Olga Kisseleva is isolated in Paris where she teaches art and science at the University of Sorbonne. The classes went online, but for Olga it is a very familiar and comfortable mode of being. Olga Kisseleva’s projects are usually based on deep research and require serious preparation. This quarantine was a challenge for her, but she decided to be more flexible and adapt all her ongoing projects to the current situation. As a result, a new edition of her Power Struggle project appeared. The work in progress was launched in 2011 as a commission by Tate Modern. The artist studies the similarities between the behavior of viruses and human behavior in situations of conflict, or difficulty, described in particular by Game Theory. |
POWER STRUGGLE DC *, April–May 2020
In full swing of the pandemic, while the world's attention is focused on the virus and its behaviors, the artist initiates a new series of performances, where she invites high-level specialists in the fields affected by the crisis: medicine, virology, biology, but also finance, politics or culture, to comment on virus confrontations as if they were divergences applied to their own field.

Marina Chernikova
In Amsterdam, Marina Chernikova currently missing out on planned travels, relives her memories of past voyages. Through computer manipulation she unites previous video records of her rambles through the streets of Moscow, Paris and Amsterdam. In this process recognizable and logical images of cities are mixed, multi-layered and reconstructed. Eventually they are transformed into new glitch-like urban landscapes. These become sources of new snapshots and videos and form a new series “Archives of Rambles / 2020”. The artist shows the altered perception of the urban environment by a person immersed in the digital universe.

“An artist is always in isolation” – says Gosha Ostretsov, a Russian artist who is self-isolating with his family in his house surrounded by woods near Moscow. During this quarantine Ostretsov started a new project - “The Forest Dwellers”. The artist focuses on establishing a very intimate connection with nature. He listens to medieval music and walks in the woods which have become his own private temple. From there he brings home weird dry tree branches, draws their portraits, turns them into sculptures and talks to them as if they were actual human beings. The return to the pagan world of primordial unity of humans and trees is helping the artist to cope with stress and uncertainty.

Vladyslav Krasonshchok
Kharkiv, an industrial city in Eastern Ukraine is the home of Vladyslav Krasnoshchok. He is one of the most important representatives of the younger wave of the famous Kharkiv School of Photography. Unlike all other participants of the exhibition he has an additional dimension of his career. Vladyslav Krasnoshchok is a surgeon who has been operating throughout this lock-down in two major hospitals in the city. In parallel he was creating numerous new art pieces – engravings on masks and old newspapers, photos and installations. The artist uses Petri dishes (common cell-growing tools that can be found at any medical laboratory) to create collages filled with nostalgic memories and artifacts from the Soviet past. In his practice Krasnoshchok is focused on the topic of cultural memory and remembering which is especially relevant in contemporary Ukraine which in 2014-2019 went through a painful and ambiguous wave of decommunization and is currently looking for ways to overcome all “forms of forgetting ” of its cultural and political past. |
