Eurokon, 2. Symposium für interaktives Recycling, 1996
Following the success of Eurokot, a second eight-week forum in Russia is organized with cooperation by the Museum of Primitive Arts of Ural and Siberia, the association Environment (state architecture and arts academy of Yekaterinburg), the Siberian Unesco club Krug and the Swiss foundation pro Helvetia.
This collective of artists, made up of 16 Western European and 10 Russian artists, met in Yekaterinburg to work in groups with the raw waste material of four different factory areas on site: one tyre production, a rubber factory, a ceramic foundry and a scrap yard. Unfortunately, the physical exposition of the project is only documented by a gallery show in town, as at the time, industrial locations were not accessible to the public. For their next endeavor the group travels to Novosibirsk where an exposition is created with on site paintings, objects and sculptures, which was then shown in the national museum of Siberia.
