What is PostsovkhoZ? PostsovkhoZ started as open forum to question the social, cultural and economic issues facing rural life in post-soviet Estonia. PostsovkhoZ has developed into a multi-purpose, cross-discipline event for creative interventions in a context-specific location. PostsovkhoZ encourages both the exchange of ideas and the realization of short term artistic projects within a 10 day event. PostsovkhoZ is hosted by MoKS, an NGO cultural organization dedicated to local and international cooperation in the fields of arts, social and environmental research in Mooste, Estonia (pop. 520 people, 48km SE of Tartu). This years theme... Public / Private: >> space, information, ownership, land, law, access, funding, networks, institutions, healthcare, education, records, debates, public domains, private interests >> In recent years the questions, debates and struggles over public and private have grown considerably, both in depth and the contexts in which they apply. Nearly every aspect of contemporary society (even within a global perspective) has been affected by a strong line dividing the spheres of public and private. We are continually confronted with the rights, discriminations and privileges of both of what is defined as the public and private sectors. Some of the changes between public and private are done with our knowledge or consent yet more and more decisions are being done without. So why is the division of public and private becoming stronger and in what ways do we ourselves begin to distinguish the difference between the two? In this case, the notion of choice is something new as many things once openly accepted as public have now come under private control or things once in the shadow of private realms have now become accessible by the general public. As this line has historically shifted back and fourth in different ways, in different places, is it any different now? Or are we confronting a unique condition beyond the local and national states, as we are increasingly subject to tides of change on a global scale. As artists and creative citizens, the division of public and private raises many issues regarding our survival, our role and the purpose of our work. As organizations and institutions how do we deal with finding support through private donation versus public funding. Our very opportunities are often based on these fundamental choices, whether we focus on public interest or private enterprise, public responsibility or market oriented success. To what degree do we compromise and adapt our principles and ethical values or conceptual and aesthetic ideas based on the demands of the public and private sectors and how often are these boundaries unclear and even deceptive in their nature? Much of these factors affect what we do but at what point do we discuss them in the continual process of our work? Although, broad and diverse in scope, we will attempt to bring the issues surround public and private to the size and time scale of PostsovkhoZ 5. We encourage stories and models from personal and collective histories to be shared and explored, as well as projects and possible outcomes of these experiences to be realized. What to expect... The 10 day event, taking experiences from previous PostsovkhoZ events, attempts to instigate cooperative activities within local community and between a temporary international artistic community. This artistic community has always encouraged cooperation of Estonian artists and artists from abroad. Involvement will become real through the planned places of activities (village “central” square, farm buildings, open spaces) and projects (joint workshops with children or village theatre). PostsovkhoZ challenges exclusionary culture through inclusive participation and challenges the role of the artist and their means and methods of creative expression. Within the event we hold a one-day seminar and open discussion forum, a group excursion through southeast Estonia, a week-long work and exchange period as well as a final public exhibition and performance event. Viiendat aastat leiab Moostes, Põlvamaal aset rahvusvaheline kunstifestival POSTSOVKHOZ. Sel aastal on ürituse satelliittoimumiskohad veel Rasinal ja Tartus Y-galeriis. Ü rituse idee on algusest peale lähtunud konkreetsest paigast (Mooste) ning kuidas üldised muutused ühiskonnas kajastuvad selle paiga füüsilises ja sotsiaalses ruumis. Keeruline nimi PostsovkhoZ koosneb sõnadest POST (pärast) ja SOVHOOS- maakeeli siis peale sovhoosi. PostsovkhoZi eesmärgiks on ärgitada koostööd kohaliku kogukonna ja rahvusvahelise kunstnikkonna vahel. See realiseerub kunstiprojektides küla avalikes ja peidetud ruumides ning kunstnike ja külaelanike koostööprojektides. Mooste KülalisStuudio (MoKS) korraldatavad PostsovkhoZ nime kandvad mõtte- ja keskkonnakunsti talgud tegelevad juba viiendat aastat üleminekuühiskonna eripära ja probleemidega. Kohtumispaik on viis aastat olnud sama – Mooste alevik Põlva maakonnas. Selle aja jooksul on ühes kohas toimuvad ja nähaolevad protsessid andnud ainest erinevateks teemadeks: PostsovkhoZ Person & PostsovkhoZ City, Strata, Territooriumid, Isolatsioon. Viienda PostsovkhoZi põhiteema on Avalik- Era, mille teemadering käsitleb avaliku ja erasfääri muutumist postsotsialistlikus ühiskonnas ja sellest tulenevaid probleeme ja võimalusi. Märksõnadeks on: ühiskond, raha, võim, maa, seadus, omand, erastamine, ühishuvi, kollektiiv, individualism, avalik ja eraelu, ruum, informatsioon, seadus, ligipääs, rahastamine, võrgustikud, institutsioonid, tervishoid, haridus, debatid, vabavara, erahuvid, protokollid,... MIS TOIMUB POSTSOVKHOZIL? PostsovkhoZ on intensiivne kümnepäevane loominguline labor, kuhu sõidab kokku üle 30 kunstniku 14 maalt (Eestist, Kanadast, Jaapanist, Valgevenest, Lätist, Leedust, Poolast, Soomest, Ameerikast, Sloveeniast, Makedooniast, Austriast, Inglismaalt, Itaaliast). Töönädalal teostavad kohalesõitnud paiga ja ürituse teema spetsiifikast (avalik- era) lähtuvaid valdkondadevahelisi kunstiprojekte, kus näiteks joonistuste abil kogutakse kohalikku folkloori, seatakse üles uudishimul toimivaid heli-installatsioone, pannakse püsti üks kummaline kauplus, tehakse indiaanisauna ja jäetakse sajal muul moel jälgi külaruumi. Töönädalal valminut peaks saama näha laupäeval 13. augustil ja pühapäeval 14. augustil mitmekesise näitus- ja tegevuskunsti programmi näol. Lisaks töönädalale leiab POSTSOVKHOZil aset veel teemakohane seminar, õhtused diskussioonifoorumid kunstnike-korraldajate ja kunstikriitikute esinemistega, osalejate presentatisoonid, seinamaali ja kodulehe tegemise õpitoad, filmiõhtu, lipunäitus ja osalejate ekskursioon Lõuna Eestisse. |
