As part of the CYFEST 17 learning program, Berlin-based artist, theorist, and researcher Alexei Kostroma reflects on the artistic and philosophical framework he has developed since the early 1990s, tracing connections between natural and social laws, matter, systems, time, and meaning. He will discuss recurring materials and “artistic signs” central to his practice — eggshells, white feathers, numbers, and lemon-yellow pigment — as well as his concept of the point as a moment of concentration, transition, ending, and beginning. Taking place in the Creativity Hall.
