10Transforming Realityinterview with Guillaume Piens, director of Art Paris Art Fairby Zsuzsi Fieszling Duplex Gallery from Sarajevo among usas it will show the best of what is happeningon the Bosnian scene, and well as 16th Linefrom Rostov on Don.Why Russia? (as guest of honour)Guillaume Pienspicture by Marie Amar ©Art Paris is 15 years old this year. If you lookback what do you think were the main milestonesthat made the fair as successful as itis nowadays?When it was set up in 1999, Art Paris tookplace at the same time as the FIAC. From thebeginning, it set out to be different by distancingitself from the fashionable trends ofthe art world, which by definition are passing,and by showing strong support for theFrench art scene. In 2006, it was the first artfair to be held in the Grand Palais after majorrenovation works. It changed dates and becamethe event for modern and contemporaryart held in the spring, as opposed to theFIAC that takes place in the Autumn. In 2009,under the leadership of Lorenzo Rudolf, a newconcept was launched with the title of ArtParis Guests. The idea was to open up the artworld and blend contemporary art with otherdisciplines like architecture, gastronomy andfashion. This created a confused situation andthe idea was dropped in 2011.In 2012 the fair was brought under new managementand was re-named Art Paris Art Fair.It has since worked to establish a unique identityas a fundamentally European fair that isopen to the promotion of the art scenes ofthe East, meaning Eastern and Central Europe,the Middle East and Asia.Last year we read a lot about your new conceptsof rediscovering identities and territories.How are you following this route (in thefuture)? What do you think it will change?Entrance of Art Paris Art FairGlobalisation has meant that art and the art ingly conventional, formal and also frivolousmarket today has become more and more work we see today.homogenised and unified.

Thereis a lot of talk about Russia, but strangelyenough, the Russian scene is almost invisible.This is the first time that Russia is invited asguest of honour in a French contemporaryart fair. The objective is to show the wealthand diversity of the structures in Russia.There are Modern Art galleries like Heritageor Brykina, photography galleries suchas Grinberg Gallery, contemporary gallerieslike Pop Off, Arka, Marina Gisich ou Erarta,and new up-and-coming outfits like Iragui,16th line and Perchesky. They all show differentfacets of Russian art: from the artistsof the diaspora to the non-conformists whoopposed the cult of Soviet power between1960 and 1991 to the rising stars of the contemporaryscene.If I am right opening a section for contemporarydesign is a fairly new thing for Art Paris.What is the concept behind this? Is it somethingyou will build into Art Paris’ portfolioin the future?These days there is a close relationship betweenartists and designers. Some designersare shedding the shackles of the functionalto create ambiguous objects that come closeto contemporary art. For this reason it seemslike an interesting idea to create an “artdesign”space where the two can meet. This isthe aim of the platform which brings togethernine cutting-edge galleries that show exclusive,one-of-a kind or very limited editionpieces by contemporary talents. We are excitedabout the prospects for this new contemporarydesign space.What’s Art Paris’ next step?My aim is to ensure Art Paris Art Fair continuesto be a place for discovery and prospectionas well as continuing to focus on and promotethe art scenes of the East.

Photography One by One: Moldovainterview with Tatiana Fiodorova, artist and curator, by Zsuzsi FieszlTatiana Fiodorovaartist and curatorWhat do you think photography means inMoldova today?This is a difficult question, perhaps not onlyfor me but for all those involved in photography.At first glance, compared to previousyears, there is a growing interest in photographyboth from professionals, and ordinary citizensof Moldova, most notably in social networks.For several years, there is portal foto.md, where people who are passionate aboutphotography, can post their photos and comments.People are increasingly, turning tothis media as a way to visual communication.Also, private photo schools open, but most ofthese are of commercial nature. They a wonderfullyprepare photographers for weddingsand other celebrations, teach a trade, but thisis not for creative fulfilment.Can you see Moldavian contemporary photographybeyond your country’s borders? Ifyes, where? What are you (and other Moldavianart professionals) doing to make contemporaryphotography visible internationally?Generally speaking Moldavian photographyis practically scarcely present on the internationalscene. Almost all Moldavian photographersare only known on local level. Few canshow their work in western galleries, and thisis of course connected with the lack of institutionsthat could promote and develop Moldaviancontemporary photography. If we talkabout the personal experiences of the Moldavianphotographers, they very often do nothave full information on how to be visible inthe western world.How do you see, is there a real market forcontemporary photography in the Centraland Eastern European region?Such thing does not exist.What are the strong suits of Moldavian photography?I think Moldavian photography has huge resources,like the whole of our country does- thisis our land. Our space is unique both historicallyand geopolitically. Western colleagues liketo be here. We have something to shoot andtalk about. Moldova for me is, first of all a post-Soviet space. It is impossible not to talk aboutthe Soviet utopia project in which we lived for70 years. And today’s topics in Moldova, bothsocial and political in the present period oftransition may also be of interest.Of course we have talented people with ahuge potential, but the lack of knowledge andexperience does not allow photographers towork in the framework of contemporary photography.What do you think are its weaknesses?The primary weakness is the lack of infrastructure,not only in photography, but in the culturalsector in general, and of course the lackof the art market. We have individual photographers,but we can’t talk about a photo community.It has, unfortunately not developed.In the 80s there was a popular and famousphoto club in Chisinau called Contrast. Iconicphotographers of that time were Valery Volontir,Vladimir Gaidash and Constantin Grozdev,who were awarded honorary degreesAFIAP, then EFIAP. Today the club has almoststopped its activities.Of course, the burning and the most importantquestion is the financing of activities aimedat developing Moldavian photography. In ourstate, including the Ministry of Culture, thereis no clear and well thought-out policy abouthow to promote contemporary art, or contemporaryphotography in particular. Thereforephotography develops spontaneously andrandomly. There are no programs or strategiesfor the development of this field.One should also add that though photographyis taught as a subject at the Academy ofMusic, Theatre and Fine Arts only few of thegraduates continue to pursue photographyseriously after the Academy. Most likely, this isdue to the lack of understanding of how theycould further develop as photographers.There are, of course, attempts to changethings. The Chisinau Centre for ContemporaryArt held periodical exhibitions whereMoldavian artists working in the field of contemporaryphotography, could exhibit alongartist working in other media. .In 2009, I created an online platform, www.artploshadka.wordpress.com to popularizecontemporary art, including photography, bydoing interviews with artists and photographers.Who do you think are the most well-knowncontemporary photographers from yourcountry in 2013?Photography in Moldova is very differentfrom what you would expect.Of course, in Moldova many know the nameof the photographer Mihai Potarniche who ispraised on Moldavian land for his lyrical photographiccompositions. Abroad, however, he isonly scaresly present, like the majority of Moldavianphotographers. In the genre of photojournalismit is necessary to note teacher andphotographer Nicolai Pojoga, who occasionallygives lectures in the USA. Oleg Kaneev isknown in Moldova for his macro and landscapephotos and sketches. On international level,the Dutch contemporary photographer (bornin Chisinau) Ilya Rabinovich is well known forphotographing public spaces like schools andmuseums in the absence of people presentingthe way in which the social system we live inmakes us live in a certain way.Contemporary photography is not supportedor funded by anyone, therefore Moldavianphotography mainly developed as a commercialgenre. Two commercial photographersin great demand in Moldova are Roman Rybalev© Dorin Goian / Gipsy girlA roma girl from a poor family, 28 childrenfrom 3 different families living in a 2 bedroomapartment in Soroca, Moldova 2009and Gulnara Vishku. A very interestingcreative project in my opinion is the Night ofshams by Gulnara Vishku where the artist wastrying to visualize dreams through photos.Also, interesting young authors appearedworking in the various genres of photography.For example, young photographer likeDorin Goian, Ramin Mazur and Donica Neluproduce interesting works in photojournalism.Dorin Goian has an interesting series of worksentitled Hospice Angelus. It is about the firsthospice providing palliative care for patientssuffering from incurable diseases. Ramin Mazurcreated an online photo magazine: http://angleimages.com which presents documentaryphotography. Donica Nelu also tried tomake film. This year he released his wonderfulfilm Nastea & Sioma about a Moldavian villageand its inhabitants. The main characters areshepherds who very sharply characterize theMoldavian rural context of our time.© John Donica: Workers, 2012It is worth mentioning Irina Grabovan as well,a photographer who invited Western photographersto exhibit in her gallery, Aorta.Unfortunately, at present this gallery almoststopped functioning .In fine art photography is used in order tomake collage by artists like Egor Tetushev, IrinaLesik and Andrei Shushvalyuk. Ivan Yalanzhi’snude black and white fotos also received internationalevaluation and recognition.Photos are also very often used in projectsmade by contemporary artists as DmitriiOboroc, Alexander Raevski and Max Kuzmenko.I often turn to photography in myprojects as well. Sometimes I use a photographas a document of reality, though it is still conceptualby nature. Very often the photo is onlypart of the project. It can be supplementedby video works, made into a photo object orgo into a multimedia installation. It may havea social or political sense. For example, for aperiod of more than two years I made a photodocumentation about the protest a Moldavianwar’s veteran named Tudor, who lives in a tentnear the Government and insists on the Governmentto provide him with a house becausethe one he owned was destroyed by authority’smistake. By visiting http://protesttudor.wordpress.com you can see how this mancontinues to protest for more than two years.I also worked with the archival photo material Igot from my father, who was an unknown artistand photographer in the Soviet time. Youcan see his works at http://unknownartistmuseum.wordpress.com.You probably review many portfolios. Whatdo you think about the new generations?Are there changes in how they see photographynow compared to the ways in whichphotography was viewed for example 10-15years ago?Of course, there are many updates, mutationsand newly appearing forms in photographythat were not popular 10-15 years ago. On theone hand there is the use of computer technologyand the use of new methods while onthe other hand there is a return to the aestheticsof old manual photography. Also, there aremany young people who are passionate aboutusing the photo application called Istagram.You said there are no institutions whichwould represent contemporary photography- other countries organise photo festivals,photo months (like the European PhotoMonth). Have you considered organising anyof these? Do you think the Moldavian contemporaryart audience would be interestedin this kind of events?I think the interest would be huge not only forthose who are engaged in contemporary art,but in general, as many citizens are addictedto photography.What kind of fundraising opportunities doyou have? Do you use EU funding at all?Moldavian NGOs received funding from theEU, but most of this funding does not go tothe development of contemporary photographybut goes in general for the developmentof contemporary art. I myself was invited toparticipate in international projects as a partnerfrom the Moldavian side and in the caseof the project dealing with documentary photographywhich will be implemented this year,the association of photographers Sputnic receiveda grant from the Visegrad funds.Are there art collectors in Moldova? If not,what about Russian collectors? Are they interested?If we talk about investors and collectors ofphotography I can say mostly no than yes.How do you think the situation of Moldavianphotography might change in the near future?The situation will surely improve in the future,I think we have already started. In collaborationwith Natalia Anisimova, directorof Mediart Dialog we are trying to developand create projects related to photography.For example, in 2011 I curated a photo exhibitionentitled Moldova. The choice is yours. In2012 we planned to organise an exhibition ofdocumentary photography, where photographersof the CIS were to be invited but, unfortunatelyRussia refused to finance the projectat the last stage of its implementation. Now Iam involved as a partner from the Moldovanside in an international project organized bythe International Association of Photographers“Sputnik. This year we plan to organiseworkshops for Moldovan photographers, anda group of young Moldavian photographerswill visit the Czech Republic. Let’s hope thatour work will influence the development ofMoldavian contemporary photography.More about Tatiana Fiodorova:www.tatianafiodorova.wordpress.com©Tatiana Fiodorova:Sublime Object of Ideology, 200911www.artguideeast.org

KINETIC LABEast London Design ShowShoreditch Town Hall London6–9th December 2012KINETICLAB is an experimental collaborationbetween Balint Bolygo and Elod Beregszaszi,exploring potential applications for kineticforms of expression encompassing the fieldsof Art, Design & Commerce.Elod Beregszaszi runs Popupology DesignStudio to explore all aspects of paper manipulation,concentrating on single sheet foldablestructures utilising the technique of OrigamicArchitecture. He has set up a unique businesswhere the boundaries of art and its commercialapplications are explored in an ingeniousand creative way.Balint Bolygo is an artist working with timebased sculpture and explores the process ofmaking from a science and engineering perspective.His kinetic contraptions use everydayforces to investigate space, mark makingand time, and reveal a new perception of ourenvironment.Kinetic Lab was created by two Hungarianborn artists who both grew up in the UK. Theirartistic paths crossed at the end of 2012 whenthey saw common threads running throughtheir work and the potential to explore newdomains within their practice. CollaborativeP R O J E C T R E V I E Wwork often liberates the artist from the dogmaticapproaches that are habitually adoptedover years.The exploration of ideas becomesless weighed down by the ego and the desireto conform to a consistent artistic practice.The often resisted field of searching for commercialtake on artistic practice is also sidestepped.The debut project for Kinetic Labwas at East London Design Show in Decemberlast year. Bolygo and Beregszaszi have literallycombined their artistic practice to createan interactive platform on which the publicwere given an opportunity to be directly involvedwith the ‘act of making’ the artefact.Beregszaszi’s pre-cut paper templates weremounted on Bolygo’s Pendulum Harmonograph,drawing mechanism. By interactingphysically with the weights in motion, uniquemathematical patterns known as Lissajouscurves were drawn onto the paper modelwith various coloured pens. After about 5-10minutes of drawing time the paper cut formswere folded into popup sculpture that spatiallyextruded these fascinating forms on thepaper folds. The result was a unique artworkevery time from a multiple design, through aprocess that was not only on show but wasopen for the public to participate in.Kinetic Lab aims to explore the potential ofsingle sheet rigid foldable (popup) structuresas a kinetic form that can be customised toclient and site specification. The possibilitiesof applying kinetic paper structures to art, interiordesign, fashion and even architecture isenormous.

Beingan artist remains a dream job for many, yetonly a lucky few can make a living from theirart alone.Is there a recipe for success for talentedyoung artists just starting their career? Doescareer planning work in a field undermined bya variety of factors that are hard to estimateor impossible to control? How do young artistsmanage on the art market, and how doesfame translate into economic terms?The short answer to these complicated questionsis that when trying to achieve successon the art market, talent is just not enough.The days when young geniuses working inobscurity were discovered by influential galleryowners are long gone and art-world expertsagree: young artists need to networkand actively draw attention to themselves. AsBarbara Basting puts it in her article entitled‘Networking and a Pinch of Luck’ publishedin Passages, there is no magic formula forsuccess, but there are a few strategies worthnoting.Let us begin with some numbers. GerhardRichter, the 80-year-old German artist, currentlyholds the title of the most expensiveliving artist at auction, with a painting soldat Sotheby’s in London in 2012 for $34.2 million.In the meantime visual artists in Germanyearn a very modest average of 1000 EURper month. High-earning artists in EasternEurope are even harder to come by. In Hungaryfor example prices are still below theEuropean standard. Established Hungarianartists, provided that they are representedby an internationally recognised gallery andcan reach the Westerns collectors via artfairs and auctions can expect to sell mid-sizeworks for 5-7000 EUR at most, while largerscale works rarely cost more than 10.000EUR, and since galleries can only afford toattend one or two fairs a year, this results inselling very few pieces if any at all. On theother hand a mid-size painting by a youngartist, sold under the same very lucky circumstances,usually runs at best between1–3000 EUR.Curator Bálint Ferenczy of Faur Zsófi ContemporaryArt Gallery in Budapest articulatesthat the reason for young Eastern Europeanartists not selling for standard Europeanprices has three components. First of all, theyrarely have the chance to exhibit at prestigiousWestern galleries or art fairs, and to beseen and discovered by curators who wouldconsider their works for further exhibitions.As a consequence their prices mirror this narrowexposition to art professionals, collectorsand the public. Furthermore, if a work is suspiciouslycheap, collectors and curators tendnot to consider them at all. Since they are notconnected to the hubs of contemporary art,John Curtin Gallery, Australiaand not marketed at leading fairs they cannotsell for high prices and of course, no one question remains: how to deploy the availableMoney of course is another issue, but the mainwants to exhibit or buy cheap art.

New Wave Photography 2013LONDON15Now in its second year, New Wave Photographywill be showcasing fine art photographyfrom Central and Eastern Europe at the CryptGallery, London from 19 th – 27 th April. Theexhibition recognises the rise of contemporaryphotography from Central and EasternEurope, showing a broad selection of artistsfrom the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakiaand Hungary.The historic catacombs of St.Pancras church,also known as the Crypt Gallery prove to bea perfectly contrasting venue for this experimentalexhibition. The photographs on displaysatisfy and confound expectations ofEastern European photography and in thesame time they introduce us to a number ofgenuinely talented artists.The exhibition demonstrates photography’sclose relationship with painting and it’s importanceas a fine art medium. Work by Slovakianartist Veronika Otepková prove thatdigital photography can be both refreshingand classically beautiful. Her work draws inspirationfrom historical events and poetrybut she is clearly undaunted by digital manipulation.Her use of textures and tone mappingcreates an oil paint-like surface on which shecomposes her images.Polish artist, Maciej Boksa epitomises the ambitionof the exhibition showing some verybold, abstract photographs. His series Doorsof Perception takes the viewer on a journeythrough the microscopic world of reflections.The artist uses digital manipulation to introduceliquid surfaces which pour out into thegallery space.Lomography (a unique analogue cameratechnique) also makes a welcome appearanceat this exhibition. Hungarian artist RekaKoti proves that this technique still has impactthrough some haunting, fashion inspired images.Another artist who proves her paintingcredentials by showing minimalist figurativephotography at its very best.Youthful enthusiasm is perhaps the most obvioustheme from this exhibition and whilethe viewer will be struck by the diversity andboldness of the works, it is clear that EasternEuropean photography is once again a forceAbout the organiserto be taken into account.United Creativity promotes fine art photographyfrom Central and Eastern Eu-The opening night will be on Thursday 18 thrope.
