Moscow Shiryaevo this year presents the project "Pirates». "Pirates" - part of the overall project Biennale "Foreigners: between Europe and Asia." Foreigners, like pirates, can take any space. On the other hand, they all go - home. Is not this a metaphor for any artist and modern art in general? Transnationally and it can "grab" someone else's space. Remember, it all began? When Marcel Duchamp exhibited a urinal is not done to them and signed it his name, that is "assigned" him.
Curator "Pirates" Alexander Panov, it appears that the modern artist - a pirate. He is everywhere a stranger, but, on the other hand, it is open to the whole world. Yet he acts as a kind of invader.
in the project "Pirates" will be attended by Sergei Shutov, Sergei Katran, Vladimir Potapov, Ivan Lungin, etc.

In the Shiryaev yesterday had already begun some actions to create objects, but all parties are still in Moscow did not come today to await Panova Lungin.
But artists from Germany, Sweden, Estonia, France is all there, too, and something in the Shiryaev will do. What will be - as far as I understand, still in the process, but here's one artist has already undertaken a survey of local "What do you know about Germany?" and the answers will be used once in its work, will be created based on these kind of local Wikipedia.
But while they spend the morning with author presentations, then just talk, hang out, which is also important: even during a joint lunch it comes to art, remember the exhibition, the objects in them, someone gives them a vision of the concept. This interaction of different artists from different countries must, of course, this creates some ideii future projects, for example.

And Sergei Katran yesterday with his sons began to create his "Torrentovu tower," they gathered in an interesting place for her design.
On 6 and 7 photographs of the author can even see this message, and the last three - just type in the village Shiryaevo.

I wonder if a lot of people in general ?

I was there on Monday , yesterday.
At the presentation of projects - yes, all communicate in English but also between participants and language spoken - English, Russian is less , of course.
The people there were not many , mostly members and then , some have not arrived by then.
Key spectators and journalists , of course, come the 20th to the nomadic show , the crowd will go from site to site , and authors will display their work, telling , etc.
But I have until the 20th I will go further in Shiryaevo and see the creation, it is also interesting.
And about the exhibition itself biennalnye Samara Ladies here obzorchik small .

Actually , as far as I understood , the event is , indeed, even with a focus primarily on international players. And yet , that the Biennale has been held in the seventh time , but ... information about them , especially in recent years has been a little bit. Now you, Cyril, first visited her , for example? Or even earlier had ?

And yet , I understand that no sketch can illustrate the events and objects exhibited this activity. Because the whole point is that everything is in place.
Because especially are looking forward to reporting about " nomadic show."

That you, Cyril, first visited her, for example?

Yes, for the first time.
On the previous biennials (of 2009) was already a lot of information, and before that, of course, knew about Shiryaev in Europe for the most part.
Western artists have participated in practice and in previous times.

Reported. But the next day. I'm just a boat, it is necessary to process photographs come to life. >
I must say that I, at this nomadic show all very, very pleased about something, I guess for some preparatory things, but participants from Germany, France, Sweden and Estonia remained until the end of the intrigue and sometimes it's of course and amazed and surprised and fun, were very truly powerful things. I do not know how the documentation of performances have been organized curators (saw filmed several TV cameras, but photos of performances is difficult to document, I think), but an action should go down in history art, it was, in my opinion, simply brilliant performance.
Tomorrow will tell. >

It all started at the pier with the arrival of ships from Samara with the audience.
Priehavshiv met pervomans People Detection /Detector Public
Authors - Swedish artists Weibull Greta /Greta Weibull and Klas Eriksson /Klas Eriksson.
Well , everything is clear : the artists , dressed in the guards greeted arrivals , build them in a queue for processing in a special box , inspect carry-on baggage , checked with the detector, which publishes various sounds and even searched. >

At p . 1 - "our" Russian curators ( Nelly Korzheva , Alexander Panov and Roman Korzhev ) greeted arrivals ;
but the " check" his team gave a loud in Swedish and a few timid people , I thought ;
the last ip . - Alexander Panov passes inspection . >

Everybody loved Torentova Tower /The Torrent's Tower Sergei Katrana created from a DVD-ROM drive that everyone can be exchanged for their own. This visualization of virtual torrentovyh downloads, piracy, of course. >

This object is liked everything there is always someone taking pictures on its background and its good to be seen from the river flowed interesting drives in the evening when the wind swayed them gently, and poured it pvsya like moving. This object is set before Sergei Katran all and all in TV crew priezzhavschie Shiryaevo to show her nomadic and filmed, interviewed the author, for example,
But S. Katran permormans also made before the tower - "cooked" Information Soup /The Informational Soup of the discs, he helped his sons Daniel and Matthew. The photographs from the author of the ladle in his hand. >

By the way, at the end of nomadic show when people are pulled to the dock on boats to serve in Samara, I noticed that a tower next to the S. and A. Panov Katranom people all the time. He came up and realized that this "information soup" they are bottled and podchivayut comers. By the color of the drink, I realized that this was some kind of light wine, and it became clear that there is a wine for guests Biennale vidut nice conversation about art with the Moscow art critic and artist. >

Here is the performance by artists from Germany, I really liked:
 Birds /The Birds
Martin Geiger Gerlach /Martina Geiger-Gerlach
Catherine Sohn /Kathrin Sohn
Barbara Karsh-Shaeb /Barbara Karsch-Chaïeb
Rücker Rosa /Rosa Ruecker

Four German women sing (very good, by the way, voice, singing in general, permanent and important part of the group performances, as I understand) Russian song "Because of the island to the rod ...", where there are lines of: " And it throws overboard a wave came running ".
At the same time singing a Russian song Germans in the Volga River that same part where exactly is the dramatic action of this folk song, and under his singing goes into the Volga River with his head!
It is hard to imagine from the photos all this action, but it was very unexpected, beautiful, with lots of meanings, etc.
And, most importantly for me, for example, without teatralschiny, sometimes in performances there. Just go to the women singing the Volga ...

Let me remind you the lyrics:

Because of the island to the rod,
Into the open river waves
Swim painted
Stenka Razin canoes.

On the front Stenka Razin
From a young princess sitting -
The wedding was celebrating a new,
The very merry, and tipsy.

And she, having closed eyes,
Is not alive and not dead
Silently listening to drunken
Atamanovo words.

Behind them can be heard murmuring:
"We traded for a woman!
Only the night with her provozhzhalsya,
The very next morning a woman was. "

This grumbling and derision
Hears a terrible chieftain
And the mighty hand
Embraced the Persian camp.

Black eyebrows came together -
Approaching storm.
Red blood nalilisya
Atamanovo eyes.

"Nothing to regret,
Head violently give up -
A voice commanding
The neighboring shores.

"Volga, Volga, mother dear,
Volga - Russian River,
Have not seen you gift
From the Don Cossack.

In order to avoid contention
Between the free people
Volga, Volga, mother dear,
Here, take a beautiful woman! "

A powerful wave of raises
It a beautiful princess
And it throws overboard
In the wave came running ...

"What, you devils, depressed?
Hey you, Shary, hell, Pľaša!
Gryanem, brothers, boldness
At the mention of her soul ...»

Here, I even found a woman's performance of this song:

Further along the parade were:
Object A strange gift /Strange gift
Jürgen Platzer /Jörgen P. Platzer ( Sweden)
Graffiti on a swamp (or as I like the graffiti on the water ) Susanin /Susanin
Erbossyn Meldibekov /Erbossyn Meldibekov ( Kazakhstan)
and it is stop ( or 200 square meters).

By Jorgen Platzer already podabratsya was difficult - a lot of people were . E. Meldibekov work , for example, I previously photographed , before the show . To show to a halt already overcrowded .
