Daria Karakulova told how things stand in contemporary art. – Russia today Posting in CHAT: Russia Daria Karakulova, founder of the SDPRF and freelance artist, spoke about the concept of creative association and shared her opinion about contemporary art. -Where does this name come from? It's hard to pronounce. – Our complex name was made on purpose. Because mostly names are memorable, but here they don’t have to be memorable. We often use the principle of chance in art. I just threw my hand on the keyboard and these letters fell out. – Why modern art and not classical? – We chose contemporary art because we were more interested in modernity itself. This is a combination of all factors: the globalized world, mass culture, economic crises, depression. And we were more interested in the word “contemporary” in the phrase “contemporary art.” Art is a tool. We use different means: we have people fill out contour maps, we record sound, we write music, we make playgrounds. Our association does not come down to some kind of environment, but simply to a common aesthetics. – What is modernity? – Words cannot describe modernity. Through aesthetics, through exhibitions, we try to capture this. And these are always very contradictory feelings. It can never be something as simple as how a beautiful view makes you feel. Contemporary art is built on contradictions. You can be very upset if an artist uses, for example, images of kittens. But you might find it funny because it's a meme, it's kittens. These are feelings that are not yet in language, but art is trying to find them. – What motivates you to continue? – We are driven by certain paradoxes, where economic, environmental and cultural layers are layers. Using the example of our latest exhibition “The Air Smells of Bird Cherries,” we focused on the city of Togliatti, its pollution, its air, smelling of factory smells and the aroma of blooming bird cherry trees. The Lada Ten contains a kind of Soviet dream of the car of the future, whereas now we see it mainly in regions where it has become a little rusty. – Does art have a purpose? – We want to change the framework of perception. We conditionally hand out what we consider beautiful and ugly. We had "Crip". We tried to take an aesthetic look at some blood clots after a person's life. Not only in the literal sense, it can be slime as a media path. We try to find beauty in trash, that which remains beyond beauty. – What is your audience? — We can be classified as part of a movement in art that is now taking shape and has its own audience — postmodern art. There is a slightly different rule - this is online art. That is, if we see an image captured at an exhibition on the Internet, then for us it is considered art. We can meet and have a thrill online. Against this background, our art may seem childish, funny, childish at first glance. But deep down it contains something more. Probably our viewer is a thinking zoomer, ready to both play and think. – Should classical art remain now? — You can turn to classical art, but I don’t think its methods are applicable to modern art. Our reality is too abnormal now. You go outside and immediately some messages and advertising banners appear. The surreal surrounds you. This is difficult to fit into the logic of classical art. We can look to it for some archetypes. – Does contemporary art pay or is it pure altruism? – There is no market in the regions. Buyers need something else, perhaps for the interior. And more experimental things don't sell. Victoria is trying to hold auctions. So far everything is going smoothly. Contemporary art is charged with certain principles, and they are new. And they are not suitable for a conservative person. But the main audience of our art has not yet become solvent. Perhaps it's a matter of time. In business, the main thing is not to lose yourself. The market has demand, but you are essentially not creating anything new. You make a product, and that product is not always contemporary art. Now we are at a stage where we are trying and searching for ourselves. Experience comes back to us. We've gotten to the point where we have to commercialize it just to keep it going. But the artist in Samara works for a “thank you.” But only those who really need it remain. It's really hard work. You sit and read some texts, criticism, philosophical essays. It's always labor intensive. At the same time, you also need to be able to use your hands: hammer nails, pour epoxy resin, know what is mixed with what. At first, of course, everything comes from abundance, but after a while you realize that you want to do this, but you won’t worry too much about it. A little smart work to avoid burning out. Because exhaustion is a pain in our cultural sphere. Sometimes artists get so burnt out that they don't want to do anything else, and that's even worse. – How do you see the development of the project in the future? — In the future, I see a project that will not be focused only on Samara. It is aimed at other regions and countries. It is mostly digital. Perhaps this is a site where you can get acquainted with our projects. This is a partial transition to augmented reality. We want to expand the team, but it is quite difficult to do this, because there are few people who match our aesthetic and philosophical views. I would like to see a person infected with an idea and desire. And, of course, he must have at least one applied skill well developed. We do exhibitions like this: I need to sew an exhibit, but I don’t even know how to sew this material, because it’s not for sewing, it’s like cling film. Everything comes by trial and error!
