V–A–C Sreda online magazine continues its three-month series of podcasts dedicated to earth and its variety of meanings, associations, and interpretations in culture, art, folklore, and science.
In this episode, we talk about the phenomenon of the primordial. Where does the interest in the archaic in contemporary art come from? Is it possible to find a balance between the digital and material world? And how can a stool be made from baked earth?
V–A–C Sreda editor Maxim Shibaev discussed these and other questions with Maria Savostyanova, an art historian and deputy publisher of the Art Focus Now platform, and with the artists Lyosha Da and Sergey Katran.
