+ home-video “Occasion with one guy” (54 min.) – funny film on political and social
situation in Belarus, made by the stuff of a political-satirical newspaper “Navinki” (prize

Oleg Kireev is an art critic and political campaigner a curator of the Ghetto
(www.getto.rema.ru) project
Mailghetto is an unregular mailing list of different people's subjective opinions on
politics and culture. All mailghetto texts can be printed, translated and distributed
without any permission from the authours.
“… Moscow is a new megapolis. The city is exceptionally rich and expensive, and is
constantly infused with investments. But, at the same time, stagnation of cultural activity
is obvious. Less enthusiasm, less ambitions – unlike the times when avantguarde
cultural and political circles were really prestigious. The same kind of stagnation hit the
radical political life, which frequently comes into contact with the world of art and
literature (remember the radical leftist activities of actionist artists in Yeltsin’s era). Both
press and TV abstain from surveying acute political conflicts, besides, there is strict
division between private and public life style. In general, one can register
depoliticization being underway. Now Russia completely lacks any public opinion, which
in previous times was so strong and influential. But this new situation gave birth to
numerable new forms of artistic and social activity. 1st of May street parties. The SVOI
2000 movement. Youth non-commercial and home-made video. Russian alternative
Internet. Artist run spaces. Non-spectacular art and, last but not least, neo-hippyism…”,
(Oleg Kireev).
