the symbiotic procedures and entanglement that take place between humans, nature and technology.
