Almanach, journal intime, rapport annuel, YEAR est un livre choral produit chaque année par Komplot et David Evrard avec les graphistes Pierre Huyghebaert et Uberknackig. YEAR met l’accent sur les formes d’art qui dérivent autant du conceptuel tardif, d'implications politiques que du néo-formalisme. Des formes d’art qui travaillent cette brèche entre l’attitude et la pratique. YEAR est un récit. Dans ce récit, plein d’acteurs, de géographies, de lieux et d’histoires toutes reliées par l’expérience subjective des participants.

  


Review in METROPOLIS M

Interview in MOUSSE



YEAR is an annual magazine published by Komplot and David Evrard with the designers Pierre Huyghebaert and Uberknackig. YEAR is thought as a non-linear narrative inspired from the “cause and effect” paradigm or more : « TRUTH AND CONSEQUENCE ». Its subjective approach, closely ingrained with the artists, curators and the experiences they raise, slips in commentaries or reports about different elements – exhibitions, interventions, conferences, books, objects…– that appear influential. YEAR is a choral publication of a « kind of a scene » and beyond. According to the principle of chain reaction YEAR addresses the journalistic model, organising its content in the form of sequences. YEAR is a scene, an experimental constellation.

Zero Gravity Revolt

04/12/2011


'Zero Gravity Revolt' 
by Nikolay Oleynikov (Chto Delat and more)
Curated by Elena Sorokina 

Exhibition until February 10, 2012
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 2 - 6pm 

A learning mural in participation with:
John Bijnens, Laurie Charles, Elisa Espen, Jeremy Fournet, Meryll Hardt, Benjamin Installé, Ekaterina Kaplunova, Georgia Kokot, Sebastien Pauwels, Arthuro Sallustro, Anastasia Starikova, Kim Vansina

After a levitation workshop and a series of lectures, screenings and discussions, the participants in the project prepared a text for the mural's storyline, loosely borrowing ideas and visions from the early Soviet science fiction of the 1920s. The mural considers following question: how is the relation between work and levitation to be seen today, in the times of our precarious present, amid prevailing conditions of groundlessness and a profound sense of insecurity?  It investigates possible links between the levitating proletariat of the revolutionary 1920s and today's groundless precariat trying to occupy some space and spaces. It spreads over 3 walls, each wall depicting a key scene of the plot:  the trilateral agreement between Earth, Moon and Venus; the creative class' exodus to the Moon, and the ultimate revolutionary explosion in space. 

As a reflection of the exhibition's specific temporality, the exhibition process has been recorded in the adjacent Work Space.  The Work Space puts on a display several intermediary stages of the mural: two different scripts varing in detail,  sketches for the walls and other research materials used for the production of the mural. The mural itself is a visible result of  the "collective creative living" - a method initiated by Oleynikov. It consists in bringing together practitioners from different fields and organizing temporary communities in constant dialogue.  

'Zero Gravity Revolt' is the first presentation in Belgium of Nikolay Oleynikov, member of the acclaimed Russian collective Chto Delat. Oleynikov's recent solo projects were featured at: ICA London; Fargfabriken, Stockholm; New Museum, New York and others.
