Tyumen residents will create a heart-shaped art object for the RUSSIA EXPO
The installation "I Love You, Tyumen Region" will become a prototype of an art object that the region will present at the International RUSSIA EXPO.
It took several days of painstaking work and thousands of paper rolls to create the huge red heart. However, the paper was not ordinary, but with messages of love to the native region. During the Public Art Weekend festival everyone could write words of love and warm wishes for the Tyumen region on a piece of paper and then put it back on the art object.
This is how the unique interactive installation "I Love You, Tyumen Region" came into being. It became the prototype of the art object "Heart", which will decorate the region’s stand. Work on the "Heart" has already started.
In addition, work on the remaining exposition of the region continues: it involves choosing materials, selecting key achievements, and launching an online information resource. The idea is to make acquaintance with the region not only interesting, but also useful for each visitor of the exposition, both in terms of business and recreation.
