- ARCHIVE / Russia
- a last (re)view
A month and a half have already passed since I’ve returned from my trip to the world’s biggest country, Russia. It hasn’t been as easy-going as I’d wished it to be, though I’ve seen wonderful things and met wonderful people …
Aside from the fact that I managed to leave my cashcard in one of the [...]
- Politics, sleepless nights and other cliches
We’re nearly at the middle of August. It’s somewhat what we expect from summer. It’s sticky, hot and I can’t sleep …
Well, summer for Russians usually begins in April – though it might be snowing and lakes and rivers are still frozen, it may be some kind of magical thinking that makes not only the [...]
- Going down, deep and deeper …
I am here now for nearly a month (by “here” I mean Saint Petersburg, Russia …). Right at that time, when I had the feeling life’s getting back to its usual track I’ve been kidnapped today …
Not that I have been lazy – I am currently working on a complex project, that requires extensive programming [...] - Piter – take a walk on the wild side of history
Saint Petersburg nights are long and mild at this time of the year. Two days ago at early morning we decided to make an excursion through the city and its architectural fields of Sovjet industrial history …
Saint Petersburg can certainly be called a magnificant city. Aside from that it’s one of the first modern concepted [...]
- Mysterium Vegetatum or how to build an island
My first week in Russia is over now (not counting the one I spent here in April). Time’s rushing fast and surprising things happening all around. Just last weekend I was to witness a very special performance here at Grysnaya Galereya: Mysterium Vegetatum.
Mysterium Vegetatum is a longtime project by Misha a Crest, artist and “alchemist” [...]
- Welcome again, Russia!
I’ve made it: After spending 36 hours on the train from I’ve reached my final destination Saint Petersburg. What a joy!
After my first flying visit in April this is now the second time I’ve come to this still exotic place. I would like to extend my stay up to 2 months, but, well, you never [...] - A day in Venice / VideoTochka at Damtschach
Already 2 days ago Videotochka was presented at Damtschach near Villach, Carinthia — a rather “private” event, though it has been interesting for me to recognize people reacting very differently on the works that were shown along our little tour. In either case people proved to be interested and I hope we were able to [...]
- 13-06-2007: VideoTochka at CineX, Lienz
Today we’re having the first in a series of 3 presentations for Sergey Teterin’s “Videotochka”:
VideoTochka has originally been founded as a temporary gallery for Russian videoart in Perm, a Russian city about 2.000 km east of Moscow. Differently to other places for contemporary art, the audience was rewarded for its attention.
“I am convinced that in [...] - Sergey Teterin has arrived
Early this morning my friend, the russian media-artist and curator Sergey Teterin from Perm, Russia has arrived here in Vienna, together with his wife Anja and his daughter Serafima.
Sergey has come to Austria again to present his project VideoTochka at the MUSA (“Museum auf Abruf” – “museum on demand”). Videotochka was designed as a gallery [...]
