| Dutch-Russian art project-action |
|
| For "Debates and Credits" 4 artists / collectives from the Russian Federation and 4 artists / collectives from the Netherlands have been invited to develop art projects that operate at the intersection of media and public space. |
These artists represent a new generation that is no longer interested in the heritage of the former "underground" in the east, or the anaemic neo-conceptual art spaces of the west. The new generation concerns itself much rather with media, with the dilapidation of the cityscape, streets and facades littered with aggressive advertisement campaigns, which particularly in the streets of Moscow have acquired a "special quality of their own". This generation is no longer satisfied with clinical spaces, isolated art spaces disconnected from the rest of society. They seek new places where they can manifest their presence: electronic media - television and internet -, billboards, advertisement campaigns, posters, public space and urban architecture, are transformed into new surfaces and media that can carry their poetic and political messages.
