CV

EliKuka group announced itself among the art scene in 2007. The members of EliKuka made a number of personal projects in Moscow, Paris and Vienna, they took part in group shows in Russia and abroad. In 2011-2013 they made a series of interactive kinetic installations where the usual rules of behavior are broken: the viewer is offered to touch and move the works of art, to array the composition at his own discretion. Continuing experimenting, developing the idea of direct mutual influence between the viewer and the piece of art the artists realized the project “Propaganda of Photography”: the artists’ works became a background for the ones who wanted to take a photo.
EliKuka violate the usual rules of displaying works of art, explore various forms of stupidity and insolence in the artistic environment.

The group worked in collaboration with artists: Georgy Litichevsky, Valery Chtak, Kolbein Hugi (Iceland), RatRights (Austria), art-group Gelitin (Austria) and others. Also they are members of Moscow punk band I.H.N.A.B.T.B., international musical-artistic formation ANUSRIOT and music group Jenya Kukoverov. The winner of Soratnic Prize in 2012.

OUIZTITI

 17-30 november 2022 - 'OUIZTITI', Galerie Odile Ouizeman, Paris

'Skeletons for air currents' is kinetic structures or mobiles which get into motion with the help of internal ventilation system, breathing and movement of the audience, blowing of the wind, sound waves. Complex structures will be created out of items found in the city or bought in the nearest supermarket or donated by new acquaintances. There is a delicate balance between the items. The kinetic installation can resemble an explosion filmed in slow motion or a set of objects floating freely in space.

The fragile balance of the whole world disturbed by the war, broken ties between the peoples and the countries as well as impossibility of communication will be depicted in the installation where the system of counterweights and struts tries to refill the world with a harmonizing sense. Will the world be given another chance to reconnect people? Is there a place for love and mutual assistance in a situation of total alienation and hatred?
