Performance collaboration by Sergey Nikitin and Tina Shibalova

A performance collaboration with artist Tina Shibalova will take place as part of the finale of Sergey Nikitin's exhibition "Unsportsmanlike Behavior."

The event completes the "Unsportsmanlike Behavior" project and continues to explore the cyclical nature of the exhibition process, in which the dismantling and disappearance of one project turns into a moment of potential, a "zero point" for a new statement. The artists will work with materials fr om Tina Shibalova's previous exhibition "Getting Lost on this Day", previously implemented as part of the Vinzavod program.Experiment.
