Autobiographical notes

I was born in Moscow in 1949.
My father was a children's writer, and my mother a chemist. They were men of his era. In the family album there are photos where the mother-school girl sitting next to Valery Chkalov, and his father in the group of pioneering naturalists imprinted with the patriarch of the breeder Michurin. I must say that from an early age in my combined often controversial interest in word and image. In more mature age, I identified it as two areas of my creative aspirations. I wrote the play and ironic studied in MSHSH. Later worked at Ernst Unknown sculpture and painting at the Alice whips, while attending lectures Philology University. Workshop of the Unknown, (where I worked for twelve years, until his departure), in a sense can be called a center of intellectual and artistic atmosphere of an era of development of our neofitsalnogo art.
. Alice I. whips put me "merry natyurmortiki, talked about his teachers Petrov-Vodkin and Filonov, showed surreal staged photography oberiutov
. A close friend of Kharms and Vvedensky, she had hitherto unpublished archive of manuscripts, diaries, unique photographs.
Since 1979, I began to constantly participate in actions of the "collective action". In the late 80-ies I have succeeded in their work to combine two elements that were previously centrifugal thrust. Now separate the highlighted word is accompanied by a number of objects in my visual elements, commentary on it and enter with him multiple relationships. Working with word, . I found it, . what I call the "pathos neuter", . focusing on the process substantivizing adjective and participle neuter: The word loses its original concrete meaning, . instead of buying something abstract sublime,
. Thus, tautology verbal-visual series creates an illusory cultural-specific semantic space. The external structure of objects using various types of traditional ideological clichц?s. On the one hand, verbal stereotypes, materializing can acquire specific tangible form, and on the other - utilitarian objects acquire the status of the global symbol. Since 1990, often in large projects I am working in collaboration with Igor Makarevich.

Criticism

Elena Elagina and Igor Makarevich has for several years engaged in Soviet archeology, history, character evidence, which we have observed for decades. For their installations are anonymous texts of the Stalinist period, . then the maximum massiveness, . but now safely neglected, under the guise of a modest role of an artist-restorers, . they seek out for a visual equivalent of these texts and thus arouse them enclosed in spontaneity, . direct effects,
. Bringing clarity to the narrative connected with some dramatization - the viewer requires the ability to believe in the fiction against him, to learn to move it.

M. Ryklin. Catalog of the exhibition "Life in the snow and other installations". The State Russian Museum, St. Petersburg 1994

. That line of contemporary artistic consciousness, which represents not only Makarevich and Elagina, but, for example, the writer Vladimir Sorokin, is striving to efficiently describe, not analyze, but seemed to respond to the resulting culture assignment
. Tasks, . not yet completed, . and the book as an elderly peasant lame, . and indicate the Red Army, . how to bury his remains in the snow, . do not belong to the sphere of professional culture, . but that layer between it and reality itself, . which in the twentieth century gave rise to the most amazing, . bizarre phenomenon, . envy post-totalitarian generation,
. Can be compared with them except by such as Plato, whose name calls to mind the atmosphere of the exhibition. Makarevich and Elagina - artists-Mythology. These installations reigns heavy spirit of romantic fairy tale with a bad end. They describe the world of ideology, but on the fundamental level, when she was still only a problem of survival. Locally-exotic (scraper and snowshoes) appears here as a primitive universal.
. "Glass, tin, wood" - three glorious exception, describing the "nature of things, from Makarevich and Elagina sound like" wood, snow, fish.
. Exclusive, wrong, strange, and is the most significant
. The combination of universalism and marginality, . importance and insignificance was not only the charm, . but the glory of the reflective art 70-ies, . from which the left Makarevich and Elagina, . in the past, members of the legendary conceptualist group "Collective Action",
. After Russia, de jure or de facto left the major representatives of this line of domestic art, . and some remaining found themselves discharged, . Makarevich and Elagina stand at his post in anticipation of a historically significant razvodiastchy, . which is not visible,
. These installations noticeable, perhaps, fatigue and decadence, but it is of great decadence of the era, with which they are infinite and deeply pessimistic forgiven.

E. Tar "Life in the snow ends in tragedy". Kommersant-DAILY, 1994, June 6

. Gesture Makarevich and Elagina is, . thus, . something quite the opposite Sots-art: not in priraschivanii under the ideology of another, . ironic, . subtext in the form of a new "edeologii", . and to emphasize, . opposite, . plan meaning, . physical presence of art, . Open view,
. "Top floor" sign is free from the connotations that this system avoids (no accident for the "Fish of the exhibition" substantially return to their words denotational, ie, the literal meaning). All this makes it the rejection of the ideology for the sake of the ontology.
