Ragnar Kjartansson's 'Three Sisters (remake of Jay Ranelli's Lost Photo c. 1990),’ 2021, i8 Gallery.
Kjartansson was inspired to create the artwork after hearing a story from family friend Jay Ranelli, who visited the first McDonald's in Moscow, where he saw three servers with name tags that read Irina, Masha, and Olga, the same names as the characters in Anton Chekhov's famous play, ‘Three Sisters.’
With the original image lost, or perhaps the original story, one of exaggerated lore, Kjartansson recreated the scenario in his studio. Within a hand-painted set, he photographed three women who represent Chekhov's epochal siblings in a replica of the Russian McDonald's branch, using a film camera to capture the same effect and texture of the original image.

В этой же галерее был Olafur Eliasson, которого я благополучно проворонила "ну камень и камень" подумала я 👉
А вот что говорит о работе Olafur:
A conical block of startlingly white ice seems to emerge from the ground as if it were the peak of an iceberg hidden beneath our feet. This pristine ice, however, is not melting. The metre-and-a-half tall sculpture was carved from Carrara marble – a material that shares with ice a capacity to scatter light rays that penetrate its outermost layer, resulting in the translucence that has made it so desirable for artists over the millennia.
The carving was based on a 3D scan of a block of ice found on Diamond Beach, Iceland. The beach gets its name from the glistening pieces of ice that wash up there and rest on the shore until they melt away.

Timothy Taylor Gallery представляла американского художника Eddie Martinez. Пространство стенда было оформленно не менее чем 2537 маленькими оригинальными рисунками Мартинеса. Они не продавалась, а служили фоном для более крупных работ в рамах, представленных по цене от $10000 до $40000, большая часть которых была продана в первый же день.
Из интересного: на аукционе 2019 года одна из его работ была продана за 1,8 миллиона евро. Но галерист Тимоти Тейлор говорит, что художникам не стоит учитывать цены на вторичном рынке🤔

Особенно видео скульптура художника Ranbir Kaleka, Synaptic Visions of Dead Time.
Ranbir Kaleka's proto-cinematic practice explores the movements and durations of time, communities, histories and identities alongside investigations of macro-factors like historical events, climate change and social realities. He often navigates psychosocial thresholds by intuitively diving into the depths of a trans-media image - pushing its representations outside of a conventional frame and into conditions of experience, and blurring the borders between the conscious and the subconscious in complexly layered compositions. Synaptic Visions of Dead Time features a skeletal structure with arches cast in the spirit of gothic noir, for a durational series of five video projections. Where Kaleka's larger practice recognizes the trajectory of the moving image across political histories, this particular work acquires greater personal significance as a visual artist dealing with the tensions of fraught images within what Michel Foucault called the "author function", or the artist's ability to perform a kind of presence in their own work.
