ARTIST STATEMENT

Robert Baramov is artist and curator whose works respond to discrimination based on a formal separation of the former East or West, political isolation, race, gender, speciesism, habitat, aspects of feminism etc. The documentation of his actions demonstrates a specific way of applying the attention and signed  documents of authorities by political leaders or influential representatives of the cultural society. To present his ideas, the artist uses different ways to combine new media with traditional techniques, thus believing that a good idea can be described as well on a small sheet of paper or a big-sized canvas as by realizing a large-scale installation or actions in urban environments.
