Full title: «Mode to work (How to create modern art on socially relevant topics)». A friend of the artist Shaburov, named Aelita, worked as an art director in a magazine about fitness and culture, and at every meeting she said, «Do something with our cultures! What about them? Shaburov’s artist and his partner in the Blue Nose Group, Misin, thought, just recently, in the USSR, the main heroes of art were laborers, and the goal of life was creation, which now for some reason has been called „creative“. These are only healthy diets and pointless muscle injections. So why don’t you bring up the topic of work in art, just in modern ways, and connect it to the glossy style of fitness magazines? To put it simply, drag the jocks to the factory and get them to work. At least put the floors in. They set up an exhibition, but in a week, it turns out Aelita couldn’t make a deal with the jocks, and the factories are completely shut down. On Ural, they’re at every step, and in Moscow, Shaburov doesn’t even know anyone who works at the factory. They barely found both. Turns out the artist Philipov has a sister, Asa, director of the cardboard factory. It’s now the Fabrica Centre for Creative Industries. Then I don’t understand how we agreed with Belarus’s team for culturalism. That’s why they took them off at the last minute and in the aural mode. The lamp was broken along the way, so it didn’t turn out completely flat and it wasn’t everywhere sharp, so come on.
