The selection shows particular interest of Central Asian artists for cinematic language that become an effective tool in exploring contradictions and confusions of the Islamic states, some decades after dissolution of soviet block. We invite you to dive into artist's laboratory, in which the reuse of spiritual tehnics and practices becomes effective models in articulating critical attitudes toward inertia, rampant globalization and neo-liberal anarchy. The artists obsession for ecstatic vocabulary comes from the varieties of nomadic rituals, pre-Islamic and syncretic practices that define their life and cultural environment.
The exhibition is an attempt to question former and ongoing EU policy measures/adjustments toward the black market development and labor force migration from the Eastern countries, as the effects of its policy during the 90's in the Western Balkans. In such circumstances the artists exploring the values of nomadic culture become a valuable contribution in changing actual cultural and political climate.
Presented artists: Abilsait Atabekov, Alexandr Ugay from Kazakhstan, Veaceslav Ahunov/Uzbekistan and Ulan Djaparov/Kyrgyzstan
