#Readingroomfor weekends: подборка из трех интервью ODRA 🍓Рина Вольных рассказывает о гендере в своих работах, профессиональном пути современного художника и коммерциализации искусства: 'I’ve never sold any work, to be honest. I’ve sold some books, some merchandise, but I mostly sell my skills and my knowledge.' read 👉Стас Шурипа размышляет о пространственности в контексте глобальных трансформаций, виртуальной природе границ и пост-человеке, душа которого больше не находится внутри тела: 'Our minds live in video conferences, broadband streams, chats, and phone calls. Mind is not located inside body anymore; it is a cloud of cognitive activities that are extended in space through communication and cognition media.' read 🌿Видеогруппа Рой интервью сразу с пятью участницами коллектива, который вырос из Свободных Мастерских МОММА - рассказывают про поддержку друг друга в непростое время, границу между видеоартом и перформансом и возможность работы вне институций: 'We ask ourselves each time discussing the video - what is the point of making this or that particular art as a group and not alone? And we try to find that point and incorporate it into the work, make it felt by us — then it can be felt by the viewer.' read

🍓Garage book SALE. Что еще найти и унести с собой на английском фотографам, архитекторам и керамистам: 👉 Фотокаталоги: Contemporary photographyfrom India and South America / from the Far East Distinguished by a pure feeling that places the individual at the centre of the world, the work of Indian and South American artists shares a close relationship with a history of traditions and rituals as well as a burdensome colonial legacy against the background of bountiful but pitless nature. 👉 Про мосты красиво и подробно: Of Bridges and borders. Sigismond de Vajay Of B&B is an attempt to operate according to an open and participatory dynamic. On its pages is a hovering conern with challenging borders, building new bridges and, through the participants, bringing to light unlikely and definitive solutions. 👉 Любителям керамики: Breaking the mould. New approaches to ceramics As the craft/design/fine art divides become ever less distinct, the possibilities for artists and makers trained in a specific medium become more and more diverse. This was never truer than in the medium of ceramics. The love-hate relationship of ceramicists with the incredibly rich history of pottery, makes for fascinating conversations between the various makers and within individual pieces of ceramic art.

#новоеинтервьюStas Shuripa: 'Sense of being lost spreads with every new crisis, and now, disorientation becomes ubiquitous', ODRA founder Katya Ceppel talked to the artist and curator Stas Shuripa about the impact of global crises on spatiality, the boundaries of the real and the virtual and the new artists strategies of interaction with the urban environment in post-covid era. The conversation turned out to be thought-provoking: 'Geopolitics is eclipse of reason, madness of our epoch, overture to triumph of death. A symptom: there must be something in our time that allows it to grow. It is supported by both military-industrial logic, and feeling of marginalization of human subjectivity before the face of ever-evolving systems. In a complex techno-scientifically produced environments many humans feel anxiety and fear to remain superfluous, abandoned by the course of history. That’s why today’s communications work so well if fueled by ressentiment – main fossil fuel of the first half of the 21st century.'

продолжаем книжную рубрику и ищем в Москве споты с англоязычной литературой --> Garage Museum for Contemporary Art и SALE, о котором мы уже писали и с которого уйти налегке не получится for example, Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary - A question of evidence Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary (TBA21) is an international art and advocacy foundation created in 2002 by the philanthropist and collector Francesca Thyssen-Bornemisza, based in Madrid and Vienna. Few abstracts from the catalogue that is dedicated to art+politics theme to understand its discourse: A Question of Evidence presents works by artists and cultural practitioners who engage with, or comment upon, the difficulty of creating, collecting, and disseminating evidence-based material around issuies such as identity politics, the suppression of human rights, democratic reform, and restrictions on free expression and representation. Can contemporary art make a difference, be the seed for political innovation? Nothing is impossible. We must explore ways to shift the political paradigms through incentive rather than pressure. Instead of power centers, forums and institutions, art addresses people's minds - and that is its greatest strenght. How easily does evidence become questionable as the authorities, the media, or the travel industry manipulate it? What is evidence, and what becomes of it? These are difficult questions to ask ourselves, let alone to answer. Facts can become evasive, and with them, our notions of right and wrong. Some of mankind's greatest minds have interwoven the philosophy of knowledge with the philosophy of morals. In a way, this tells us that we cannot value Good without the True. ...

ODRA continues to reflect on the #PostSoviet period of culture and publishes the second part of the essay of Anna Domini exploring the phenomenon of the Sanatorium as one of the main metaphors and associations with the period during and after the USSR. the first part ---> the second part 'In order to paint a picture of a bright future for the people, it was necessary to start materializing it somewhere — and such sanatorium complexes began to appear, into which an ordinary person could step into like a paradise, as the Soviet era saw it. ... It is interesting to consider the psychological case that people in the USSR had to remain children. Children need to be led and they are easy to manage. Acquired helplessness has created generations unable to move on their own. A human being grew up, but their inner age stood still.' // pic: Knossos palace
