CHTO DELAT.
This was the video work in artspace, (the first one as you walked through). CHTO DELAT translates into 'what is to be done' and contains a group of russian artists. It was approx 30 min. The video is based on findings of eye witness accounts of perestrokia in soviet history. The film is set in 1991, after victory over the restorationists. There are 5 characters, whom all play a different role, in history, the Chorus then analyses there role. I liked this work, although I found it to go on a little too long, I found that with more time i probably could of sat through the whole thing. The chorus added some humour to the work. Overall it was very interesting and engaging.
Art and time.... Olafur Eliasson, need I say more?
Eliassons installations surround and focus on time.
Peronally my favourite is To The cubic structural evolution project (2004).
I went to the exhbition in its lasts days and seeing what everyone had created was amazing, you got a weird experience of time. Some constructions must of taken hours, some minutes, you also had no idea how long they had been there, if they had been changed from there original construction, and how many people had seen them.
pretty cool!
