Banks not Dead
The project is based on the true-life story of the artist. The crisis which began from the banks of the USA has touched all the world. In this project, I have splashed out all the indignation and the protest against the bank anarchy which has influenced directly me, as an artist. I got a mortgage in a bank for a small studio-flat. At the peak of the crisis the bank, instead of helping the client, lifted my interest rate, which has aggravated the already intolerable situation. I understood — they will never die out, despite this everyday pity news on television channels how they burst, BАNK’S NOT DEAD! In Ukraine, there is complete outrage because the gone bankrupt banks receive huge sums of refinancing from the state, but for simple people, a loop on a neck is getting tight: the banks do not return deposits, and at the same time raise % of the rate for people who took credits!
In the works, I use the punk stylistics which was born as the protest. And with this mighty energy of the punk movement, I wish to break the armor of cars, heads, hearts, and indifference of the society of bankers-politicians-moneybags. In this project installation, video, sculptural objects, and performance are also created.
It is not just an exhibition – it is the whole movement that should wake the people up.
Before the galleries, the first exhibition space was exactly the credit studio-apartment.
