Together with Olga Egorova (Tsaplya), Natalia Pershina
Yakimanskaya (Gluklya) is the co-founder of ‘The Factory of Found
Clothes’. Gluklya works in a frame work of different collective and
research projects combining performance, environmental works, situationist
action and video.
The film ‘Utopian Unemployment Union’ relates to a performance, which took place in 2009,
a dance of migrant workers together with ballet dancers of the Vaganovskoe
Ballet school in St. Petersburg. It is a performance with a structure: first the
ballet dancers teach the migrants how to dance, then the roles change.
Though being a member of the group “Chto delat?”, Gluklya (born 1969 in St.
Petersburg) has
refined her identity within her projects, using installation, performance,
video, text and ’social research’ to develop an operational logic of ‘fragility’
as subjectivity antagonistic to that which is the state of things – be that the
repressive social and political climate of Russia or the reflexive futilities of
international art scenes. Gluklya’s work refers to the tradition of the Russian
avant-garde with a close connection to the theatre of Berthold Brecht.
Since 2003 Gluklya is member and artistic
impulse of the famous artist group “Chto delat? Group/”What has to be done?”
Nathalia Pershina-Yakimanskaya (Gluklya) studied at the Mukhina Academy of Art
and Design in St. Petersburg. Her work, and that of the feminist art group FFC,
has been exhibited in Russia and abroad, including at Shedhalle, Zürich (2011),
Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid (2011), Kunsthalle, Vienna (2011), ICA, London (2010),
Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven (2009), Thessaloniki Biennale (2009), Museum off
Contemporary Art, Kalmar (2008), Botkyrka Konsthall (2007), National Center for
Contemporary Art, Moscow (2006) |
