EXHIBITION: CAPITAL OF NOWHERE
Envisioning a variable landscape...
In traditional societies, generations would come and
go much faster than habitat would change. Catastrophes changed
landscapes, be it natural or human in origin - from volcano eruption to
migration to asteroid to cultivation. In contemporary times, variety is
introduced quickly into landscapes by prosperity or adversity. Over the
last century, industrialization, urbanization, revolution, wars,
construction and reconstruction – each lead to a generation living under
conditions different than previous ones.
The exhibit "CAPITAL OF NOWHERE" is about life in a changing landscape during the Information Age…
Among 13 exhibited artworks personalizing effects of
industrialization, urbanization, revolution, wars, construction and
reconstruction are Alexandra Dementieva's interactive "Breathless"
translating exhalation digitally into light and words, Vitaly
Pushnitsky's hybrid painting-projection "Waiting" juxtaposing the
transpiring of a sunrise over the existence of archaic columns, Elena
Gubanova and Ivan Govorkov's sculptural “Generations” physically uniting
decades of doors in solidarity; performances by collective Mylo
screened on Soviet era soap. Contributions by CYLAND CoFounders include
Anna Frants' new media installation "Cloud that Smells Blue" which
inverts the relationship between oneself to the world and Marina
Koldobskaya's ideal city painted on found fragments of old furniture.

Films in this program are addressed to a genius loci -
the protective spirit of a place, the cultural and historical landscape
paradigm. In this series of videos the city is St Petersburg, a place
that has changed its name, spirit and character more than once. Hero to
darker figure, classical or revolutionary, the faces of the city are
multiple and illusory as seen through the eyes of the artists it
harbors... Full List of Videos and Summaries >
