Kirill about himself: “I am a non-video artist from Vitebsk: for me, life itself is art. Nevidivism (Non-vidivism) is my author’s direction, which essence is constant liberation. This direction continues the postulates and traditions of Suprematism by Kazimir Malevich and the school UNOVIS , creating a bridge of ideas between the historical avant-garde and modern Vitebsk. A local community has even formed around the direction. In my artistic practice, I use various media: performance and actionism, painting and graphics, sculpture and objects, video and photography, texts and manifestos."
Organizers of the residence: platform KALEKTAR , Ambasada Kultury (Belarus/Lithuania), Municipal Gallery Arsenal in Poznan (Galeria Miejska Arsenał). We express special thanks to Ewelina Muraszkiewicz and the Theater of the Eighth Day (Teatr Ósmego Dnia). Residence curator: Sergey Shabohin , assistant: Pavel Preobrazhensky . The project is carried out with financial support from the German Federal Foreign Office.
