Methods of Art – Archive of Artists Interviews

Natalia: We don’t think our artworks need some special preparation from the audience. We exhibit
them in different places.
Olga: Where and how we exhibit them depends on the exact project. We don’t think that we need
some special audience. We create our artworks for ourselves. We make them to see what they will
turn out to be. And we exhibit them so we could understand them.
We started documenting artworks not that long ago. Mainly we document those where the process
is present. It’s important to document them, and then we try to film and take pictures of it.
Natalia: We haven’t made any published documentation, but we’re starting to think about that.
We’re almost ready to start working on some book, some projects need documentation in a book
format.

Where Dogs Run / Presentation

Bio

The artist group ‚Where Dogs Run‘ was formed in Yekaterinburg in 2000. Their members are: Alexey Korzukhin (b. 1973), Vladislav Bulatov (b. 1975), Natalia Grekhova (b. 1976), Olga Inozemtseva (b. 1977).
The artists create kinetic sculptures, objects, installations, video and events which appeal to spontaneous somatic experiences and mythological narratives as well as images of optical and linguistic illusions yearning for the technical achievements of utopias. The group is an active participant of biennials and exhibitions of contemporary art in Russia and abroad. They were twice nominated for the Innovation award for Visual Art.
