Project «Remeikis, prickels and sequels in Russian video art», 2010

The full title is «Parallel Films: Remakes, Caves, and Sickwells of Films and Television series in Russian Video Art». The video art was initially boring and unprofessional. The video writers were artists who couldn’t paint and thought that if they took over the cameras, they’d be able to do it right away. An isn’t. Even art critics couldn’t see it. And in the movies, the term «viso» was used as a curse. But gradually, video artists learned something. They learned about silent movies, Georges Meles' tricks, Charlie Chaplin’s and Buster Keaton’s tricks, the Kulesov effect, and Eisenstein’s rides. And soon, the Hollywood movies, the Soviet series, the video caraoke, the vultures, and the bellies began to parade. At that point, the artist Shaburov was called as the programme sponsor of the Russian video art at the film festival in Vienna. He collected all the best-looking samples of it in his 30 years of existence and called his program «Rhymes, pinnacles and sequels of film and television series in Russian video art.» After Vienna, the program was shown in many museums.
