With the "war" we are committed scores, Bury overcoat, and went home!

[Art-lover]

Newsworthy for the topic - razmyshlizmy Andrew Velikanova (be it's probably not necessary), inspired by the exhibition of the nominees Innovation.
Wanted first paste this note in the Street art campaign group "War", but he thought that the paradox of chronic irrelevance of contemporary art must be put an edge, but not expanded in related contexts.

Need artist with Chyu without CHSV

In Marshall McLuhan is a saying: "The artist captures the sense of cultural and technological breakthrough in the decade before it actually manifests its transformative impact. He builds models or Noah's ark, to meet future changes." Its usually result when there is a need to define the role of ultimate pathos of the artist in contemporary society. But this quote in the context of Article McLuhan looks not so solemn, seemed at first glance. First, the model and the ark are not meant for resettlement in the world of happiness, not utopia. On the contrary, invented in time to avoid disaster dystopia. For example, McLuhan quotes from Flaubert: "In the war of 1870 would not have the slightest need, if people read my" Sentimental Education. "Furthermore, the pathos of the author quickly replaced by a rather disdainful attitude towards the Noah's ark of art, as in all human history never happened conscious adaptation to the future, "except pathetic and peripheral efforts of artists."

On these statements, I remembered when I went for the exhibition of nominees of the contest "Innovation" in the NCCA. Watching and thinking - all this seriously? This is not a joke? The authors really think that they deconstruct reality and create a new visual language? Still, the term "innovation" requires. I wanted to take some of the artist for a button and, looking into his eyes, ask - it's true Noah's Ark? Do you really think so? But I overcame my desire. I already know what to answer. I would say - you are not in context. You do not understand.

And what if all contemporary art is not in context? Hopelessly lagging behind in 20-40 years from the urgency on which it claims? Even when trying to produce so-called "political art" in the best case is obtained to show the authorities' factor. " Meanwhile, the government quite skillfully maneuvering between the philosophical paradoxes and poststrukturalistkimi paradigms, with the dexterity of a magician creates masterpieces-slogans such as "sovereign democracy." And why did she do it? Well, first of all, do not themselves sovereigns, and specially-trained fighters of the ideological front with a good education, who know perfectly well that the modern media environment peculiar to the crisis of reference and representation. But these fighters separate conversation. But current artists can not even distinguish the presentation of the representation, so they show their "represent." Media environment for contemporary art in the best case is a Facebook for sluggish discussion of the various notes and pictures and exhibiting Laika. Well, as they will build a Noah's ark to break into a new reality? And then soon after the flood of information, we will have to survive somehow ... As without them the ark? .. Even if someone tried to start to deconstruct sovereign democracy!

For quite a long time ago, in 1969 the artist Joseph Kosuth said that philosophy is completely degraded, reduced to the history of philosophy can not resolve the contradiction between the sensual and rational, and therefore the function of knowledge and methods must take on art. And since all of the latest artists are absolutely without a shadow of a sense of humor (Chew), but with an immense sense of self-importance (CHSV) go on exhibitions around their products and arrogant glance at the spectators do not understand. Yes, completeness, Kossuth not been so serious. In each pathos saying only a fraction of pathos, all the rest - Chew. Enough to carefully read articles Kossuth and remember his teacher - Wittgenstein, who superbly prezentiroval (introduced), Psychoanalysis: Freud for its fantastic psevdoobyasneniyami (precisely because they are brilliance of mind) did us a disservice. Now every ass with these images, "explains" symptoms of disease. " But how to explain the symptoms of diseases of modern art?

Poststructuralist authors, both respected current artists say that the modern aesthetic is radically different from the classical one. Previously the subject had the right to make judgments about any taste of reality, but now exist as a subject or subjected to reality pretty strong doubts, so aesthetics entirely reduced to the problem of reference and representation. This leads to the fact that the interests of the field of art sensual disappeared altogether, and his place was taken by "engineering" problem - how it works semiotic mechanism. So why, then, contemporary art occupied almost exclusively by domestic references - the correlation of the members of the art community with each other? Limiting closed, closed, and thus a strict pyramidal hierarchy, which is so abused, Michel Foucault, is peculiar to this community. At the top of the pyramid - Joseph Backstein, and then layers - curators, artists, painters, artists. Viewers do not need at all. This is not postmodernism, and Egyptian art, which, as Plato said, for ten thousand years, nothing has changed. And to date nothing has changed, still the same boring, repetitive passages and exhibition projects, which have no relation to reality.

The only work among the nominees, which attracted my attention, but this video of Polina Kanis "Eggs". Captivates children's spontaneity and the very scarce Chew. But for God's sake, someone from the school teachers Rodchenko taught her idiotic way of forensic lexicon "victim"? This brings to mind the national policy-mugger, who said that the foreign word "slide" we do not need because there is a great Russian word "transparency." Pauline, take off to hell boring explication composed by the theorist and death unichtozhivshiyu your spontaneity! In addition, he forgot to explain to themselves the eggs, but maybe it's for the best, but it would appear archaic, the psychoanalytic interpretation of women's envy of the male genitalia.

As for fashion group War and scandals around her, in my humble opinion it's not worth a broken egg Pauline. Because the action on the Foundry Bridge - just a trivial factor, invektivny gesture, known in ancient times as digitus impudicus, often used in an exchange of courtesies between the government and the mob. Diogenes of Sinope more to show for someone not used the index and middle finger. And this heart-rending, but a meaningless protest, Fronde, aggression must be considered an innovation in modern art? It can only be worthy of mention in the Guinness Book of Records as the biggest factor, and that not a fact. Recently, the ideologist of the "war" Plutser-Sarno stated that the campaign "rubbish kiss" to the group is not relevant because it did expelled from the "war" former members. This is a "stupid, secondary, good-natured banter over werewolves in epaulets", "Children's work, conformist and hopelessly glamorous liberal." Well, perhaps then we must return from Estonia and decide on an adequate fight against werewolves in uniform? In my opinion, "kiss trash" - the only contemporary art event that deserves at least some attention. And the best art event was not fiction. During the Second World War the Germans built much like a real fake wood airfield. The British understood this from a purely English humor thrown onto a wooden airfield wooden bomb. They just deconstruct a reality show its absurdity. And our Russian activists have snuck in there with an ax and hacked to all this painted beauty to the devil, thus confirming their affiliation to the language of the absurd.

Recently, I was convinced that the problem is unusually acute Chyu and its relevance is recognized art community. To record the transfer of "Press Club XXI" on "What to say an artist?" attended by the head of pyramidal hierarchy Joseph Markovich Backstein. Together with an audience ignited artist Alexander Shaburov. Once the discussion was going down in the opinion of Backstein not where it is necessary, he said Shaburov: "Come on!" And Shaburov telling anecdote. By the jokes I did not listen, because this Chyu seems strange to me - the theme was usually anal abuse by the police. But maybe I'm just not in context and do not know that such victimization - one of the major themes to date iskussstve.

I wanted to say on this record a lot ...

About the primitiveness of opposing the traditional art and contemporary art, the spectrum is more complex and richer.

About the fact that "contemporary art" - a term coined, is incorrect. This is just an attempt to translate the "contemporary art" not as "modern art" as well as something else, and then it will get all his contemporaries, who are "not in context." In English actual art - the use of natural forces, is, for example, when a picture of grass grows.

About the fact that the activities Contemporary artist has become a style, repetition mode. If an appropriate method for sometime and there (40 years ago), now this practice has evolved into an endless repetition of tedious, repetitive moves.

Of commercialization do not even want to talk. Construction of Noah's ark could not possibly be paid, neither the state nor the oligarchs, or bandits.

Remnants of Modernism. About attempts to impose its own discourse as the only possible. About the talk of the need to overcome post-modernism, although no post-modernist art, but pathetic and peripheral attempts, has not yet happened.

About the closure of the art community, about the ridiculous hierarchy about the crisis coaching institute, the crisis of institutions, the crisis of the exposure strategy.

But I could not. Backstein said: "The Giants, shut up! Shaburov, come on!" And the jokes flowed ... And when they run out, Backstein motioned and all the art community immediately rose and left the studio. I've seen in insects, the whole swarm instantly change direction. However, of course, the interpretation depends on the point of view, a herd of sheep and a shepherd or pastor, and lambs. But the central symmetry and a pyramidal hierarchy are present in all cases.
