The artist talk is available only for the School of Young Artists’ participants 

Vladlena Gromova will present the VALab Association’s recent projects and discuss the issues of working within an interdisciplinary team, choosing an appropriate methodology and tools for each particular project, and whether an unpredictable result may be considered as a conscious curatorial and artistic strategy.
