Soviet Structures & Society Reconection Lab.
The project means to observe and reintegrate the buildings, built in soviet times, with the public spaces, using the self-parody. It can be said that these buildings are irrelevant with the changeable environment after the period of soviet hysteria has passed and the main function of them is lost. The structures are irrelevant with the environment and the language of them looks like the monologue (delirium) standing aside from the surrounding postulates.
I s it possible to create the dialogue by giving the direction to the stream of chaotic monologue? Is it possible to give back the public interest to the buildings by the way of interpreting the shapes and the functional findings?
As the building has lost it’s first function, we’ll try to replace this role with the dialogue held in the past, and to connect it with other similar modern shapes in the area.

Projects
1. Sunny Ropeway.
2. Revaluation.
4. Attractive Factory.
Sunny Ropeway
How can a structure that represented the mechanicality of a human can get into contact with a modern human the idea of whom is uncertain and fragmented itself?
Revaluation.
Our actions follow from exhibitioners practice and are directed towards fixed exterior objects. It is a sort of experiment to check if it’s possible to protect part of a structure from erosion by isolating and then conserving it; if it could attract interest as an exposition, once we actively engage surrounding society during rehabilitation.
Attractive Factory
Is it possible to attract the public’s interest and acceptance beyond the structure’s function on existed dialogues foundation if the dialogue was infant in it’s self?
In order to improve and overcome the post soviet environment the society turned to the rehabilitation and modernization of playing grounds. Our goal is to use existing strategy on environment segments itself and to renovate relations between the structure and the public by replacing the building’s first idea and provoking public’s involvement.
We’ve found the building that was the pavement factory in previous times. The huge rectangle building is connected 30 degrees inclined narrow corridor which once served as the space for moving the lorry with industrial raw materials. I learnt all these in my childhood. Constructing the dialogue with this space the image of kids attraction arouse in my mind.
Mesh
In this project I bring the object back into the natural environment, which was initially converted to the trigonometric language (to the digital 3D environment).
"Distance is practically parallel dimension to time, beyond which only interconnected points remain. Beyond time there is only mathematical steadiness with which any substance is registered at some point.
My effort is to share the time injection on the present and transformed objects but it seems to show the same results."

Folders
If the formation of language was motivated by the necessity to pass on the experience and initially (before men could write) it had some kind of “random access memory” function, today its sophisticated system is present as a substitute for things and environment. The virtual world, which developed based on its rational branches, formed as an eternal platform where any object ever present can be reflected. In this way it is possible to consider it as a simulacrum of the other world, where any fragment experienced by us finds its place and is permanently fixed.
This is how I conceptualised the folders‟ system as a fragmented transformation of a person working on it into eternity, and maybe this particular archiving was the main driving force of the language of communication.

The Weight Lifters
Project The Weight lifter parodies a rush of underdeveloped countries towards the Western Unions like EU,NATO...
During one month`s physical trainings 5 artists make attempt to achieve non realistic results and become professional weight lifters. This action symbolizes the competition of EU non-member countries to reach stated standards of western civilization in a short period of time.
The project simultaneously is the simulation of the corporate "ethics" of developed society that is shown by the rules of the sports games. Artists underline that the basis of the corporate ethics is the athletic principle of competition.
The project blurs the boundaries between art, sports and politics demonstrating the combined cultural "bullion", where there is no differentiated space any more.

Group presents Apartment 4 from the apartment-exhibition series. Apartment 4 reimages apartment space as a construction for artwork and attempts to reveal the conflict between comfort and nonconformity and between fiction and reality.
