“To go from Goya to Eisenstein, you have to go through me” – Kommersant

In the “Garage” opens the exhibition “Evidence” that represents three artists: Francisco Goya, Sergei Eisenstein and Robert Longo. Engravings of Goya, fragments all its movies and its graphics and drawings Longo here enter into an unusual dialog. Robert Longo, American schedule and the film johnny Mnemonic, one of the main paintings in the style of cyberpunk, acts as not only a participant but also a co-curator (together with Kate Fowle of the project. On the eve of the opening of the exhibition Igor Gulin talked to him about the role of the artist in different eras, art and politics and about the images that remain eternal despite the changes of technology

In this exhibition you like to choose two father figure. What’s your relationship with Eisenstein and with Goya?

I think art history is something like a tool that allows the artist to create. It can be thought of as a ladder. Here, Goya, Eisenstein here. I get up on those stages to get to where we are.

And yet, despite a common history of art, this neighborhood looks a little eccentric. Goya — especially the artist anxiety and Eisenstein, on the contrary, enthusiastic. You have the same art — something between these two feelings. How would you connect them?

This exhibition is something of a pastiche, a collage. This is a clash. Here have two cars, but when they collide, there is a third thing — a crash. So here, to go from Goya to Eisenstein, you have to go through me. But they are actually a lot of similarities — for example, how they paid for the opportunity to do as they had to grovel for it. Artists who wanted to create large canvases had to work on either the Church or the kings. To remove Soviet films had to work for the government.

And you don’t think that Eisenstein otherwise would not exist? To some extent, the ideology and made it the art of the possible.

I think it’s still in the media. To make a movie or a huge canvas, with the necessary financial support. The artist uses the ideology to pay for their art. I don’t think that I was as much of a Communist. Previously I did not pay attention to the political nature of his films, only later learned that they were used as a means of repression. But first and foremost great movies. Therefore, at the exhibition we slow down, we remove all the credits.

That is, you leave them only the form? Pure image?

It. After all, they are brilliant. It’s not just propaganda.

But in your art there is a certain ideological component. Or you just want to make beautiful things?

No, of course I have political views. I create art because I see things that bother me. For example, a fighter with my drawings. Incredibly beautiful things, but they are created to bring death. It does bother me.

I think this is yet another important object of reference for art — equipment. You seem to have always been interested in metaphysics equipment — from cyberpunk johnny Mnemonic” to the drawings of weapons, fighters. But the technique, the medium and associated with religion and politics?

you Know, when I was working on a series of “Divine machines”, I came to the conclusion that religion was the first great technology. Because the machine is needed in order to move us without having to move. This is what makes religion. Technique in this sense, offers nothing new. I do like the idea of new ideas is actually there. Just the forms change. I sometimes think, I wonder, would be the Goya to make films if he had the chance. He has a pattern very similar to storyboards. Or here are my fighters. They’re not much different from military images of Eisenstein or Goya. The same war, and people haven’t changed much. This constancy worries me, actually, most of my work is the result of this concern.

But it is concern to you is always very sexually suggestive. Your fighters or bombs — they are extremely attractive. This is the first thing you notice.

Yes, it is very important orgasmic moment. The time being. I want to create images that re-occur every time you look at them.

This is a very cinematic idea. And is very close to Eisenstein. It was just interested in the sexual component of the film. This is due to your own experience?

I only got one great film. I wanted to make a film for a million dollars. But the money I had, so I had to find producers, and as a result I made a film for twenty-five million. But these people constantly prevented me from taking the movie, so the movies I no longer do. Just don’t want to deal with the Hollywood idiots. They are like new the Vatican. If you want to work on the Church, you have to tell the same story. And if you work in Hollywood, you too, all the time telling the same story.

But “johnny Mnemonic” undermines the standard form of Hollywood history. He seems to be made on the model of blockbuster, but you ruin it a little.

But that’s about half of what I wanted to do. I wanted to make the film in black and white as “Alphaville” Godard. But the money I was willing to give just for the color. I then took the problem of congestion of consciousness information. I grew up in the early 1960s during the heyday of television. And the idea of images that uncontrollably burst into your life, I am very worried. In the movie it all came in a very abbreviated form. But working with it I realized how great it is to be an artist: nobody tells you what to do.

I think this idea of information, forcibly uploaded into the brain, very important in your art. For example, the same fighter: they seem to be images that are lodged in us on a subconscious level. But their source — it is media.

When I finished the film, I did a series of works called “Magellan”. Such a journey around the year, three hundred sixty-six drawings — drawing a day. Each image from the media. This was before the Internet, 1996. I thought that all these images penetrate into us every day, quietly, unnoticed, and we have no idea what they do to us. I read Jung and then a lot of thinking about the images of the collective unconscious. And was looking for a way how these unconscious images to portray.

This brings us back to Goya. It turns out these images — a kind of monster, which produces the sleep of reason.

Exactly. I even stole his name for his two series. When I was painting the waves, they were called “Monsters”, a bomb I call it a “Disease of the mind”, referring to Goya. On the first bomb me inspired Goya’s “Colossus” giant from which people flee. It looks like an atomic explosion. Amazing.

“Certificates”. ISI “Garage”, until February 5

In Yekaterinburg showed a film about the Jock Sturges – Вести.Ru

After closing in Moscow exhibition of American photographer Jock Sturges is a master of the Nude — the passions about his work moved to the Urals. In Yekaterinburg showed a film about him, “Jock Sturges. Line of beauty and grace”. For educational purposes, while the view was attended by well-known urban critics. Without provocation, was not.

reporters, photographers, operators of such attention from the press center of photography in Yekaterinburg, have not yet won. The people at the doors of the building began to gather an hour before the show tapes about the Jock Sturges. On the eve of the activists promised by any legal means to prevent the release of “pedophile”. Given the sad experience of the Moscow colleagues, the curators of the centre, hastened to protect in advance.

Before the show, police officers appeared briefly at the door of the center, and then monitoring the outside continued plain-clothes officers. However, the provocation that everyone was waiting on the street, happened inside, right after the screening of the film “the Line of grace and beauty.” In this hour documentary Sturges and his models give an interview right on the set. In the frame of the photographer shares his secrets and young girls, including Nudes, talk about the nuances of working with infamous author.

After watching the film of a category “18+” audience was waiting for the discussion. But instead of the critics and culture experts from the beginning the floor was taken by Denis Poryadin. The audience, he introduced himself as a concerned citizen.

“that old pervert who seduces children, the sick women who surround him — the most terrible that it destroys the souls of children!” he said.

Further verbal sparring was a no-go, and police assistance was not required. Output troublemaker from the audience did not. On the contrary, to the claims Poryadin tried to answer many critics.

“I am completely against this kind of attacks on the exhibition, or, as here we heard when the person tries to immediately “crush” the entire discussion. And the discussion about the boundaries of the permissible in art, about is it art or not, about why now is such an exhibition show. This sort of thing, of course, must be discussed”, — convinced the photographic critic, lecturer Victoria Musvik.

despite the scandal, the organizers of the film screening was pleased with the intensity of the debate. The clash of different perspectives — just what was achieved by the curators of the centre. That’s just the culture of the dispute, according to them, could be higher. However, back to the topic of Jock Sturges and his work in the Urals in the near future do not plan.

The leader of group “the spleen” Alexander Vasiliev about the album “the Key” – Газета.Ru

— In an interview on the occasion of the release of the previous album “Resonance” you told me that the Studio “Dobrolet” — your place of power. For the “Key to the cipher” “spleen” however, got his own Studio. How did this happen?

— the fact that the Studio “Dobrolet” — three doors, three huge rooms. And there was always the fourth door, and there was some Studio of circus art. And here we are at some point suddenly found out that she moved out. Immediately ran to the Director with money and begged anyone this premise is not to give. There is a ceiling four feet, a huge window with a view on St. Petersburg roof, plus we were given nine Parking spaces in the city centre — what could be better! We quickly made repairs, brought all the equipment and recorded.

— And this is all profitable story? It is not cheaper to “Dobrolet” to sign up?

— no, there is month’s rent is three days recording at “Dobrolet”. But it is not even that. Important — there Feng Shui. Come and know all will be as good as never was. So in the end what happened.

— are You a recent interview told me that for you, Moscow is a village in the Valdai hill. And all that in them is, you don’t care. Nevertheless, the album is the song “Anxiety”, which is clearly inspired by what’s happening outside St. Petersburg…

— no. In General, concerns for the future has always been human nature. And now the news will include once it is clear that flare up at any time and absolutely anywhere. There seems to me even incorrectly refer to a specific event, this is just a General state of modern society.

— You recently traveled to Ukraine. How was the tour?

Great. We played on a big festival where there was not a single political slogan — just music, music, music. There were musicians from all over the world, and there we represented Russia, showed that no aggression from us is not.

— Problems at the border and was not there?

Nothing. At all. Our government is not at war with Ukraine. Neither from our, nor from the Ukrainian side had no problems and inhibitions at the border. Come, play, for God’s sake.

— Spring came out of the sensational material “Novaya Gazeta” about teenage suicide, and now you have the album appears the song “whale” is a word in many relevant groups in social networks is present. These phenomena are somehow connected?

— no, of course I anything similar did not read. This song is about the loss of a loved one, which is shown in the example of the child and the whale. The song that lose a loved one at any age is very difficult.

— You have a lot on the album about God, sing, and turn to him quite familiarly…

— I’m an atheist who believes in God. From this position written the song “Skull and bones”. I don’t belong to one denomination, but recognize God as the root cause of birth of this world. That’s what it is. I do love the paradoxes in science, in literature. I always isolate these lines. Poetry is usually a line of two parts in which the second denies the first: I am an atheist who believes in God. I do think that the pinnacle of poetry is a paradox.

— by the Way, in the song “Skull and bones” do you use a sample from “Break on Through” by The Doors. The right to buy?

— no, I just stole your favorite band and not hide it. If you come to ask me — will have to pay (laughs). You could tell a lie that I played. But that’s the fun for me is to take a drum part from your favorite song and come up with your text.

— Park Live festival you played a program of greatest hits. How many songs with “the Key to the cipher” you will play in the upcoming tour?

— for festivals We made a special program consisting of hyperchaos. Recitals, in turn we play the songs, so to speak, of the second plan — but no less expensive for us. As for the “Key to the cipher”, the round we are going to play all the songs from the LP. Although, really, not all, of the two songs we dazzled one. What not to say.

—You said that during a recent tour in the US, you met with the team of developers of WhatsApp. Tell us how it happened?

— We received a letter that Jan koum and his team are invited to play a house concert for them. Of course, we agreed. It was all somewhere in California, I can’t remember. They rented a big loft, we played a great house concert. Almost all children — immigrants from Ukraine. This is our public — higher education, intelligent people. Still successful. It was very pleasant to talk to. Well, after this meeting, I finally decided that the album should be called “the Key” — such coincidences are not accidental.

— 10-15 Years ago you were a national hero, the songs sounded from each iron, was shown on the TV. Now the situation seems little changed — the role of TV, radio and even more. How do you feel in the changed circumstances?

— And nothing has changed really. We have now filmed a video for the song “Pyramid”, and once it became clear that the country has 10-15 channels with which we immediately began to call and ask for our video. It’s just we grew up, and chetyrnadcatiletnie and sit staring at the screen all the same.

— not upset that you grew up and your clips still look chetyrnadcatiletnie?

— no. Our shows have come two generations of students — 15-year-olds and 42-year-old parents. They just all stick to the same music — Russian rock, all that.

You feel yourself belonging to the Russian rock?

— No, I have these definitions at all, I am a ascetic. I like to write songs, then write them down — this is for me a real journey every time. In General, I write the bard and bard songs, I’m not a rock musician. Rockers for me — it’s such a long hair, guys in leather that I always avoided on the contrary (laughs). The first musician who I have a crush, — Vysotsky, within this framework, I hold, it does me good.

new music follow? Rap, electronics?

Yes I’m interested, of course. If there’s a message, I always read.

— did Not think the style change as something to be updated?

— why should I become someone else, if I like to be me? Me perfectly get a rocker, a bard, a lover of symphonic music… we Have on the album because the symbiosis of genres — rock, trip-hop, and recitative, and chorales. What is the genre?.. I like, individual things to create.
