In Deep Water: from Cheryomushki district to the present day.2018The Concept of «The Garden City» that showed up on the surface in the begging of the 20th century have been transformed and rediscovered for decades, but its brightest embodiment in so far deservedly happened to be an international recognition of the ‘microdistrict’.

Low-cost mass housing construction, known as Khrushchyovkas, since 1956 were erected across USSR to replace shaks, halting site bays and wooden barracks, so that millions of Soviet citizens gained a private space at last.

Altered urban planning concept has resulted in its new object which was neither houses or monumental facades nor streets, but the environment. The center of this environment, by design, was the inhabitant. It is according to him the distances to the closest school, sports ground, cinema and park were measured.



If in Cheryomushki, the first experimental microdistrict, well-advertised example of a new life, there were swimming pools and bathhouses across the adjacent area, the following residential building prototypes lacked the good in order to save resources. Life free from frills that were «vigorously removed» in favor of austerity and universality (the new residential housing was projected not as architectural (master)piece, but an industrial product) to cover the very basic needs, namely the bed, toilet and refrigerator for the individual to act productively. It played a part in the creation of the «simple man» construct which was a core element of the Soviet universe, whose world, in turn, was placed between microdistrict and cultural pleasures, centrally produced and distributed.

The exhibition deals with material representation of the mass residential construction through the story of a wall breakdown in a typical Khrushchyovka in Kharkiv. 12-years long correspondence between the subject and the structures vertically traveling up and down like an elevator — and functioning as a sham connection with the sun; alternative sources and shifted aquifer horizons; volatility of structures and enveloping echo of the late modernism, hovering over the Eastern block until today.

There could be main protagonists or composite parts in this story, but they are in deep water, too.

Travmspace2017 - 2020

Travmspace [Emergency room] is a socially-engaged anthology, which functions as an archiver and catalog aimed at preserving documentary evidence, at (re)searching and publication of analog and digital arrays of the Ukrainian context. Through switching between recording and reading of personal histories and public data, we extract and revise contents in the text form and spaces of immediate and mediated, voluntary, forced and unintended. 


Travmspace gives authors the opportunity to be published and gives readers access to a new material 'as it is'. Project is not aimed at artistic writings as its structure falls under literature traditions and assumes the usage of various tricks, techniques and styles; for us, it is important to keep the writings untouched, with flaws, mistakes and uncertainties as they document the subjectivity, class, identity.


Together with the admission of essays, written evidence and diary entries, the initiative works with second-hand text products of organized livelihood, ignoring its applied potential in favor of its artistic and political reading that problematizes the limits of automatism.

We are crossing the field of intertextuality, endowing the turn of speech with the meaning, by virtue of which
the text becomes itself. The mechanics of senses moves, with indefatigable somersaults and acts of addressing,
being a blunt essence in relation to the ideological machine, deconstructing observations and finding the in the constantly self-made dictionary. Here the wind is blowing to the waist, the clothing absorbs small
drops of the rain, and the legs are get bogged down in a loose clay on the edge of time-complex final spots of
existence.

Shelters

				
			
		
	
2018Duration:&#38;nbsp; 16:22


	
	

Video brings you through the walk around the biggest housing complex in USSR, in
present — the sleeping district of Kharkiv, which in 70s has massively been overgrown
with covers and pipes of cellars, and considers the cellar phenomenon in its socio-
economic, everyday, defensive and psychic groundings.

					
While old cities have their ramifide and rich underground architecture, including
collectors, passages and manholes, for the young Soviet district the question of shelters
was solved from below. The combined function of a cellar and a shelter, and their equally
suspended status of a mass underground construction, not subject to legalization, touch
the ambiguity of various kinds.

					
The space of shelter is at the same time viewed as a space of opening, in which protected
and bordered body faces, alone, the open memory of about the external world. Beyond
shelters like this, we experience the adjacent, inseparable state of the mental shelter’s
tight proximity. Here, we are no longer convinced, are we still rescued, or not yet?

This Is Way Over the Line.



2018
From time to time, I’ve been having the same dream of feeling an intersecting body which becomes immensely big and impossibly small, wherein its borders are not to be sensed or drawn — only lived through. So-called us are standing on the past, untwisted in our continuity, not being a part of any agreements concluded before. If one restored the world from memory — a point zero from where a conversation could begin.
In order for statement to be one, it has to have borders. 
Paradoxically, we are dealing with a cryptographic weaving of the symbolic, which not only maintains the uninterrupted control over being and swallows its controversial parts, but denies its own basis as something mythological, leading all production capacities towards serving and reproducing a certain legitimate, universal, basic reality. The power of myth is discovered among abstract base of images, in suitability of overlapping or rewriting, a creative actualization inside the white spots. What and how to be said about yourself always depends on your interlocutor.


The myth of power appeals to the Big History and constitutes the peculiar interpretation of its own, which conceptualizes inalienability of territories, therefore just being a grammatically correct judgement. The distance dissolves myth of power and makes its borders weak and unimaginable. If the simplest symbolic meanings — attributes of statehood — could be reproduced, then the limits of deconvolution are always hidden and secured. The question of scale then can not be solved, as the idea of unity itself abolishes subjects and phenomenons — if they come into conflict in any way.


The border represents territorial limits of power and acts as cultures’ splitter, for cultures which are getting complicated in two radically different directions from each other, where relations between internal and external, given by the myth of power, confer the difference with the negative meaning. The whole idea of delineation thus becomes conflictual, whose main point is not only ignored by birds, animals, insects and smuggling, but also being undermined through everyday practice of graphic end-outline marker reproduction of borderlines from memory, converting the connected lines into a political act.

Kropotkina 112018 - 2019Located in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Supported by European Cultural Foundation
Duration: 1 year











KROPOTKINA 11 is a space for different practices that work with various social, cultural and political events from all times, as a way of rethinking present and its continuity. It’s an artistic&#38;nbsp;project, where сritical theory, aesthetics and community practices merge together, forming&#38;nbsp;a transversal hole which produces a proximity beyond friendship, a possibility of research&#38;nbsp;work beyond institutions, and art outside the museum infrastructure. It is a one-year experiment in a form of an art space, rooted around Felix Guattari’s «A Thousand Plateaus» reading group, that tests what is possible to do right now in a given social, political and economical situation. How could we give artistic replies to the social and political reality which happens to us and next to us, in the space of non-violence and non-collaboration? How spaces left for the existence of a subject, not consumer, bureaucrat or a soldier, could look like?

Ponivecheno

				
			
		
	
2020Duration: 103 min
The film is dedicated to the place and specificities of the situation of the subject in a space of representation of the Ukrainian military structures. 

It is based on found footage, researched and archived by artist from such sources as digital channels of Ukrainian press centers for militarized structures; official secret services channels; the General Staff, the National Guard, the Ministry of Defence TV and radio studios; local field divisions; Joint Forces Operation; state and commercial TV channels; volunteers resources; personal pages of Ukrainian army officers and soldiers. 

The industrial drama, revealed through the 10-second fragments, goes in two directions — the rhythm and the age. The inner stillness of an externally dynamic image allows us to explore the structure of the military machine, which literally captures the subject, cashing the political stakes of representation onto the fabric of population. The image produces connections that refer to the values, respect, choice, and structure the relationships between the figures, stringed on visuality in the context of social justification of the militarization as a necessity measure. 

A digital space formed by the sources becomes a network of relationships between images, the intersection of semantically inscribed content, uncovered inter alia by the means of a narrative. A multi-faceted scan of virtualities establishes a peculiar order of relationships, a social frame, at the same time creating a phenomenon of a so-called protected space, where not only the representation of safety authorities takes place (and therefore being a guarantor of the rule of law), but also the absence of some topics, such as violence conditions, lethal injuries, wounds, tortures, and other consequences of the individual character, is being ensured. 

Each situation of representation brings up a problem of a direct speech and its resources, edit and technical realization, its broadcasting and modes of production of the social constructs — both in language and the dynamic visual clots. These allows to pose the question about the non/artistic character of the material, ways for its interpretation, in particular addressing the participants of the unified temporal schemes of the selective informing — who speaks through the infrastructure of the bodies, through the planes of represented, exhausted paradigm? At the end of the day it’s still an edited video product and therefore a message in time, in where any visual testimony is a weapon.

Two Sides of the River

				
			
		
	
2022
landscape performance












This initially started as a project commenting on a time of a global pandemic, social distancing, and closed borders - a collaboration between Tine Surel Lange and Pavlo Grazhdanskij, curated by Neal Cahoon from Pikene på Broen for Barents Spektakel 2022. We wanted to create direct communication and build bridges between people by sending loud sounds to each other across the Norwegian-Russian border at the Pasvik River. Pavlo on the Russian side of the river, close to Nikel, working with the sounds of two WWII sirens as a sound source, and Tine on the Norwegian side of the river, at Utnes, using field recordings of a foghorn from Sund Fiskerimuseum in Lofoten - a sound known to coastal communities across borders that have always led people into safe havens in rough times.


The day festival started the Russian-Ukrainian war started as well. Unexpectedly, heavily, through the snow, following the incessant messages and video of attacking troops from Ukraine, with a hard feeling of injustice, up north. Very first days protests against the Russian invasion of Ukraine gathered and were suppressed in all big cities. On the contrary, in a small northern town Nikel, no one even talked about the war, not a single word. We made the choice to follow our plan originally programmed as no matter what. My intent has changed: to make these people hear the war siren while they are far from the war, to fill with sound rocky expanses of the north associated with cold quiet beauty.


At the very last minute I was informed that my part of the performance is canceled by the Ministry of Emergency Situations because of the «snowstorm». This must have been some very local snowstorm, because on the Norwegian side of the river, with Nikel in sight, nobody could not see it. The weather forecast showed no surprises.


Standing in a small group of people we heard from the direction of Norway foghorn ambients, so exciting and so unusual that it was hard to believe that this was actually happening. On the other side of the river a huge crowd of people came to see the performance. Some of them were holding banners in support of Ukraine. They listened together in silence for the parts where it should be heard sounds in response, on the other side of the river.


Where do we go from here? This was the theme of the Barents Spektakel 2022, and it coincides with the moment with extraordinary accuracy. The last decade for the Russian cultural context can be described as the inscription of silence as a tradition. This work marked the difference of cultures through the direct witness experience of the viewer.
