Oslo-based illustrator Kine Andersen retrospects the normality through the colourful pop-art lens . Her visual technique, beyond being consistent in narrative content, multiply the isolation and angst of small-town life in the north. Despite this fact she is not spending much time on self-reflection but creating a lot of commissioned work for leading editorials.

“I have a hard time understanding my own feelings, so it is easier to draw them. I felt like an alien most of my teenage years, therefore my illustrations are very lonely.””

“In my work I am interested in the notions of sublime and elusion, entering into a meditative process akin to a dream-like state. The real and the fantasy weave together, hiding behind the masks, threads and layers. Expression is channeled through those shapes, finding its intention and force both in the normality and in the surreal.

The method I use in my work is based on constructing an image or an object starting from the small building blocks, which, when gradually put together, let the pattern of the whole emerge. I like to reconsider materials and shapes, finding new ways to inscribe them into the real through the imagination and moments of improvisation that occur in repetitive work.”

Interactive installation SOLE produced by artistic duo Quite Ensemble (Fabio di Salvo and Bernardo Vercelli)

The space floats in a suspended time, inhabited by the sun's rays and the moving shadows that dominate the surrounding architectures. The audience crosses a timeless place, where time is different, where sunrise and sunset meet, the suns are multiple and the twilight drowns in a stroboscopic dawn. A 360 degree video-mapping that, thanks to the use of 49 video projectors, simulates the movement of the sun around and inside the hall of the Salone degli Incanti in Trieste.

4 years of dedicated team-work during free time was not what Brooklyn-based VFX artist Danil Krivoruchko expected to spend to get the enormous results. Danil proves that everything can be done if it is started and planned. Here come the long waited release of an indie short sci-fi film Blindsight based on the eponymous sci-fi novel by Peter Watts.

The movie release is accompanied by the epic website created by Anton Repponen

@marcosanziani

Young artist Marcos Anziani born in Dominican and based in New York brings a new breathe into the highly esteemed neo-expressionism. His artistic dialect is close to that of such artists as Willem de Kooning, Joan Miro and Jean Michel Basquiat. In each of paintings, Marcos aims to 'curb' the energy of color within the framework of a canvas. He combines abstract forms with primitivist images of people and objects done in simple lines.

Various, mostly warm, colors balance the artistic chaos of forms in Marcos' paintings. His compositions remind us of Kandinskiy's abstractions. Marcos is actively evolving as an artist and seeks for an art that would continue the ways of the great artists of the XXth century.

Anziani understands painting as a means of expressing his emotions and thoughts. While working, he imagines himself being inside the painting and concentrates on one particular image or idea, finds a way to express them through painting and then develops the whole painting around them. He builds the composition from the inside, fully giving himself to it, and that produces actually sincere 'portraits' of the inner feelings of the artist, prints of the fly of his imagination.

Marcos Anziani is exclusively represented by ASKERI GALLERY in Russia

Continuum Remix v.2 is the second in a series of works by Krista Kim in collaboration with Efren Mur (@efrenmur) and Ligovsko"i (@ligvsk) to be released on Sedition Art platform. Continuum Remix v.1 was launched in Summer 2020 as part of the @Digital.Decade SE 2020 collection, curated by us - @Designcollector Network.

“Meditation will save us from the machine; art will save us from ourselves. I believe in the healing and transformational power of visual art + sound + meditation on an individual and a social level.
Our future is unknown and unstable. There are difficult times ahead due to social and economic unrest due to pandemic risk, digital disruption, automation and climate change. Collective fear is undeniable, but we cannot allow ourselves to be dominated by fear — we must face the unknown with open hearts and mindfulness. In chaos, there is creative opportunity. We must create a better future with compassion and love.
My collaboration with Efren Mur (video artist) and Ligovsko"i (electronic music band) was created during the COVID-19 crisis. Our purpose is to present a vision of meditativeness and digital beauty to collective consciousness. The world is forever changed, and we must adapt with mindfulness, self care and connection to creative energy that will help us navigate the unknown.”

Studio Studies is a series of video interviews with St. Petersburg artists and a logical continuation of the work with the artists' studios, which was launched as part of the 1st Curatorial Forum. Then, in the fall of 2019, the artists of St. Petersburg opened the doors of their studios to the public. The program called Open Studios raised important questions about the ethics of visiting and hospitality, the attitude of the artist and the public, and the very essence of these private spaces.

In 2020, we continued to work with the studios, now in an exploratory way, to clarify for ourselves, the audience, and the artists the designated "blind spots". We revised the format of open studios in favor of videos about the artist's life in the studio. This decision was also forced by the epidemiological situation, in which we think it is right to avoid mass visits to the studios.

Calling the series Studio Studies, we appeal to an already existing field of knowledge, relatively developed in European and American art criticism. Studio Studies is an area of knowledge that explores the artist's studio as an ecosystem of aesthetic and material production, and as a place that defines the entire future cultural process. We asked questions about the artist's daily life, looked at internal processes and relations with the outside world, i.e. we were engaged in topology and ethics of these special spaces.

Based on a research perspective, we invited artists representing different types of contemporary art: painters, graphic artists, sculptors, photographers, media artists, activists, etc. in order to see, perhaps, the specific routine of each direction.

Studio Studies

Государственный Центр Современного Искусства в Санкт-Петербурге (Северо-Западный филиал ГМИИ им. А.С. Пушкина) @ncca_northwest при поддержке «Фонда поддержки инноваций и молодежных инициатив» представляют первую часть спецпроекта Studio Studies – девять видео-интервью с петербургскими художниками в их мастерских.

Studio Studies – логическое продолжение работы с мастерскими художников, начатой осенью 2019 года. В рамках 1-го Кураторского форума была запущена программа Open Studios: во время Art Weekend художники Петербурга открыли двери своих мастерских для широкой аудитории. Программа, сфокусированная на этике посещения и гостеприимства, отношениях художника и публики, а также на самой сути этих приватных пространств, оказалась успешной.

В 2020 году работа с мастерскими продолжается, теперь уже в исследовательском ключе. Формат открытых мастерских был пересмотрен в пользу фильмов о жизни художника в мастерской (или о жизни мастерской).

Мастерская художника – это пространство со своей экосистемой, как правило закрытое для широкой публики. В серии видеоинтервью исследуется повседневная жизнь художника в мастерской и таким образом десакрализуется художественный труд.
