How can you stay visible in the art world without living in algorithms? This is the central theme of the workshop “From studio to gallery”, organized within the Young Artist Auction project, which will take place on 17 November, 17:00, at Artcor Chisinau, 137, 31 August 1989 street, 137.

The event is dedicated to young artists interested in promoting their own creations, collaborating with galleries and curators and exploring authentic forms of artistic expression beyond social networks.

The guest of the session is Pavel Brăila, one of the most appreciated visual artists from the Republic of Moldova, active on the international scene for over two decades. A graduate of Jan van Eyck Academie (The Netherlands) and Le Fresnoy – Studio national des arts contemporains (France), Brăila divides his time between Chisinau and Berlin.

An internationally recognized artist

Pavel Brăila’s work combines film, installation and performance, exploring themes such as identity, memory, post-Soviet social transformations and the perception of East versus West.
He has participated in major contemporary art events such as documenta11 (Kassel, 2002) with the work “Shoes for Europe”, Manifesta 10 (St. Petersburg, 2014), as well as in numerous exhibitions in museums and cultural centers in Europe, the USA and Asia.
His recent projects include The Golden Snow of the Sochi Olympics and Stolen Billion, works that critically address the social and political realities of the Republic of Moldova.

An evening of motivational ideas and new perspectives

The workshop promises an evening of discussion about alternative ways of promotion for artists who do not want an active social media presence. Drawing from his own experience, Pavel Brăila will talk about how an artist can build visibility through collaborations, festivals, curatorial networks and institutional context – betting on authenticity and valuable content, not algorithms.

Participants will have the opportunity to discover inspiring strategies, examples and real stories in a relaxed and creative setting.
