R.E.P.

R.E.P. group was founded in 2004. R.E.P. practice includes installation, video, performance, and curatorial work.

R.E.P. will open the "Motherland Shop" at Supermarket Art Fair 2010. The "Motherland Shop" presents several R.E.P. works which examine market potential of phenomena of patriotism, unique ethnic culture, the precious land of ancestors, diligence as a part of national temper. These works combine elements of pathetic state representation and commercial advertisement. Post-Soviet nationalism and post-Soviet market based society were born together, they grew up at the same time, they are coupled together and have kindred relations. Nationalism is very successful on the local market of power. The task of "Motherland Shop" is to propose some experimental models of combining national patriotic and commercial rhetoric.
