Special project within The 6th Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art
Curator: Katia Krupennikova
Artists: Olga Ganzha, Masha Ru
INSIDEOUT is a series of 8 tours that are focused on private observations and personal stories of Moscow’s citizens united under the theme of ‘the East’ and ‘the West.’ Every day from 23rd until the 30th of September a new protagonist welcomes us for in his apartment or other place selected by him.
In 1986 Jan Hoet created his iconic project Chambres d’amis, during which citizens of Ghent allowed their apartments entirely or partly to be transformed into pieces of art. Inspired by the idea of slipping out of borders of an exhibition format we would like to work with citizens of Moscow that will touch upon topics of urbanism, linguistics, politics, media, spirituality.
INSIDEOUT combines insider and outsider glimpse on Russia’s capital, proposes to explore a way of looking behind the curtain of mass media representations and clichés. It speaks back to Russia’s geopolitical contradictions and urges to open a discussion about its relation towards the East and the West. INSIDEOUT is an experiment that aims to open up a dialogue about possibilities of interaction with an everyday environment. Project’s main goal is to study personal stories and spaces as pieces of art in themselves. It involves anthropological, psychological, ethnological and sociological levels.
