September Documentary Screenings [1]

[]

Date: 2023-09 

The Centre for Creative Practice is hosting screenings of two documentaries by Centre member Professor Kerstin Stutterheim exploring important figures and movements in art and design today .

Flies and Angels – Ilya & Emilia Kabakov and the art of the ‘Total’ Installation

Join us on Thursday 28 September from 6 at Summerhall to celebrate and explore the work of a key figure in contemporary art.

Ilya Kabakov was born in the Ukraine on September 30th 1933. He is considered one of the most important contemporary artists worldwide. There is practically no significant museum of contemporary art around the world that doesn’t show at least one of his installations. The documentary (K.Stutterheim & N.Bolbrinker) introduces his world and its relation to experienced reality. With his etchings, paintings and particularly with these installations he has together with Emilia created a phantastic world that serves as allegory and counterpoint to the reality and its many failed visions of the former Soviet Union and beyond. As in no other work, the filmmakers are in direct conversation with Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, who opened the door to their study and home to them.
