Minus20degree art fest in Flachau


The Moon on Earth, People in the Sky is a two-part installation connected by the poetic metaphor of memories and ideas by the Russian philosopher- cosmist Nikolay Fedorov. Embedded in the landscape the artwork evokes a sense of here-and-now by the viewers as in the surrealist Magritte’s painting.
Part1: Private Moon is an artwork in progress. It is a mobile installation and visual poem, telling the story of a man who met the Moon and stayed with her forever. Leonid Tishkov has taken it on a journey from 2003 until now. 
Part2: Their Homes Are in Heaven is a new artwork in which photos from family albums of local people are portrait in a window frame.

Premonition of the Cosmos



Alexandra de Viveiros gallery in Paris is pleased to present "Premonition of the Cosmos", a group show around Russian cosmism, a philosophical current according to which the surrounding world is a Cosmos, that is to say an order which guarantees the appearance and the sustainability of the life, unlike the chaos that threatens both. Following cosmist philosophers, artists reinterpret the theme of the cosmos as a common home for all of us. The exhibition brings together a set of new projects of the invited artists as well as less recent works: video, photographs, installations, paintings and drawings are presented there in a new way. January - February 2020.
