V–A–C Sreda online magazine presents a new three-month series of podcasts dedicated to the earth and its variety of meanings, associations and interpretations in culture, art, folklore, and science.
In this episode, we talk about dinosaurs. Why are they portrayed as scary and evil in popular culture? What is paleoart and is it possible to find ancient lizards in contemporary art collections?
V–A–C Sreda editor Maxim Shibaev discussed these and other questions with Nikita Gruzovik, a designer and founder of an eponymous clothing brand; Anna Vasilieva, an art historian and senior researcher at the Department of Collections at the State Darwin Museum, Kirill Svetlyakov, a leading researcher at the Department of Russian Art of the First Half of the 20th Century at the Tretyakov Gallery.
