The very fact that such a high-quality artistic statement is possible in this situation gives rise to a degree of optimism and hope in the ability of Russian modern art to be reborn through the proclamation and visualization of a new complex reality.

In this short review, I will tell you about the Art AID Israel-Ukraine exhibition at Sotheby's Tel Aviv, as it, firstly, well represents a cross-section of sought-after local authors, and secondly demonstrates a successful example of interaction between horizontal initiatives and large institutions.

Texts by Timothy Morton, Donna Harway, Karen Barad and other apologists of posthumanism are increasingly being cited in descriptions of work concepts. However, this essay does not pretend to quantitative conclusions, on the contrary, its critical focus is to consider specific examples of the refraction of these trends in the works of modern authors, among whom, despite the similarity of philosophical foundations, not all are moving towards the gaining popularity of deep media.

Imagine that you come to the residence without knowing who lives there, and there in one place are those artists about whom you made sketches while still a student/student of the university, reflected on their creative path and were inspired by their projects for personal exploits?

In addition to the conspiracy theory, wandering through the floors of the Ekaterina Foundation, one can also believe in synergetic processes, since interconnections and dialogues were found in the vast space with mini-exhibitions from various galleries. For example, at some point after meeting with three urinal works of various authorship (Semyon Motolyanets, Vasily Slonov and graphics with an unknown author), I involuntarily began to look for a continuation of the sequence. Still, Duchamp is still with us, and the urinal still fits into the interior gallery spaces and occupies a worthy psychanalytic place of a latent phallic symbol there.

The creators of the project use the term "alternative reality" as a metaphor for social exclusion: homeless people are often excluded from the public field and seem to exist in another world. The future shelter of the Nochlezhka charitable organization will become a space for artistic research as a portal to another reality.

"TemperatYRA!" is dedicated to the topic of "overheating" of the creative and emotional state of the artist and the environment in which he works. Temperature, as an indicator of the condition, the degree of heat, an indicator of ill health. The authors of the project ask themselves the following questions: where can I get a tool for measuring creative tension in the space of contemporary art? Is it possible to create it? How accurate will it be? One of the goals of "TemperatYRA" is to track what topics artists are really interested in?
