The opening of the "Eutektika" exhibition, featuring contemporary metal, sound, and media artists, took place at the Catherine Public Assembly building. The project explores themes of self-knowledge and inner transformation.
Graduates of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials, and Transport of St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU) majoring in "Technology of Artistic Materials Processing" played a key role in organizing and hosting the exhibition:
Alena Ivanova (class of 2024) is the project's art director; Polina Reshetnikova (class of 2025) is the curator; Anna Mokhnatkina (class of 2025) is the graphic designer.
The artists include graduates and students of the IMMiT program "Technology of Artistic Processing of Materials":
Varvara Levina (class of 2023); Alisa Glekler (3rd year student of HSE University of Physical and Technical Medicine); Polina Reshetnikova (class of 2025); Anastasia Maksimova (3rd year student of HSE University of Physical and Technical Medicine); Sofia Samsonova (2nd year student of HSE University of Physical and Technical Medicine).
The exhibition's title refers to the physics term "eutectic" (from the Greek εὔτηκτος, meaning easily melting), which refers to a mixture of metals that contains both solid and liquid parts and melts at a minimal temperature. In the exhibition, metal is presented not simply as a material, but as a living medium of change. Heating, stress, deformation, and the acquisition of a new structure become a metaphor for human experience.
Physical work with metal requires the same patience and strength as the complex process of finding one's own truth, the organizers note.
The exhibition is located at 88-90 Griboyedov Canal Embankment. It will be open until March 28, Wednesday through Friday from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM and Saturdays from 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Age limit: 12.
