Artist Igor Samolet will discuss his project Architecture of Relationships and his experience of living in the Narkomfin Building.
In Architecture of Relationships, the second project in the series Supporting Structure, artist Igor Samolet turns to modernist architectural form and the everyday objects and narratives that he captured during his stay at the Narkomfin Building. The synthesis of these elements resulted in his monumental objects, displayed in the Communal Block, which reference the utopian hybridity of social design of the 1920s and 1930s (the garden city, the commune house, the kitchen-factory) and continue the artist’s work with the legacy of Soviet modernism and archival and personal documents. The meeting will be led by Elmira Minkina, curator of the project Supporting Structure.
