Forms of artistic life. Conflict Check

Moscow Museum of Modern Art presents an exhibition project "Forms of Artistic Life. Conflict Check.".

Visitors will evaluate the first project of the program "Forms of artistic life. The Third Place." The program is conceived as a series of exhibition and public projects, each created by two self-organized artistic initiatives from cities in Russia and countries with a socialist past.

Participants create a total installation, the key part of which is the radio play "Radio Dragon," a collection of five audio plays about various conflicts. The installation is complemented by a mural by Ilya Grishaev, a sculpture by Anna Slobozhanina, and a video by Sasha Zubritskaya. The Electrozavod Gallery (Moscow) creates an installation that partially reproduces both the material world of their space and the fabric of interpersonal relationships that form the very essence of self-organization. The Vilnius-based Autarkia space also addresses the experience of the everyday existence of self-organized space and will present a video created based on the documentation of the performances that took place in various parts of the space on the opening day of this year's Baltic Triennale. The media-activist association "Ice Cream Café" will present a video-essay in the style of educational youtube channels, created especially for the exhibition, devoted to labor relations in the environment of artistic production and will examine such a notion as "conflict of interest". The Kreul Center (Almaty/Vienna) will create a board game without rules, where the playing field will be a semi-fantasy map of self-organized initiatives in the former social bloc countries. The association of Ukrainian video artists "Ozbrojeni ta nebespechni" ("Armed and Dangerous") will present several episodes of their video series devoted to the militarization of society and the dangers of the growth of this process.
