Ilya and Emilia Kabakov - ‘The Viewer is the Same as the Artist’ | TateShots

The Kabakovs are widely known for their large-scale installations and wide range of paintings and sculptures which draw upon the visual culture and symbolism of the former Soviet Union.
From dreary communal apartments to propaganda art and its highly optimistic depictions of Soviet life - their work addresses universal ideas of utopia and fantasy; hope and fear.
For this episode of TateShots we visit them in their Long Island home in New York where they have been living for over thirty years as they prepare for their first major UK museum exhibition at Tate Modern.
See the exhbition 'Ilya and Emilia Kabakov: Not Everyone Will be Taken into the Future' at Tate Modern until 28 January 2018: www.tate.org.uk...

When she said they were living in paradise but it was boring ,that was so true of so many artists ,the success they seek can take them to exactly the place that destroys them as artists .

THE LIGHT PRESERVED IN THE INSTALLATION
for Ilya and Emilia Kabakov
there will be light
coming from no direction
not even from the sun
or the midnight one
preserved in the installation
who can say
by what method
snow is falling outside
the temporary windows
by no method at all
a single light bulb
and white rainbows
flooding the scene
you think you remember
though you are not
from that country
but suddenly
the names of all lost things
are calling
your name
as you stand there
as they did once
in school or sainthood,
taking attendance
the soft light diffusing
what you knew
of yourself
flown into an expansive space
with your half wing fluttering
where have you come from
they ask you in the corridors
as if they knew themselves
the children whispering,
the answer that is floating away.
and are just testing out
on you, the nonenity,
a potential new play.
your insistence on the colour of summers then.

GSSR art it'd impossibly fused with colours and effective Kandinsky's relativement taste.

That's too short of a video about them.

Wow
