In the MTS Live app, the third episode of an experimental series of digital projects about local street culture in Russia is now available. This time, the focus is on the creative work of artists from Yekaterinburg. You can watch the 30-minute project for free from anywhere on the globe (if you have a Russian SIM card), as long as there is internet access and open space.
Specifically for Urban.Ekb, five key works essential to street art in Yekaterinburg were digitized. Two of them are by local artists Slava PTRK and Ilya Mozgi, while the other three belong to Moscow-based artists Nikita Golubev (known as Proboynick), Artem Stefanov, and Natalia Denisova. The storyline of the performance revolves around the antagonism between the antagonist, the Mistress of the Concrete Mountain, who fervently fights for "concreting traditions," and the main character—the spectator of the performance. Guiding through the plot is Old Bug, a legendary artist from Yekaterinburg (real name: Evgeny Mikhailovich Malakhin), who has gained fame through innovation and extravagance.
