Ferment:
Metamorphoses and Reflections. CYFEST-14 at the
National Arts Club, 15 Gramercy Park South, New York City,
December 6, 2022 - January 3, 2023. CYFEST-14: Ferment examines the theme of fermentation through
the dual lenses of art and science. Fermentation in the
conventional sense is a technological process in the food
industry. However, if we give it some thought, practically
everything that happens over time---to animate, inanimate and
even strictly material objects---falls under this definition.
In the exhibition, artists explore fermentation’s
versatility both as a biological process and in its more
extensive metaphorical meaning.
This exhibition brings together artists practicing
different media including paintings, drawings, prints,
photography, video, new media and interactive installations
who are interested in evoking a wide range of responses to
contemporary cultural and historical context and social
environment. Leonardo Journal, published in partnership with
MIT Press, is dedicating its December 2022 Special issue to
this theme in conjunction with 2022 CYLAND Media Art Lab 14th
international festival of media art CYFEST. The
exhibition is organized by CYLAND
Media Art Lab in collaboration with the Kolodzei Art
Foundation. https://www.nationalartsclub.org/

Kropivnitskaya, Tatiana Levitskaia, and Rimma Gerlovina. The
next generation includes artists who participated in the
initial exhibitions and others who became involved in the
early 1980’s, including Natalia Nesterova, Tatyana Nazarenko,
Olga Bulgakova, Anna Birshtein, Natalia Shibanova, Lusy
Voronova, Diana Vouba, Svetlana Kalistratova, and Valentina
Lebedeva-Lesin. The latest generation is made up of artists
whose works date from post-perestroika and post-Soviet period
from the late 1980's to the present, including Irina Danilova,
Natalia Kamenetskaia, Alexandra Dementieva, Alla Esipovich,

Personal Spaces – Interactive
Multimedia Works by Anna Frants, Carla Gannis, Alexandra

Arts Club, Gregg Gallery, 15 Gramercy Park South, New York,
February 26 - March 24, 2018. Opening Reception February 27,
2018, 6-8pm.
This exhibition brings together a
collection of experiential-based ideas and projects built
around the idea of interaction between the viewer and an
artwork, an individual and a society, mediated by
technologically progressive visualization methods. Technology
can be viewed as an instrument for artists to offer
reflections on the role of information in society; cultural
mechanisms; the boundary between the real and the virtual; and
the use of mass media as instruments for manipulation and
control. Some of the works are inspired by the artists’ own
experiences and create an illusion of the individual taking on
a paradoxical and timeless sojourn into the ideal — an
entirely “personal” space constructed of inanimate objects
from the past. Other works offer journeys through imaginary
epochs represented by classical forms, historical images and
creative associations, while additional works explore female
identity through the artist turning the camera on herself as a
character for role playing in digital narratives. The
exhibition explores artworks that are immersive,
participatory, performative and kinetic, all from the vantage
point of the phenomenological experience. It is organized in
collaboration with CYLAND MediaArtLab and the Kolodzei Art
Foundation. more

This Leads to Fire features selections from the Kolodzei Art
Foundation, one of the most extensive collections of
nonconformist and contemporary Russian art in the world.
The exhibition will include works ranging from the
1950s through the period of Glasnost and contemporary art. It
will be organized into five parts that explore the origins of
Nonconformist art, the developments of Moscow Conceptualism,
Sots Art, the influence of the Russian avant-garde in
geometric abstraction, and the coercive legacy of Socialist
Realism. This Leads to Fire will familiarize viewers with an
important and underappreciated body of work, but also
demonstrate the challenges these artists still pose to both
mainstream Russian culture and the globalized art world. The
exhibition is curated by Sarah Warren, Assistant Professor of
Art History at Purchase College, the State University of New
York.
