A selection of Video Art from Central Asia


OTOK Gallery, Dubrovnik, Croatia
Prezentation by Stefan Rusu-artist/curator
20 of December, 19.00h



Exhibition will be open untill 15 of January, 2007


An overview of the present situation of the Central Asian context by
an external viewer becomes imperative; this compiled visual material
by guest curator Stefan Rusu create a retrospective look at the
internal processes of the social-political evolution and cultural
background. It is extremely useful and necessary to examine the
current problematic and trends in culture, as well as of further
developments of Islamic states after the collapse of Soviet era. The
main sense behind present compilation is overlapping networks and the
relationship between two traditions—the archaic-nomad one and the
present-day post-industrial culture—that provides a synthetic equation
and cumulates an extraordinary cultural load researched by curator
since 2000. The curatorial goal is to deepen and open the process up
with a selection artist positions from Central Asia, with a special
focus on video production from Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.

Presented artists: Abilsait Atabekov, Erbolsin Meldibekov from
Kazakhstan, Veaceslav Ahunov, Serghei Ticina from Uzbekistan, Ulan
Djaparov, Gulnara Kasmalieva & Muratbek Djumaliev from Kyrgyzstan
