Monolith(2007), a video work by the Estonian artist Kristina Norman, focuses on the history of the conflict surrounding Tallinn’s “Bronze Soldier” monument of 1947, dedicated to those who fell in the Second World War. Here, the unattractive, shady aspects of the careers of renowned artists and curators are revealed, as well as the characters’ entangled relationships and ethical contradictions. Comics reveal scenes from the life of the international arts community in the form of caricatures. The Serbian collective Zampa di Leone present a new installation Zampa's Traces: A Shadow Art History of the 2000s, which includes drawings, caricatures, newspapers, fanzines and documentation of the collective’s performances from the last eight years. Within the exhibition, a mysterious19th-century engraving is included along with the other works, inviting visitors to imagine possible links between the engraving and these very individual artists. The curators have prepared an audio-guide entitled Routes of Doubt that will lead each visitor to discover the various layers of meaning in the works within the wider history of conspiracy theories. Bringing together works that take as their starting point a critical rethinking of reality through personal experience, everyday observations, skepticism and conspiracy theories, the exhibition presents new works created especially for the show, as well as others that are new to Russian viewers.
Doubt is similarly at the center of this show, which questions if the phenomena is a form of skepticism, or an inevitable experience of anxiety for anyone entangled in the contradictions of the modern world. A nagging doubt, however, leads the central female character to the discovery of an unpleasant truth about her uncle. The film’s action takes place in the context of a happy and prosperous American family. The exhibition’s title Shadow of a Doubt is a reference to the classic Alfred Hitchcock film of the same name. Bringing together works that take as their starting point a critical rethinking of reality through personal experience, everyday observations, skepticism and conspiracy theories, the exhibition presents new works created especially for the show, as well as others that are new to Russian viewers.Īlexei Buldakov, Kristina Norman, Alexander Povzner, David Ter-Oganyan, Mykola Ridnyi, Zampa di LeoneĬurators: Ilya Budraitskis and Maria Chehonadskih
