ARTMOSSPHERE biennale

September 01, 2018

ОНЛАЙН\ONLINE

В работе ONLINE Мост исследует взаимосвязь между реальными событиями и их документацией в эпоху повсеместного интернета, прямых трансляций и социальных сетей.

В момент церемонии открытия Биеннале, художник нелегально создавал свою работу на одной из московских улиц, в районе Старого Арбата, предложив гостям вернисажа выступить свидетелями этого момента, посредством проектора и прямой трансляции, но при этом находясь в выставочном пространстве Винзавода, на другом конце города.

Исход несанкционированного уличного рисования не был заранее известен ни художнику, ни аудитории. Все действия художника в течении перформанса, 30 минут, были видны посетителям вернисажа, в формате обычной видео-проекции.

В дальнейшем, на экспозиции можно было увидеть видеодокументацию этого перформативного действа. Высказывание художника поднимает важный вопрос о репрезентации уличного искусства в эпоху победившей виртуальной реальности: что сегодня важнее, и что является самой работой — эфемерное нелегальное произведение, появившееся на улицах города, или ее цифровой след — трансляция, за которой наблюдало несколько сотен человек, и которое “навечно” останется в сети?

Misha is one of those people possess the ability to globally assess the impact of various processes on our planet, including those related to the development of technology. Not long ago as part of his solo exhibition, Misha Most presented a work that consisted of his sketches done by a programmed drone. Thus, he raised the question of creative individuality and authorship relevance in an era where basically every process in the life of one human being can be done and replaced by a machine, and any visual images undergo multiple copying and lose their originality.

For the Biennale ARTMOSSFERA Most explores the interrelation between the real art action and its documentation in the history of art. At the opening ceremony of the Biennale, the artist illegally created a work on one of the Moscow streets, inviting guests of the opening day to witness this moment through a live broadcast via the Internet. The outcome of illegal street painting was known not to the artist neither the audience in advance. Here you can see the video documentation of this performative action.

The statement of the artist raises an important question about the representation of street art in the era of the victorious virtual reality. What is more important today - the real artwork left on the streets of the city or its digital footprint, a broadcast that was watched by several hundred people?

Artmossphere is the only Russian biennale that introduces general public to the most prominent street artists from all over the world and boosts the development of the local street art scene. The first two biennales took place in Moscow in 2014 and 2016, showcasing world-wide famous artists and collectives, including L’Atlas, The London Police, Miss Van, as well as Russian artists and a number of foreign experts including legendary Martha Cooper, famous for documenting the New York graffiti back in the 1980s.

Части Стен 2

«Декорация».

-Инсталляция представляет собой коллаж из фотографии городского объекта, нанесённого на неё рисунка, и гирлянды городского освещения.

”За основу конструкции, взят реальный объект ЦТП с Нового Арбата, и в масштабе же перенесён в здание питерского Манежа.

На реальном объекте в Москве был нелегально нанесён этот же рисунок, и именно он войдёт в книгу #частистен .

При создании инсталляции в Манеже, я рисовал поверх фотографии чистой стены.

Некоторые детали работы определились мной уже на стадии монтажа, в том числе и характерная лента уличного освещения.

Для меня, это скорее работа-впечатление, определённые миг, выхваченный из городской среды.”

Dom Revolucije/ Kotor-Nikshich. Montenegro

August 20, 2015

All works were realised during one week in Nikshich, Montenegro, as a part of art residence from Ducley Art Foundation (based in Kotor, Montenegro), and with support from Hip-Hop Accademy (Moscow). Works were then presented in the Foundtion as a photo project .
"Based in abandoned and half ruined monumental building of the Home of Revolution in Niksic, Montenegro, the Project uses the walls of the brutal monument to the totalitarian era as an object of inspiration for the world famous art activists alone with the younger generation of street artists to start a philosophic public art research on the issue of Revolution [as a tool for Evolution].
Dom Revolucije Project is aimed to bring Montenegro to the Art World map by developing both local and global street culture primarily by the means of street art and all of it’s various forms with focus on Balkans region historical heritage and cultural context.
The project is curated by Michael Oger, CEO and founder of Hip-Hop Academy Moscow. Curator and the first two street artists - Petro Aesthetics and Misha Most were invited by Dukley European Art Community as part of its residence program.
With the support of Niksic city administration and local NGO BIT within one week of intense work the first mural was created by Petro Aesthetics on the rooftop of the building. The artist got his inspiration from the architectural forms and brutal history and drew a giant abstract red star with his name encrypted in it. The size of the masterpiece is over 200 square meters, which officially makes it the biggest mural in Montenegro. Besides the mural Petro created two abstract pieces on the ground floor of the building.
The second artist in the project was Misha Most. Under the heavy impression of the brutal architecture and decaying endless interiors of Dom Revolucije he created a street art gallery of his works on the ground floor of the building. The works can be described both as pictures from the wars in the past or as some captures from the antiutopic future. One of the works though stands along - the hand full of pieces of blue broken glass. Same as the floor of Dom Revolucije is all covered with the pieces of blue broken glass falling from its broken roof and windows. The name of this piece is "Value what you have".
As a conclusion of the work accomplished by the team during their residency in Dukley European Art Community and aiming to bring more awareness to the project a special space dedicated to the project was created in Dukley Art Center Kotor. At the moment there is an exposition of photos capturing all the created street art, showing some architecture details and atmosphere of the place. This room in Kotor is like window to Niksic, so that people who never leave the coast have their chance to feel the taste and energy of the biggest Montenegrin northern town and see how street artists are challenging the decaying concrete jungle. The room number is 117, it’s opened every Sunday, same as all of the art studios in DAC/Kotor.
Hopefully this Fall the Project gets officially supported and institutionalized by local authorities and more street artists and curators will be invited to catch their inspiration and create more revolutionary street art. The space on this canvas is not going to end in near future for sure."

45 country flags tied together into a spider's web. Initially made for the exhibition dedicated to the war and peace topic named “Casus Pacis” (reason for peace) The work speaks on the differences and at the same time close ties of the world countries, though at the same time catching each nation into a common globalization web you cant get out from alike the fly and the spider.

Artist in Residence, iaab Basel, Studio Arlesheim

"Big cities are the spiritual home of graffiti art. Moscow has MISCHA MOST, one of the most imaginative graffiti artists of the post-soviet era. Today, his artistic talent is well known throughout Western Europe, and not just on the streets. His artwork has gone from building walls to the leading galleries for modern art. Most is not afraid to tackle sensitive issues and is a master of social criticism. He paints messages in large letters and brings city landscapes to life with subtle lines. His art is explicitly defined by <No Future Forever>, a motto intrinsically tied to the British punk scene of the 1980s. Many of his works are based on the defeatist paradigm <consume, work, die>, while Most attempts to explore the ever more complex situations in today‘s capitalist-driven world.

Within a group exhibition (Sa 24. - Fr 29.11., Oslo, Oslostrasse 10, 4053 Basel) of ‹Artists in Residence› of iaab, Misha Most will present his works to the public." CultureScapes
