‘…Art is an inherent part of life, it mustn’t be brought
to the level of a myth or put onto any pedestal’, - says
Uve Jonas, an artist and curator from Berlin that will
visit Yekaterinburg to partake in Days of Germany in Russia.
From 31 August to 10 September within the course of Days of
Germany in Yekaterinburg will work with Yekaterinburg artists
to carry out a week long workshop in the space of
Verkh-Isetsky living area. Among the participants are artists

Ekaterina Zharinova as well as young artists, Sergey Rogozhkin,

involved in public art for a few years now. With about 20
artist participating in the project, we will also see some

(interventions into city spaces) will be seen throughout
the area. Also an exhibition will be held at Verkh-Isetsky
Culture and Arts Centre (Subbotnikov sq. 1)
