We invite artists to take part in an open-call exhibition on the theme "The Phantom of the Post-Soviet space", which will be held in HSE ART GALLERY in March 2021.
The competition is open to both students of the HSE School of Design and independent authors.
Applications will be accepted until November 22, 2020.
We live in a time when all the utopian projects of the future are in the past. The twentieth century taught us to anticipate the future, in the domestic context - the "bright future". Our time does not offer new projects of the future, as if the very possibility to imagine a variant of the future radically different from the present has disappeared.
In this situation, artists turn to the past as a source of alternative, phantom, non-accidental options for the future. The driving forces and methods of this retrospective view are memory, time dissection and nostalgia. It is these tools that we offer to use the artists who want to join this project.
