“The peculiarity of this exhibition is that it will comply with children’s conception of the perfect exhibition. For this, we held a special poll for our young viewers. Here it will be possible and it’s needed to see, research, think, ask questions, search for answers and interpret. There will be also new things that nobody does: children will be able to create artworks directly in the installment with any risks for exhibits: to paint in the air using a web-cam and monitor, by a program that recognizes hand moves. It allows to paint with gestures, transform color ideas in motion and save works of children on phone or tablet”,-said Science Deputy Director of Perm Art Gallery Olga Startseva.

Nowadays, in limited conditions due to the pandemic, this decision became very well-timed and relevant”, – commented the adviser to the Chairman of the Board of Directors of PJSC Metafrax Maria Konovalova. It’s planned that after the closure of the exhibition in Perm, it will be held in the local history museum of Gubakha.
