Olga Chernysheva, GOGOLFEST, Kiev, Ukraine, Dovzhenko Film Studio, 5—12 September 2010
BAIBAKOV art projects announces the next stage in its international program, which promotes Russian contemporary art abroad. BAIBAKOV art projects and Maria Baibakova are proud to present a showcase of works by Olga Chernysheva as part of GOGOLFEST, a multidisciplinary festival held in Kiev’s famous Dovzhenko Film Studios from September 4–12. Chernysheva is one of the most eloquent and important artists working in Russia today. Her work explores the possibility of a silent film to speak volumes, of how the fall of an Empire can be expressed in the simple, seemingly meaningless gestures of her subjects. Within the space of the film studios, viewers feel the contrast between the produced theatricality of their surroundings and the understated observations of Chernysheva’s camera, amplifying the impact of the works.

Almost forty years ago, Guy Debord formulated what he called the "Society of the Spectacle", a world mediated by images, in which one experiences the representation of reality, rather than reality itself. Paul Pfeiffer is part of a new generation of artists examining the mechanics of the contemporary spectacle in an age in which advances in digital technology have reinvented the idea of an “iconic” image. Pfeiffer’s work demonstrates a subtle mastery of these new techniques of image-making, contrasting scale and modes of spectatorship to create tension between what is revealed and what is obscured.

Luc Tuymans is recognised as one of the most significant and influential contemporary painters working today. In the past ten years, he has prompted a critical rethinking of figurative painting, which in turn influenced the development of contemporary art across media. As a Special Guest of the Third Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art, Luc Tuymans will present his first major exhibition in Russia, “Against the Day”, the fourth exhibition from BAIBAKOV art projects.

Olga Chernysheva’s work is distinguished by its attention to the psychological state of her subjects. “There’s always a human figure in the frame,” the artist explains. ”The characters could be confined in a cramped interior, or they could be lost in a vast space, but they’re always on their own.”
