Gorky. 8 Colophon Foreword In Transition Russia 2008 is the second in a series of exhibitions and symposia exploringstatesoftransitionincontemporaryhistory.ThefirstwasheldinCyprus in 2006. This year the symposium was hosted by The Ural State Gorky University, Ekaterinburg, Russia, in close proximity to the exhibition affording a gracious venue for dialogue and discussion. After the exhibition and symposium was held in Ekaterinburg, the exhibition traveled to Moscow, Russia. At this time of economic, environmental, political and social crisis, many individuals respond by articulating historic dilemmas and imagining new possibilities. This project aims to support and engage positive and creative dialogue about displacement thatrequiresexpressionandproactivecommitment.Inthissymposiumentitled In Transition: Cultural Identities in the age of Transnational and Transcultural Flux, speakers from twelve countries posed critical and challenging papers exploring many aspects of displacement confronting people today. The conference afforded artists, academics and the audience, an opportunity to engage in dialogue about issues of pressing concern and to acknowledge the realities and dilemmas confronting peoples internationally. As in life, when one sets something - whether it is an object, sound or an idea - in motion, one is never certain nor can control where it will land or stop. So is the case with In Transition Russia 2008. Once launched, the trajectory of the idea In Transition has been propelled much further that we ever imagined. Response to this project has been impressive, with interest and excitement on the part of many curators and academics who have indicated that they would like a version of this project to come to their country so that artists and academics in their region may participate and contributewithinthecontextofaninternationalcollaborativeframework. We hope this project can be built on and the voices and visions of international artists and academics will build over time as additional versions are mounted in the future. This book contains a very small selection of the speakers who provided dynamic momentum to the agency of In Transition. Helene Black, Sheila Pinkel, October 2008, Ekaterinburg, Russia. 11 Вступление Переводчики Александр Каюмов и Александра Клещина In Transition Russia 2008 является вторым мероприятием в цикле выставок и симпозиумов, посвящённых исследованию переходных состояний в текущем историческом периоде. Первое – прошло на Кипре в 2006 году. В этом году симпозиум проходил в Уральском государственном университете им. Горького (Екатеринбург, Россия), недалеко от места проведения выставки, которая стала прекрасной площадкой для диалога и дискуссии. Из Екатеринбурга выставка переместилась в Москву. Перед лицом наступившего экономического, экологического, политического и социального кризиса многие люди формулируют стоящие перед человечеством исторические дилеммы, предлагают новые пути их решения. Целью данного проекта является поддержание и расширение позитивного и творческого диалога по проблеме перемещённости, требующего энергичной и активной позиции. Представляющие двенадцать различных стран участники симпозиума In Transition: Культурные идентичности в национальном и глобальном контекстах представили свои критические и дающие пищу для размышлений доклады, посвящённые исследованию различных аспектов перемещённости, с которыми сталкивается человек в современном мире. Конференция предоставила художникам, учёным и слушателям возможность участвовать в диалоге о насущных вопросах сегодняшнего дня и повысить свою осведомлённость относительно реалий и дилемм, стоящих перед людьми во всём мире. Как в жизни, приведя что-либо в движение, будь то объект, звук или идею, часто нельзя ни предвидеть, ни контролировать то, где и как это движение завершится, – так и в случае с In Transition Russia 2008, будучи запущенной, идея конференции проделала путь, который мы не могли даже представить. Проект вызвал впечатляющий отклик; многие кураторы и учёные дали понять, что хотели бы, чтобы данный проект в той или иной форме пришёл в их страну – чтобы художники и учёные в их регионе могли принять участие в проекте и внести в него свою лепту в рамках международного сотрудничества. На более общем уровне, цель данного проекта в том, чтобы в процессе проведения следующих его этапов собрать воедино голоса и мысли художников и учёных со всего мира. В этом сборнике представлена лишь малая часть докладчиков, ставших движущей силой конференции In Transition. Хелен Блэк и Шейла Пинкель, октябрь 2008, Екатеринбург, Россия. 13 Preface Looking North Last week I wrote a postcard from Cyprus to Australia. Somewhere in that short message I made mention of a “homeland”. I’m not sure now, of what I meant. In a world whose major characteristic, for some time now, has been movement - and especially the movement of people - I have to ask whether those notions of the homeland exist primarily in the zone of nostalgia. (Perhaps the moment when the old notions of the homeland become most visible is during sporting events: such as The OlympicGamesandTheWorldCupandeventhen,theteamsappeartobeartificially and unconvincingly stitched together.) It’s not surprising then, that the experience of displacement has become a foreground issue in the 21st century. As the global shift in population continues and the stranglehold of those old, comforting ideas of borders, language, religion and culture begin to loosen their grip, then displacement becomes a consequence with a rippling- out effect that touches on most lives. So, how do we respond to displacement? Is it a threat? Is it something that can be ignored? Is it just a brief moment - something which will eventually pass? Will the old certainties make a comeback and prevail in the end? We have been witness to the uncertain ways in which politics and politicians have tried to harness their careers to this new force. There have been those politicians who have played the threat card and have mourned the end of purity; then they have been those who warmed to the idea and enthusiastically tried to shape the force into an ideal... perhaps best seen in the creation of a new Europe. But as we should have realised

  • Video Art 11
    Video art 11 Video art Video art is a type of art which relies on moving pictures and comprises video and/or audio data. (It should not however be confused with television production or experimental film.) Video art came into existence during the late 1960s and early 1970s as the new technology became available outside corporate broadcasting and is still widely practiced and has given rise to the widespread use of video installations. Video art can take many forms: recordings that are broadcast, viewed in galleries or other venues, or distributed as video tapes or DVD discs; sculptural installations, which may incorporate one or more television sets or video monitors, displaying €€live•• or recorded images and sound; and performances in which video representations are included.[1][1] Overview Video art is named after the video tape, which was most commonly used in the form's early years, but before that artists had already been working on film, and with changes in technology Hard Disk, CD-ROM, DVD, and solid state are superseding tape but the electronic video signal remains the carrier of moving image work. Despite obvious parallels and relationships, video art is not experimental film. One of the key differences between video art and theatrical cinema is that video art does not necessarily rely on many of the conventions that define theatrical cinema. Video art may not employ the use of actors, may contain no dialogue, may have no discernible narrative or plot, or adhere to any of the other conventions that generally define motion pictures as entertainment. This distinction is important, because it delineates video art not only from cinema but also from the subcategories where those definitions may become muddy (as in the case of avant garde cinema or short films).

  • Window on Cyprus
    WINDOW ON CYPRUS “Cyprus is not a detail, a mere island at the edge of the Mediterranean Sea; today it has been transformed into the fateful centre, where the moral values of contemporary man are at stake. ... For us this is a good moment to forget our passions and our petty cares; for each man of us with his own God- given gifts to follow the path of freedom throughout the land of Cyprus. And we must share her grief, her upsurge, her danger, insofar as we are capable, and surely later on her great joy as well.” Nikos Kazantzakis (From his essay “The Angels of Cyprus”).
