School of performance is a part of an extensive project called School of avant-garde which Avdej Ter-Oganjan started in 1995 and which continued until 1998. The first group of students he worked with included students of different ages with non-artistic backgrounds and their cooperation did not last long. The second group included mostly Avdej´s son´s David´s friends who were of more or less the same age. The project was an experimental introduction of inexperienced and naïve teenagers into the world of art.
They look at D'EPOG, D'EPOG looks at them. They are peeking together. It is open to participation, it likes to collaborate, it invites many artists from different disciplines. It holds workshops every summer. It is not afraid of anyone and anything; when it is afraid, it shares and overcomes its fear. It's still working on itself. It is non-transmissible although contagious. It is rare and ordinary, it is non-instantaneous and it is always fully living in the present, it is love, freedom, joy, surprise, endurance test, therapy, shared hyperempathy, reptile fantasy, livefull kid, endless party. It's WOW.
We can loosely understand the term intermezzo as a planned activity or pause deliberately "inserted" into life or work and associated, for example, with the need for rest, the necessity of transformation, a change of direction, and an escape from the rut of everyday life, everyday life, overcoming feelings of unfulfillment, the desire to help, move forward in life, or get involved in something new.
The outward appearance of Olowska’s female subjects is equally as important as the historical memories interwoven seamlessly throughout her collages and paintings. Olowska’s treatment of her subject’s materialization acts as a direct display of the spirit of the individual, which is likely to be contrasted against a uniformed surrounding reminiscent of life experienced behind the iron curtain.
Brood – Stranger’s Vial – Womb is a “game that has forgotten its own rules” and “a story without an ending.” Instead of a clear, linear fantasy, it offers a fantasy space that we view through several layers of material and media abstraction. It makes everyday objects and (in)human identities special. It invites us to notice the affects of humanity in the midst of the climate crisis, which can only be glimpsed through peripheral vision, somewhere at the edge of gilded metal. Just beware: The sides will be reversed.
