TANATOS BANIONIS

in 2008 a group of russian artists have gathered anonymously into the art group tanatos banionis. among all projects they've made my favorite one is divine wind. the thing was that 5 girls had agreed to sacrifice their backs for the huge tattoos, dedicated to the portraying of the heroic deeds of 5 japanese kamikadze. the exhibition was held in moscow museum of contemporary art and included photos of model's backs, video of the tattos making process, movie about kamikadze and many other interesting things. in one word, it was amazing))

NEOPEPPERSTEIN

this artwork i've dedicated to the 3rd moscow biennale of contemporary art, it was inspired by one of the main project's paintings american whale and black square by pavel pepperstein. i uses badges for artists as a background, torn the invitations for the main project opening for the lines in the right side, used stickers with artists names for one side of the corner, and printed artworks of pusto project for the other. newspaper used in the upper corner is with article about biennale, and the 'eye' was made from the pin that was made for biennale visitors by afisha publishing house. black square in the middle in a fragment of invitation for the special biennale guest opening - present-past by olga chernysheva. 

LITTLE COLLECTION OF LEGS

LUC TUYMANS IN MOSCOW

it's me on the opening of luc tuyman's exрibition in moscow art space baibakov art projects, which is located on the ex-chocolate factory red october - it is now tunred into the art area because goverment moved all factories away from the city closer to the suburbs. on the one hand it's very right, but i live in the area of this factory and when i was a child i used to pass that embankment where it stands on my way to school an if the wind was right it always smelled like chocolate)) and i stopped there and smelled it like charlie from roald dahl's book)) good memories))

PLACE OF WORK

it's funny - my dad gifted me a little sculpture of vladimir putin as a joke long ago)) i liked that white head and it used to stand at the place where i draw for a long time)) now i lost it, as many other things that disappear in my studio))

1ST POST))

today, on the 1st of november, 3rd moscow biennale of contemporary art has been officially closed. it started on september 25 and was supposed to last till 25th of october, but due to the extraordinary amounts of people willing to attend the main project in the center of contemporary culture garage, it was a bit prolonged. i was working in the organizing team of the main project, curated by jean-hubert martin, also helped spencer tunick to organize his moscow shooting, worked in press center of biennale and made a media campaign of the first russian excibition of luc tuymans, organized by baibakov art projects. unfortunally i didn't have time to make blog during the biennale, but that was the time when i realised that moscow is becoming more and more close to the world art prosesses, and i decided to share some arty news from russia, we have lots of things going on here))
