[FONT="Microsoft Sans I was asked to comment " for the magazine ArtUkraine", but I do not comment on the magazine ( Nikita Kadan )[/B][/URL]
This is not the answer to a number of converts to the Eastman Maria Pavlenko issues (this takes time, so I ask those who are just waiting for these answers, the patience - however , some of the requested information we can easily find on the blog of the group) , and the reaction to the very type of a position that has a better chance to become a mass . And it does not answer on behalf of Eastman , and the ratio of private to the case - symptom . Actually , a personal comment I asked " for the magazine ArtUkraine", but I do not comment on the magazine.
A situation where one side of civil liberties are gone , and on the other , to hunger riot case has not yet reached, always disgusting and asphyxiating . Instead of gingerbread crumbs , and they can list - and stick to the master's hand is quite convincing. There is no longer a luxury disobedience , but still have something to lose .
This is the picture of the Ukrainian artistic life [/FONT].

Natalia Zabolotnaya destroyed the work of Vladimir Kuznetsov , fearing discontent of high officials . The exhibitors were unable to take off work to support the artist and thus confirmed that they say , well , punish us for daring if so deserve , nothing can be done , we work on. And those who could pull off , withdrew from the well before the exhibition opens. The lack of solidarity (no, not solidarity is a funny word from Soviet books , but rather a completely pragmatic means of defending the rights of those who have no power ) has become a prominent symptom of poverty , secrecy and a general sense of hopelessness in the Ukrainian art scene . Where to go? - Yes nowhere . Here , there is Arsenal , our main institution , what sort it is.
But even in these conditions, with the extreme shortage of mutual support , to continue to cooperate with Arsenal as if nothing has happened , it is now difficult. At least if one accepts that the artistic process and has an ethical dimension . What artists do not have a mindless songbirds , albeit in a cage at the cruel master .
Feeling the disaster can not accumulate indefinitely under a bushel . Need a qualitative change , a break with the past, some to a new level . No phase of the struggle interaction with Arsenal is clear and self-evident obscenity . If the victory over himself censor does not see the real and the fight against it seems so pointless , you can find the enemy , not as a threatening build. For example, begin to deal with the " totalitarian sect blackmailers ," which is neither 'representative' of someone external to it, or " protector " anyone who did not ask for it - and its activities, the address to general professional and ethical categories. Imagine - there are a lone worker as many arts ( it could be a curator, critic , about different people , " related "), which is engaged in self-defense , and points to the criteria that are common to him and the other workers. The worker - an example , a guinea pig , a particular case , demonstriruschy common processes .
However, such self-defending employee who has the audacity to point to the circumstances in which he is not alone, and becomes a " blackmailer ", " destructive selfish " extraordinarily convenient enemy. He did not paint zamazhet you will not disqualify potential exhibitions and sales, does not expose the threshold "of our major institutions ." You are fighting against him and for the future of " Ukrainian art scene " - and at the same time the interests of the Arsenal boss . Well, it so happened - but you are still critical of the gesture Zabolotnaya , right?
" Boycott the boycott " is an exercise in rhetoric of self-justification . A self-justification becomes stimulated deputy defense.
Also the " boycott boycott " is nonsense - as the status quo is the power to Arsenal for further action in the same spirit. And no one knows who will be punished " for the rage " as follows . Of course , to be well-intentioned and do not talk back , it seems to be and should not be punished. But who knows what the bosses godmother to Arsenal next time, and what it will cause bouts of diligence . Imagine - if not Yanukovych and Putin ? Or if not , Metropolitan of Kiev and Moscow Patriarch ? Maybe someone accidentally get and well-meaning .
However, perhaps the Ukrainian art scene is worthy of his Arsenal . The power that knows how to respond to the " audacity of some artists " supported " boycott boycott " by other artists. Handling of mass discontent ( and it becomes a mass in her eyes ) on the protesters , those who undermine the current impoverished well-being, strengthen the chair, which began to be loose. Will be back soon confident tone in his voice gave the order .
Contribute to changes in the process of dialogue with the institution ? - And I'd like to. But the fact that the institution already knows full well that the part of the artist " Tse CCB reasonableness pіar -Krok i komertsіalіzatsіya Vlasnyi іmenі " that " Tse CCB pіdstupny , zazdalegіd reasonableness Krok on vіdnoshennyu to " Art Arsenal " іz metoyu podalshoї spekulyatsії on Vlasnyi korist " . Yes, that's what I mean - the personal conviction of a functionary and a "knowledge" possessed by Arsenal . This conviction is based on the fact that the " blame the victim ."
Of course , you can come and prove that everything was different , the combination of fear and permissiveness led to the catastrophe that is to change their mind , to admit a mistake , give assurances that this will not happen again. But we must remember that there is no there is no equal dialogue and close. What can hire painters so that you paint over black , hire status sage " tuala " so it gracefully denied you, and if it does not help - so hire security guards kicked you out . But , I'm still going to go to a discussion and talk - without relying on the recognition of the right to Arsenal my speech. Talk like an idiot from the street, pripershiysya a decent place like no how each . And only in this capacity, I have the opportunity to be heard there .
Saying produced in " mutually beneficial cooperation " with Arsenal and in its territory, initially discounted - not tire of repeating it . You say when you gave your word - and located alongside you plug into your mouth this time . And your speech , that she will be critical to justify the right to abuse the very fact of its formality , its recognition. No, if this institution , whether it be as many " pro-government ", " capitalist " and even a " clerical " , she knew that the boundaries of your statement , even the " opposition " , inviolable - then you could work through the principle of independent criticism. Like, I'm here , I'm right on its own statements , you did not get it. But they went and got, no extra internal torment . The brutality of innocence. Now they say , " Come and see us again. We do not believe that we are wrong , do not believe that there was censorship , but you can try again - maybe this time will not notice , do not punish , do not paint over . "
Therefore, failure to cooperate , sanctions for refusing to say - is to protect the content of the statement . External, rather than a " potentially included " attitude makes a meaningful conversation with Arsenal .
The tactic of boycott of artistic or political institutions does not preclude the possibility of the intervention on its territory.
For example , these stickers are available for use on the territory of the " Art Arsenal ", a place where the power of the church and meet with cultural , ready in one form or another to carry out their political order.
