Educational program
For the first time the III Moscow International Biennale for Young Art features an educational program that consists of various formats such as workshops, round-table discussions, a screening, and a lecture. The educational program aims to encourage an intensive dialogue between artists, scholars, students, curators, critics and the general public in order to allow a discursive involvement towards artistic, theoretical and curatorial approaches. The different formats of the educational program will examine the heterogeneous approaches and deconstructions of an «objective» reality as it is apparent in the artistic productions of the young generation of artists. The round-table discussions will gather international and Russian professionals from different fields of the art system and will provide an interdisciplinary exchange about relevant questions of contemporary art practice as well as a variety of contemporary discourses. The round-table discussions are planned to encourage an active participation of the public. The educational program will conclude with a screening and a lecture.
Workshops:
Round table discussion: The multiplicity of reality in contemporary art practice This discussion will focus on topics such as the prominence of examinations of identities in flux or virtuality in the art practice of the young generation of artists, collaborative working, and the relevance of «truth».

Round table discussion: Reality fights back: Drastic shifts in economy and politics and the consequences for contemporary art practice This discussion will investigate the impact of political and economic realities within artistic practice and will deal with topics such as neo-liberalism, conditions of precarity, urbanity and gentrification, ecology and sustainability, possible forms of counter-strategies and the advancement of young art as well as the meaning of art institutions as active parts of intermediation and education, and contemporary models of institutional practices and institutional critique.
