Yevgeniy Yufit: the concluding exhibition in the framework of the project "Apartment Art as Domestic Resistance"
29 - 31 August
Address: Marata Street 33 flat no.7
Program:
August 29, 19:00 - the opening of the exhibition, and lecture by the artist Yevgeniy Yufit and Olesya Turkina
August 30, 19:00 - A screening of Andrey Mertvy films
21:00 -The appropriately 'un-pompous' closing of the communal apartment** as part of the MANIFESTA 10 Public Program
To complete the exhibition marathon at the communal apartment, we present a new exhibition by the founder of Necrorealism - Yevgeniy Yufit. Necrorealism - (originating in St. Petersburg and then becoming a key artistic and cinematic movement throughout Russia) was born out of social protest, absurdism, black humor and forensic medicine books. In 1984 Yufit established one of first independent studios in the Soviet Union Mzhalalafilm (“mzha” meaning sleepiness and the unconsciousness, and “lala” as referring to baby talk) in his apartment. Here he assembled his first series of five 16-millimeter short films, created under the influence of the aesthetics of early German Expressionist film, French Surrealist cinema, and the pathos of Soviet films produced in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. The Mazhalalafilm studio united young cinematic avant-gardists from Leningrad and Moscow who were ready for radical experiments.
The exhibition is curated by guest curator Olesya Turkina.

** The very final event at the communal apartment will be on 5 September 2014 with a lecture by Ilya Utekhin & Alexei Yurchak on 'The Archeology of Personal Spaces in Russia.'
