Tonight : Gluklya @ Akinci Gallery - Wings of Migrants

AKINCI GALERY and IMES are pleased to invite you to a viewing and a round table discussion of the art project Wings of Migrants. The project is a collaboration between the artist Natalya Pershina-Yakimanskaya ‘Gluklya’ (Factory of Found Clothes, St. Petersburg, Russia) and Olga Sezneva (Institute for Migration and Ethnic Studies, UvA). Wings of Migrants is a video installation which investigates – in a uniquely created setting of cultural encounter – the dynamics of interaction between representatives of Russia’s ethno-national elite and migrants from Central Asia employed in the construction work. As an art form, Russian classical ballet is characterized by the desire for order, beauty and harmony. As a cultural phenomenon, it incorporates the idea of empire, power and discipline. As an institution, it continues to be dominated by ethnic Russians. Construction work, in contradistinction, is perceived as a polluted, disorderly, and undesirable activity. As in many other countries, construction workers are irregular, undocumented migrants, and are received with disrespect and discrimination. In Wings of Migrants the two groups meet and collaborate in the creation of a dance performance. How does this encounter unfold and what happens as its result? What do the participants learn from each other, what do they reject, and how do they change as they dance together? How can the arts and artists intervene in social problems and political reality?

The project starts from the dream to organize the “Theatre of migrants” in St-Petersburg . Imagine if there can happened ? Monprints and graphics there is a continuation of the research about the social change happened in Russia with the migrants appearance .The installation consists from the : 3 videos , 4 whatecolours, 3 dresses , 10 monoprints and the wall with death migrants statistic ,written by hand .It is the collaborative work . All this done with somebody ,that s why it s called Factory of Found project . I am trying to work as a small institution.))
