Performance: Daria Melnikova

KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin together with "kim?" Contemporary Art Centre presents a performance by the winner of the first "kim?" Residency Award and KW’s artist-in-residence Daria Melnikova on July 30, 8pm at KW (Studiolo). The performance is conceived as an embodiment of Daria Melnikova's work during her time in residence at KW, a project still in progress. The work itself is a 3-dimensional construction, an installation composed of materials and aesthetics reminiscent of a cross between an office cubicle and a break room. The annual "kim? "Residency Award is a residency programme for an exceptionally promising Latvian artist or an artist duo. The winner of the first "kim?" Residency Award (Daria Melnikova) spent a period from May to August, 2015 in KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin.
