Duo d'artistes russes / Artists Duo from Russia
Elizaveta Konovalova et Ekaterina Vasilyeva
Both from Moscow, young artists Elizaveta Konovalova & Ekaterina Vasilyeva met in France, where they studied at the Beaux Arts School of Paris.
Both artists want to question and explore their similar path and influences. Both want to build a first duo project by comparing the common things and the differences between their own personal works.
During their residency at la malterie, they will develop some researches linked to the context, questionning the space and situations to conceive specific interventions : using the place as a ressource, through it's scapes, history and architecture.
The links of ideas will then bloom in an artistic dailogue between Ekatarina's and Elizaveta's practices.
Open studio : come and discover the work done and meet the artists.
23 & 24 june at la malterie (14h - 19h)

THEMATIC > ARTISTS DUOS
Being itself born from the gathering of artists, la malterie always cared a lot about collective organisation forms for artists, and the will for artists to use their energy in a meaningfull and solidaire way.
Artists often gather for different reasons : sharing costs, spaces, tools, or working together sharing artistic views on the world they're living in.
A group of artists is an efficient intelligence, made possible by the combination of different creative people, and the crossing of ideas and approaches. La Malterie and L'H du Siège both decided to cross their artistic program welcoming artists duos in residency.
