... with Julia Beliaeva

In this episode of WAS MIT KUNST, Johann König welcomes Ukrainian
artist Julia Beliaeva. In a conversion in the backdrop of the
artist’s booth in the showroom of KÖNIG GALERIE, they speak about
Beliaeva’s practice and the circumstances for artist’s in Ukraine.
Julia Beliaeva, first and foremost, is a digital artist. Her
artworks are born digital and exist beyond the earthly idea of
fragility. Beliaeva works with sensitive subjects and tends to
amplify their impact by placing them in fragile forms. Her digital
creations often find embodiment in ceramics and porcelain. She is
interested in how technology affects us and our consciousness, as
well as how the new technology can make sense and update
traditional media. In particu¬lar, Beliaeva works a lot with
porcelain, which allows her to reflect on the heritage and lost
traditions through a combination of new technologies and the
popularity of Ukraine’s ceramic industry, which is now lost.
