PAPIERS RUSSES Œuvres Russes Sur Papier PAPIERS RUSSES œuvres russes sur papier 14 avril – 6 juin 2009 "Papiers Russes, œuvres russes sur papier" est une exposition collective d’œuvres sur papier de 14 artistes contemporains russes majeurs : Yuri Avvakumov, Gluklya, Nina Kertselli, Alyona Kirtsova, Oleg Kudryashov, Leonid Lamm, Igor Makarevich, Vladimir Nemukhin, Oscar Rabin, Naftali Rakuzin, Mikhail Roginsky, Vladimir Titov, Ira Waldron et Gennady Zubkov. La plupart de ces artistes travaillent le plus souvent avec d’autres techniques. AVVAKUMOV, architecte de formation, réalise des modèles, pratique la photographie et crée des objets. GLUKLYA détourne des vêtements trouvés, tourne des vidéos et fait des performances. KIRTSOVA crée des objets, des collages et peint. LAMM est reconnu pour ses installations, ses peintures, ses collages et ses photographies. MAKAREVICH, dont le travail sera cette année exposé à la Biennale de Venise et au Kunsthistorisches Museum de Vienne, construit des installations, réalise sculptures, peintures et photographies. Célèbre pour ses huiles sur toile, RABIN, l’un des fondateurs du mouvement des artistes non-conformistes russes, est un maître du sujet et de la composition. TITOV travaille lui aussi sur toile, incorporant souvent des éléments de collage dans ses oeuvres. WALDRON se sert de tissus, d’installations, de photographies et de gravures. ZUBKOV, disciple du Groupe de Sterligov, est connu pour ses grandes peintures colorées, mêlant également parfois des collages. Si KERTSELLI, KUDRYASHOV et RAKUZIN sont surtout connus pour leur travail sur papier, ROGINSKY l’est lui pour ses œuvres sur carton. NEMUKHIN, l’un des piliers de l’art non-conformiste russe, est quant à lui représenté par une gouache sur papier de 1965. Chaque artiste utilise ici différentes techniques comme l’huile (Roginsky), l’acrylique (Makarevich), l’aquarelle (Gluklya, Nemukhin, Rabin), le crayon (Kertselli, Rakuzin), le stylo (Titov), le collage (Kertselli, Kirtsova, Rabin), la photographie (Makarevich), la gravure (Kudryashov) et la sérigraphie (Lamm, Waldron). Souvent, les artistes expriment sur papier un côté parfois plus fantasque, plus spontané ou plus humoristique de leur travail. En revanche, l’intimité en est l’élément commun. YURI AVVAKUMOV Né à Tiraspol (Russie) en 1957, Yuri Avvakumov vit et travaille aujourd’hui à Moscou. Il est diplômé de l’Institut d’Architecture de Moscou où il enseigne également de 1983 à 1988. A cette même époque, il fonde “Les Architectes de Papier”, un groupe d’artistes travaillant dans les années 1980 sur des projets architecturaux utopiques. En 1993, il crée la Fondation Utopique à Moscou où sont déposés des dessins russes d’architecture utopique. La Fondation a participé à de nombreuses expositions dans le monde en particulier à la Biennale de Venise en 2003. En tant qu’architecte, Avvakumov participe à de nombreux projets internationaux. Il a été notamment sélectionné par la Fondation Guggenheim pour dessiner un projet de complexe muséal à Abu Dhabi. Ses œuvres font aujourd’hui partie de collections de musées internationaux tels que le Victoria & Albert Museum à Londres, le Deutsches Architekturmuseum à Frankfort, le Musée Russe à Saint-Petersbourg ou la Galerie Tretyakov à Moscou.

L’œuvre de la FVT est dédiée aux problèmes sociaux de l’homme, exprimés au travers de ses gestes personnels. En évoquant le féminin, le maternel et l’infantile, les artistes visent toujours un symptôme concret du malaise social. Le vêtement en tant que déguisement du corps est resté leur médium principal pendant une longue période de leur travail. Aujourd’hui, l’évolution de la FVT s’accompagne du travail distinct de chacune des artistes et poursuit l’objectif d’une interaction intense avec le quotidien, du contact direct destiné à souligner le pathos social. Sans jamais perdre leur (auto)ironie, Gluklya et Tsaplya affirment que « la vocation de l’artiste est d’être un combattant et non, un décorateur ».

  • NY ACKER Awards Is Taken from an Archaic Dutch Word Meaning a Noticeable Movement in a Stream
    1 THE NYC ACKER AWARDS CREATOR & PRODUCER CLAYTON PATTERSON This is our 6th successful year of the ACKER Awards. The meaning of ACKER in the NY ACKER Awards is taken from an archaic Dutch word meaning a noticeable movement in a stream. The stream is the mainstream and the noticeable movement is the avant grade. By documenting my community, on an almost daily base, I have come to understand that gentrification is much more than the changing face of real estate and forced population migrations. The influence of gen- trification can be seen in where we live and work, how we shop, bank, communicate, travel, law enforcement, doctor visits, etc. We will look back and realize that the impact of gentrification on our society is as powerful a force as the industrial revolution was. I witness the demise and obliteration of just about all of the recogniz- able parts of my community, including so much of our history. I be- lieve if we do not save our own history, then who will. The NY ACKERS are one part of a much larger vision and ambition. A vision and ambition that is not about me but it is about community. Our community. Our history. The history of the Individuals, the Outsid- ers, the Outlaws, the Misfits, the Radicals, the Visionaries, the Dream- ers, the contributors, those who provided spaces and venues which allowed creativity to flourish, wrote about, talked about, inspired, mentored the creative spirit, and those who gave much, but have not been, for whatever reason, recognized by the mainstream.

  • Going Everywhere and Nowhere from Moscow to the Urals – How Curatorial Delusions of Global Grandeur Betray Russian Art
    GOING EVERYWHERE AND NOWHERE FROM MOSCOW TO THE URALS – HOW CURATORIAL DELUSIONS OF GLOBAL GRANDEUR BETRAY RUSSIAN ART BY SIMON HEWITT I : A MOSCOW MIRED IN MEMORIES A BANNER was dangling from the giant triumphal portico of VDNKh, beneath the two collective farmworkers brandishing their bale of straw. It advertised the 6th Moscow Biennale – the number 6 allotted spiralling arms to resemble a Catherine Wheel. But the banner was challenged by a bigger hoarding wheeled on to the piazza below, blowing the trumpet of a separate festival called Circle of Light . The Biennale’s main show was taking place just behind Lenin in VDNKh’s Central Pavilion (also known as Pavilion N°1), erected in 1954 and topped by a 350-foot spire modelled on the St Petersburg Admiralty. The Biennale was meant to open at noon. I tried to find the entrance but couldn’t. There were no signs. No information about where and when the Biennale could be visited. Yuri Albert’s immortal line breezed through my mind: The Biennale cannot and will not take place . The 6 th Moscow Biennale had been having well-publicized financial problems. Was it so bankrupt that it had ceased to exist, morphing instead into a Conceptualist joke? VDNKh, six miles north of Red Square, was the sixth venue for the Moscow Biennale’s main exhibition. It had previously been held in the former Lenin Museum near Red Square; the under-construction Federation Tower at Moscow City; the newly restored Garage (now Jewish) Museum during its brief Abramovich/Zhukova tenancy; the renovated ArtPlay cultural and commercial complex; and, in 2013, the Manezh.

This selection is led by Vasily Vereshchagin‟s undisputed masterpiece Crucifixion by the Romans (see separate release) offered on behalf of the Brooklyn Museum and by two pairs of exquisite vases produced by the Imperial Porcelain Factory under Emperor Nicholas I. The sale will also feature over forty works of art by Fabergé, many distinguished by their rare Imperial provenance.

  • 2Nd International Workshop on Durability and Sustainability of Concrete Structures 6-7 June 2018, Izmailovo Congress Center, Moscow
    2nd International Workshop on Durability and Sustainability of Concrete Structures Final Invitation and Program 6-7 June 2018, Izmailovo Congress Center, Moscow CO-SPONSORED BY: Preface Modern construction is unthinkable without concrete, the world production and consumption of which is about 10 billion m3 per year. Given the steady growth of the world’s population by 2050, it is expected to double this volume, which will undoubtedly be significantly affected on energy consumption and increase global CO2 emissions. Concrete is perhaps the most universal building material since the beginning and development of civilization. It is sufficient to recall the Great Wall of China, the palaces and temples of Ancient India, the pyramids of Ancient Egypt, the unique buildings of Romans, made with the use of lime-pozzolanic binders. Universality of concrete is defined by simplicity and convenience of its production, rather low cost, structural integrity and homogeneity, durability and a long service life under various aggressive environments. However, the concrete image is sometimes not favorable. It is associated with greater labor intensity of construction works and dismantlement, massive structures, a large impact on the environment in connection with the consumption of not renewable natural resources. The same perception is greatly facilitated by the fact that, according to Gigaton Throwdown Initiative, «the cement industry is responsible for about 5-7% of total CO2 emissions, or 2.1 Gt per year». Indeed, when producing cement clinker about 0.9 t CO2/t clinker are produced. Taking into account the annual increase in the production and use of Portland-based cement (more than 4.1 million tons per year) that is the main binder used in the production of concrete, this fact poses a significant threat to humanity as a whole.

    B 20004 F GW ISSN 0001 - 0545 BULLETIN OF THE ANTIBOLSHEVIK BLOC OF NATIONS ON THE DEATH OF OLENA ANTONIV The news cut through the heart with a knife. They have killed Olena Antoniv, Mrs. Olena, Olenka. She was neither a poet, nor an artist, nor a composer. She did not write poetry. She did not compose music. She herself was music, a living melody of kindness and friendship in a savage empire of evil and cruelty. Because of this, the stupid, the cruel, the evil and the savage hated her. And they have killed her. Family, friends, the city of Lviv, the adornment of which was Olena Antoniv, have been left orphans. Together with all those persecuted for honesty in and outside Ukraine w'e are in deep sorrow, bidding farewell today... to yet another broken melody. Olena Antoniv and son Taras Svyatoslav Karavansky and Nina Strokata Munich, February 7, 1985 USSR News Brief issued the following: On February 4, in the Ukrainian city of Lviv, Olena Antoniv was killed in a car accident. Mrs. Antoniv, who was the wife of former political prisoner and poet Zinoviy Krasivsky, was very active in the framework of the Fund to Aid Political Prisoners and for this was strongly attacked in the Soviet mass media. On February 6, in Lithuania, the priest of the Cathedral of Rudamina Jozas Zdebskis was also killed in a car accident. J. Zdebskis, aged 57 was ordained a priest in 1952. In 1978 he became one of the founders of the unofficial Catholic Committee to Defend the Rights of Believers.
