Histories of Animation and Graphic Design : Modernism- Screening: Last Riot a video by AES+F


Last Riot 




AES+F is a groupfrom Moscow, formed in 1987  of four Russian artists: Tatiana Arzamasova, Lev Evzovich, Evgeny Svyatskyand,and the least member to join in was  photographer Vladimir Fridkes in 1995,so the name of the group changed to AES+F.
AES+F group focuses on traditional media such as drawings,sculpture and painting together with  photography, computer-based art, and video .

Their works have been exhibited at numerous international exhibitions:, Lyon, Sydney,Moscow, , Havana, , Istanbul, Bratislava, Helsinki and so on.  Russian national museums hold some of the principal works including The State Tretyakov Gallery and  Multimedia Art Center in Moscow, St.-Petersburg ,The State Russian Museum , as well as other European collections including Moderna Museet from Stockholm,in Paris: Center Pompidou ,Munich: Sammlung Goetz  and Musée de l'Elysée in Lausanne








The group's video "Last Riot,"was for the first time shown in 2007 at the Venice Biennale.This three-screen video work is set in a 3 D imaginary word and showcase in the beginning what seems to be an execution scene,a woman having a knife pressed against her neck,a men with his hands tied back in a vulnerable position.While the video has no dialog all the actors are slowing going thru to moves like in a interpretative dance.Next the video depicts an imagine future with an old taste,as a 90th magazine wold show a future city,yet the chromatic are fade,expression less moreover the nature look intentionally  cartoonish where snow-capped sit next to beaches,planes in flames and green dragons resting in top of oil platforms.





My opinion : horrible,In my view modern art is like a huge empty canvas with a red circle in the middle that cost millions.
We started to throw the term of artist everywhere and you don't need to work years in order to achieve  that.Let's make a comparison : think about a lazy obese person that spent all the time eating fast food and sleeping on the couch and let's say that the only activity that he do is to walk to the market to buy even more unhealthy food but yet the society rise him at the rang of a Olympic athlete.
So we got a person that in not in shape at all being called an athlete and a person  who can't paint but he is an artist.

''First impression: it’s red, very red. Not the gallery. Damien Hirst’s long-awaited Newport Street Gallery in Vauxhall is as pristinely white as any self-respecting mogul with £25million to splash on an entire street of bespoke exhibition spaces could justifiably expect. But, as you push open the double doors to the first gallery, John Hoyland’s paintings glow brilliantly crimson, magenta and vermillion.''
