Pavel Khailo graduated from the School of Visual Communication (Kyiv, 2015) and the Chto Delat School of Engaged Art (St. Petersburg, 2017). From 2015 to 2017, he worked with the Kyiv art group Concrete Dates Collective. He is interested in contemporary art in the context of political and economic processes, communications, and games as educational and ideological instruments of the creative economy.

During the residency, he planned to research transitional processes in public spaces that are initiated by various players and hierarchies. Khailo focused on playgrounds and the discourses that surround them, as well as on these discourses’ presence in PR technologies and communications.
