CHTO DELAT? (WHAT IS TO BE DONE?) - The Urgent Need to Struggle
9 September 2010 - 24 October 2010
The collective, made up of artists, critics, philosophers and writers,
sees its diverse activities as a merging of political theory, art and
activism. Formed in 2003, the group’s ideas are rooted in their
observations of post-Perestroika Russia, and in principles of
self-organisation and collectivism. Their work uses a variety of means
to advance a leftist position on economic, social, and cultural agendas;
they publish a regular newspaper, produce artwork in the form of
videos, installations, public actions, radio programmes and examinations
of urban space, and contribute regularly to conferences and
publications.
For the ICA Chto delat? have formulated The Urgent Need to Struggle, an
exhibition and associated season of activity which extends their
identity as ‘a self-organising platform for cultural workers’,
presenting artwork and ideas produced by multiple individual and
collaborative practices. Revolving around the publication of a new
edition of their newspaper, with a gallery display centred on the
group’s satirical musical videos and a programme of talks, screenings
and performances throughout the ICA, Chto delat? articulate the
potential for constituting new forms of living and learning.
