VIII Shiryaevo Biennale - The artists

VIII Shiryaevo Biennale 

10.08 — 25.08 INTERNATIONAL CREATIVE LABORATORY WORKS IN SHIRYAEVO.

“SCREEN: BETWEEN EUROPE AND ASIA”


Curator Nelya Korzhova 

Theme of biennial 2013 is "Screen: between Europe and Asia." In focus of artistic research is the question about communication: where and how the field of communication passes to the line of demarcation. An important part of the structure is the biennial international art laboratory that conducted the experiment of contemporary art in the Russian village for two weeks. The peculiarity of this phase is living of artists during the Biennale in the homes of local residents. This condition of "immersion" into the local cultural environment is seen as a method of creating irrelative or "ideal" environment for artistic expression. The basic idea of such an experiment - to give the artist a chance to 'start working from scratch', without the pressure of accumulated image and technologies of arts market. Each time the invitees become a team of associates working on the creation of individual and collaborative projects using the "local" materials and opportunities, and building a common route of presentation - "nomadic show."
