Continuum Remix v.2 is the second in a series of works by Krista Kim in collaboration with Efren Mur (@efrenmur) and Ligovskoï (@ligvsk) to be released on Sedition Art platform.

“Meditation will save us from the machine; art will save us from ourselves. I believe in the healing and transformational power of visual art + sound + meditation on an individual and a social level.
Our future is unknown and unstable. There are difficult times ahead due to social and economic unrest due to pandemic risk, digital disruption, automation and climate change. Collective fear is undeniable, but we cannot allow ourselves to be dominated by fear — we must face the unknown with open hearts and mindfulness. In chaos, there is creative opportunity. We must create a better future with compassion and love.
My collaboration with Efren Mur (video artist) and Ligovskoï (electronic music band) was created during the COVID-19 crisis. Our purpose is to present a vision of meditativeness and digital beauty to collective consciousness. The world is forever changed, and we must adapt with mindfulness, self care and connection to creative energy that will help us navigate the unknown.”

Studio Studies
Studio Studies is a series of video interviews with St. Petersburg artists and a logical continuation of the work with the artists' studios, which was launched as part of the 1st Curatorial Forum. Then, in the fall of 2019, the artists of St. Petersburg opened the doors of their studios to the public. The program called Open Studios raised important questions about the ethics of visiting and hospitality, the attitude of the artist and the public, and the very essence of these private spaces.
In 2020, we continued to work with the studios, now in an exploratory way, to clarify for ourselves, the audience, and the artists the designated "blind spots". We revised the format of open studios in favor of videos about the artist's life in the studio. This decision was also forced by the epidemiological situation, in which we think it is right to avoid mass visits to the studios.
Calling the series Studio Studies, we appeal to an already existing field of knowledge, relatively developed in European and American art criticism. Studio Studies is an area of knowledge that explores the artist's studio as an ecosystem of aesthetic and material production, and as a place that defines the entire future cultural process. We asked questions about the artist's daily life, looked at internal processes and relations with the outside world, i.e. we were engaged in topology and ethics of these special spaces.
Based on a research perspective, we invited artists representing different types of contemporary art: painters, graphic artists, sculptors, photographers, media artists, activists, etc. in order to see, perhaps, the specific routine of each direction.

Studio Studies
Государственный Центр Современного Искусства в Санкт-Петербурге (Северо-Западный филиал ГМИИ им. А.С. Пушкина) @ncca_northwest при поддержке «Фонда поддержки инноваций и молодежных инициатив» представляют первую часть спецпроекта Studio Studies – девять видео-интервью с петербургскими художниками в их мастерских.
Ася Маракулина в мастерской
Studio Studies – логическое продолжение работы с мастерскими художников, начатой осенью 2019 года. В рамках 1-го Кураторского форума была запущена программа Open Studios: во время Art Weekend художники Петербурга открыли двери своих мастерских для широкой аудитории. Программа, сфокусированная на этике посещения и гостеприимства, отношениях художника и публики, а также на самой сути этих приватных пространств, оказалась успешной.
В 2020 году работа с мастерскими продолжается, теперь уже в исследовательском ключе. Формат открытых мастерских был пересмотрен в пользу фильмов о жизни художника в мастерской (или о жизни мастерской).
Мастерская художника – это пространство со своей экосистемой, как правило закрытое для широкой публики. В серии видеоинтервью исследуется повседневная жизнь художника в мастерской и таким образом десакрализуется художественный труд.

Black is a Color by Tim Tadder
Photographer Tim Tadder speaks out for himself on his new project Black is a Color - “Black is a color demands that we look past skin tone, & into beautiful, infinitely complex humans whose lives matter equally. Black is a beautiful color & intrinsically linked to my own liberation as an artist.”
“When primary colors are mixed at equal parts, black is ultimately the precipitating color. During the process, an imperial display of tones appears in the swirling to mirror powerful structure & emotion from the subjects. At a crucial time for the nation to unite, I hope this collection encourages empathy, unity & a non-binary view of race. Black is a color challenges one to see past profiling & foresee the beauty that is capable of elevating the human experience. Black is a color demands that we look past skin tone, & into beautiful, infinitely complex humans.”
