The southernmost and longest tour of the program (more than 600 km) is centered around the landscape and architectural treasures of the industrial cities of Satka and Kyshtym. Ural. In two days, the tour shows the viewers 3 art projects created within the 6th Ural Industrial Biennial.
Visitors will see a mural by Andrey Olenev, the street artist from Nizhny Novgorod, on the facade of the 14-story High-Temperature Shaft Furnace of the Magnezit Group's production complex. The display of the special project by Vasily Kononov-Gredin is an opportunity to look into hundreds of round mirrors screwed on the territory of the entire Berezovsky quarry: some of them always reflect its rocky surface, others – the sky, others – a lake that arose from a source and sooner or later will flood both the quarry and all the mirrors in it. The sculpture by Ivan Gorshkov in the Kyshtymka riverbed is dedicated to the authentic technology of copper processing: a worker made in the spirit of the Soviet avant-garde stands knee-deep in water, subordinating the elements to the industrial process.
