The COVID-19 pandemic became a pretext for artists and activists to resurrect the problem of death and methods of working with it. Now after ...

Kruchenykh’s archive should be considered a cultural institution and at the same time an artistic practice. However, the concept of “archive” in relation to Kruchenykh’s creative phenomenon is rather conditional, because its components are dispersed around various Russian and foreign private and state repositories. Kruchenykh’s albums are a separate “archive in the archive”: a superarchive. ...
