WHITE BOX PRESENTS
RUSSIA 2
BAD NEWS FROM RUSSIA
Curated by Marat Guelman and Juan Puntes
Organized by Marat Guelman Art Foundation (Moscow) and WHITE BOX (New York)

@ WHITE BOX
December 8, 2005 – January 11, 2006
Opening Thursday, December 8, 2005 6 – 8 p.m. / Performances Thursday, December 15, 2005 6 – 8p.m.

@ THE ANNEX
December 15, 2005– January 11, 2006
Opening Thursday, December 15, 2005 6 – 8p.m.


The Marat Guelman Art Foundation and White Box are pleased to present RUSSIA 2: Bad News from Russia at White Box and The Annex with additional venues including Magnan Project’s Annex Space and Ethan Cohen Fine Arts. RUSSIA 2 will highlight the most cutting edge avant-garde Russian Art, the majority of which has not yet been seen by US audiences.


RUSSIA 2 first made its debut at the Moscow Biennial in January of this year when it exposed international audiences to previously underrepresented Contemporary Russian Art. RUSSIA 2 features renowned contemporary artists from the region exploring the subject of the “other Russia”, which lies beyond the scope of the pro-governmental, overbearing culture. This condition has become more and more dominant in present-day Russia and tends to impose certain restrictive taboos – such as Chechnya, religion and the figure of the President. These “sacred cows” remain valid for the art sphere as well, which leads to clashes between curators/artists/writers on the one hand and the authorities on the other (and came to an apogee in the form of the recent law-suits against exhibitions of contemporary art and contemporary Russian writers).


In this situation of strengthening the pressure on art there is only one positive decision that is to create a parallel cultural system, a platform that supports a wide variety of free artistic positions. The exhibition is an attempt to build such a platform by gathering creative people in a free artistic working environment.


RUSSIA 2 exists in the geographical borders of the Russian Federation, and is more democratic, multicultural, bent on exploring some dangerous topics rather then being part of a framework of official do’s and dont’s. While RUSSIA 2 distances itself from Putin’s Russia, it is not part of an oppositional party or dissident activity - it is a symmetrical response to the hermetically closed culture of RUSSIA 1 or Putin's Russia.
