 TSERRADNIDMID DUGARSHAM

BIOGRAPHY
I was born in March 10, 1944 and I am a professional journalist. From
the year 1968 I worked in the Photo Staff at the MONTSAME news agency
as photo laboratory assistance and as a photo journalist, and retired
in 1995.
        Basically, I have been working with my photo camera for almost 50
years since the year 1963. Until present I have participated in many
domestic as well as international contests for photo taking. For
example, I won a bronze medal in the photo contest called “Interpress
foto 77” organized in 1977 in the former Soviet Union with my picture
named “Horseman”. Moreover, I won the Grand Prix Prize in the “Asian
Children” international contest organized in 1978 in Japan with a
picture named “Morning gymnastics” and also took 3rd place in a
contest of international photo journalists announced by the Soviet
Union’s “Pravda” newspaper in 1990.

MARCH SESSION 2013 Emilia Gonzàlez

Emilia Gonzàlez

Nacida en Buenos Aires, Argentina, en el año 1982. Fotógrafa profesional formada en Buenos Aires, apunta en este proyecto a mostrar la mutación del cuerpo femenino antes y después de la llegada de un hijo. Desde el propio embarazo, intenta describir la transformación física y espiritual que la maternidad genera en la mujer. En la actualidad, reside en Puerto Madryn , ciudad de la Patagonia argentina.

Project for NYBA: "Amaneciendo la mutación"

¿De qué hablamos cuando hablamos de End and Over, del “fin del mundo”? La temática de  la Biennale me lleva a cuestionarme de dónde proviene la idea del fin. Acaso, ¿no todo son  ciclos sobre ciclos sobre ciclos infinitos? Pienso que si pudiésemos detenernos por un instante,  podríamos percibir como los períodos (se) suceden constantemente; el día sobreviene en  noche y la noche en día, las estaciones rotan cada determinada cantidad de tiempo transformando  maravillosamente nuestro paisaje y nuestro hábitat, el ciclo de la vida nos sorprende de igual  manera con todo aquello que posea vida: muerte y nacimiento nos atraviesa, nos sucede, nos  llega y nos toca, nos permite SER. La Madre Tierra vive, vibra, se manifiesta cíclicamente….  Fin es también principio, continuidad, cambio, metamorfosis y renacimiento; es vivir y revivir,  es viajar en una espiral donde no podemos reconocer donde ni cuando comenzó, y desde la  cual sólo nos resta entregarnos profundamente a ese viaje. Con este proyecto, intento expresar  que la maternidad es también una transición, una transformación física, psíquica y espiritual un traspaso, “un fin y un más allá”. La madre alberga vida, entrega su cuerpo a ese nuevo  ser que se canalizará a través de ella: es preciso que haya entrega y amor. Y entonces la  Naturaleza actúa; el vientre se expande, los órganos se acomodan, el centro de gravedad se  desplaza, los senos se preparan para convertirse en el alimento sagrado, la columna vertebral  se fortalece, los pies se asemejan a raíces, el bebé es recurrente en el plano onírico, el 3er ojo  se agranda y la intuición aflora en cada respiración. Luego el alumbramiento llega y ya nada será  igual; cierta parte de esa mujer muere para dar nacimiento a otra nueva mujer, a la madre.  Transformación, mutación, transición, vida y muerte en un mismo instante. Luz y sombra, noche y día en simultáneo. El 2012 ya está aquí, ya está sucediendo… está entre nosotros. Nuevos  seres están llegando y otros están partiendo, el poder de la energía femenina está tan firmemente  enraizada a la Tierra, es tan fuerte como posiblemente nunca antes lo haya sido; los volcanes  nos hablan, se manifiestan, nos dicen que somos fieles reflejos suyos, y que es momento de sacar  afuera lo superfluo para conservar la esencia. La Naturaleza es sabia y actúa en consecuencia.  La Tierra se estremece, se purifica, tiembla para purgarse y desliza una energía por el aire que  nos lleva a igualarnos los unos con los otros: humano con humano- con árbol- con perro- con  humano: somos espejos y nos reflejamos, infinitos. Estamos en medio de una transición, somos  parte de ella. Pero, por supuesto, esta es sólo mi visión… Yo elijo ser de las optimistas, yo elijo  ver una puerta que se abre en lugar de una que se cierra, yo elijo el amor ante el miedo, la vida  antes que la muerte, la esperanza ante la desolación, la idea de transformación ante la idea del fin…  Amaneciendo la mutación como forma de vida, de entrega, de expresión.

With paintings ranging from Stencil, spray painted with the Molotov-effect, a technique developed by the artist himself, from a popular joke in northeastern Brazil, which consists of a water war with balls made ​​of paraffin. With the constant need more people express their feelings by offloading in the form of pitch,the artist plays across his face to stop the flat surface that shatters in an explosion of colors, came to the interventional technique with wax balls filled with paint thrown on a plane, intervening in the urban e nvironment as an expression of bursting colors and shapes and movements giving tone.

LANDSCAPES (Giampiero Marcocci)

   

“FINE E OLTRE”, un tema che l’autore Marcocci ha voluto esprimere con una serie di nove opere che racchiudono il lavoro intitolato “LANDSCAPES”, paesaggi.  

Ogni cultura di ogni singola civiltà, nel corso della millenaria storia dell’Umanità, ha sempre rivolto interesse alla “fine del mondo”, l’”Armageddon”, l’”Apocalisse”. 

Dal preciso istante in cui si assume il mondo come finito, emerge prepotente l’interrogativo su cosa resti, su cosa sia del mondo dopo la fine, oltre la fine.

Attorno a noi, “Là fuori”, nel mondo, tutti i sistemi sono in crisi, economia, politica, religione, medicina, scienza, governi, etica…. tutti i sistemi stanno rinnovandosi, dapprima collassando per poi rinascere maggiormente adatti all’essere umano di oggi.

Marcocci nella sua interpretazione identifica la crisi come una transizione, a tratti dolorosa ma necessaria ai fini di una trasformazione che possa rivelarsi come una grande opportunità di ri-valutazione e di ri-creazione seguendo la via di una ecologia che rispetti tutto e tutti. 

Per l’artista la trasformazione esteriore del paesaggio non può prescindere da una interiore, caotica e a tratti sofferta; emergono dal profondo e vengono portate ad una singolare e personale luce, sofferenze passate, vecchie ferite emotive, difetti e limiti , illusioni, senso di separazione e inconsapevolezza. Tutto scorre nella mente come sulla pellicola ingiallita di un vecchio film che si ripete ma non è mai uguale a se stesso, che esprime una singola visione ma che apre le porte a percezioni oggettive che fondano su archetipi della memoria umana e collettiva.

MARCH SESSION 2013 Moskalev Krill

Kirill Moskalev

BIOGRAPHY
I'm 25 years old.

Born in south of Russia in borderland with Ukraine. There are three generations of artists in my family. I've been studying in three universities for past 7 years, but I haven't graduated yet. All creative skills I have I've by myself. Now working as designer at e-learning game studio and the same time do different art such as illustration, CG art, photography. I like to be creative and find myself in everything - it doesn't matter what I'm doing: tattooing, making sites or postcards, sewing clothes or toys, writing articles or code.

Project tiltle: Memento

Author: Kirill Moskalev

Description:

Memory is the first thing in line of thinking about the theme of end

and over. What will we recollect before the end? Which parts of our

lives will flash before our eyes? The aim of this project is to

reflect memories. It represents subjective vision of some fundamental

concepts such as Time, Death and Love.

Photography as the medium for this project connected with memory

through the technique of capturing moments. All the pictures for the

project was made with Polaroid camera that reinforces the metaphor of

instantaneity and caducity of memory.

Living in the world of information chaos where thousands of images

captures our attention every moment, our mind switches from holistic

perception of people around to fragmentary perception of their

behavior, personal belongings and other details. For example, you can

hardly remember features of your close friend whom you've not seen for

a long time, but you can at once recall all the details and emotions

of a day when he was wearing a funny and bright sweater. That' why to

tell about a man or a woman in a picture it's enough to photograph

everyday details which represents he or her immaterial substance for

people around such as morning mess, crumpled bed or lost hairbrush...

Materials and techniques:

Polaroid SX 70, Polaroid 636, Expired Polaroid 600 and TZ artistic film
