Artification

In March 2017, as a part of the Gamma festival, the m_division and pbr art team launched a pilot project called "Artification" aiming to support and develop various facets of contemporary art and new talents.

The aim of the project was to initiate interaction between beginners and experienced artists, to support the most recent trends in contemporary art and to uncover the potential of young Russian artists.

The theme of "Artification" is transformation. Change of form and content, search for a dialogue with the city and space by the artist and through his works. Within two months, we have accepted more than 450 applications from artists working in one of four areas: media art, public art, architecture and recycle. After the end of the application process, the curators and the expert jury selected 62 of the most interesting projects that meet three criteria: originality, relevance and feasibility.

At the end of June, the authors of the selected works gathered in a professional art camp at an art residence in the countryside, there, during two weeks, they prepared their objects for presenting at the main exhibition space of the project, that is the Gamma festival of music, art and new urban culture. The result was an amazing and large-scale exhibition of contemporary Russian artists

In 2018, the project receives the status of international, in March 2018, the project "Artification" starts accepting applications and Open Call is announced.
