Subject: Artist as a Part of an Attacking Multitude
Artist as a Part of an Attacking Multitude
project by Olga Kisseleva
2nde Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art
1 march 2007 — 1 april 2007
The work of Olga Kisseleva (video installations, sculpture,
photography, and also sociological dealings) is based on questions of
contemporary thought which she subsequently discloses in her projects.
In her project for the 2nd Moscow Biennale, Olga Kisseleva, touches on
the particular theme of the artist as a fighter, seeing the exhibition
as a means of having an effect on society. In this project, thought up
in Paris at the time of the agitations of 2005-6, a group of young
researchers, united two worlds that do not intersect. The viewer
wanders around a labyrinth with arrows, reminding one of the layout of
videogames with their various zones, levels and scenarios of the
possible development of events. Finding himself amongst constantly
changing plots, simultaneously concerning the conscience and the
subconscious, the viewer is taken hostage by information contained in
visual and audio forms.
