Бонусный вебинар "Актуальные художники прошлого"
A text about your artistic practice and your unique experience. It will describe the focus of your research in a convincing, sensible and comprehensible way. It will mention the topics you pursue and explain how your research fits into the context of contemporary art theories and practices. This description in the form of a general manifesto, justification or commentary will be a useful tool to profile yourself whenever needed.
The text about an artist is quite detailed and extensive. It describes various aspects of your practice, therefore you can use it for multiple purposes. You will quote some of its extracts in a grant or open-call application or in a press release. If you abridge the text and keep only the most essential points, you will get a short Artist Statement that will serve you as a kind of manifesto.
In addition, this kind of text will be a programme document of your artistic practice. When (and if) you start looking for new reference points, it will serve you as a testimonial of a certain stage of the development of your artistic concept and vision.
Our goal is not just to write a fine and authoritative text but also to create an exhaustive and accurate commentary on your artistic practice.
A text about an exhibition project, a body of work or a particular work of art – any separate episode of your artistic practice. In this case, everything depends on you and what you need: you draft a list of core messages and we turn it into a detailed and consistent description.
In the course of this work, we suggest and agree on a long-form theoretical justification of the project. Together we integrate your work in the relevant contemporary art discourses, reveal its connections with the international intellectual ideas and with the experience of historical artistic practices.
The final text about a project is a rationale, an answer to a number of questions:
How is the project incorporated into the theory and practice of contemporary art? What makes your artistic statement relevant? Why is it important? What is it aimed at and how does it work?
As a rule, a text about a project is no less multifaceted and detailed than a general description of your artistic practice. You can also use it for various purposes: as part of an exposition, for a press release, as a supplement to an application for a grant, an open-call or an exhibition.
