NONSNS LOVE AFFAIRS: A Happening and Reading of a Play in Three Acts

Date

Schedule

19:30–21:00

Place

West Gallery

DESCRIPTION

NONSNS LOVE AFFAIRS. A TELEGRAM GAME is a continuation of the social media marketing performance developed in February 2022 and organized via one of the social media accounts of the art group NONSNS.

That performance not only appropriated typical SMM language as an artistic language, with all its expressiveness and tools, but also became an act of complicity and unification in the process of the game for all of the participants.

At the happening at Garage, viewers are invited to continue this game and expand it through their participation.

The use of autocitation and pirate speculative strategies is typical for the collective, whose works are often absurd and not always recognized as art, mimicking instead the usual forms and features of mass culture. Each visitor will receive an excerpt of text and become a participant in the reading and will also have the opportunity to supplement the text with their own comments.

ABOUT THE PRESENTERS

NONSNS (founded 2019) is an independent hybrid self-organization and art group made up of Gosha Golitsyn and Maria Cheloyants that interacts with session participants and viewers. NONSNS periodically changes its identity as a group and prioritizes the artistic process, attempting to avoid the standard approach to exhibition practice. The artists work with the typical languages of mass culture and use its various media, reassembling them in the artistic field and demystifying them using the aesthetics of error.
