Untitled 2

The author’s project includes a video documentation of the performance made by a superhero character (the artist’s alter ego), newspaper clippings and sculptures.
The superhero searches for an appropriate place for a monument to Maria Korkmasova and Khamisat Abdulaeva — two Dagestan museum attendants who saved the canvas “Abstract Composition” by Alexander Rodchenko seizing it from a robber’s hands in the early 1990s. Khamisat Abdulaeva worked as a museum attendant in the room 6, and Maria Korkmasova in the room 7 where that work was hanging. Some robber cut out the picture, rolled it up, tucked it in and rushed away. Khamisat noticed an empty frame, told Maria quickly, so Maria ran after him and seized the canvas and thereby prevented the robbery. This story told like something ordinary seemed to the author to be a true feat. As there is not many monuments to particular women in Dagestan and after coming to the conclusion that those museum attendants are also heroes, the author decides to set up a monument to them.
The superhero looks for a place to set it up in Makhachkala, Moscow and Paris, at the Centre Georges Pompidou. At the end of the journey that includes hiking from Makhachkala to Moscow with the monument on the back, the superhero leaves the monument at the exhibition in ММОМА.
In this work, the author questions the visibility of everyday heroism and the transparency of various art institutions (western, central to this locus and regional ones).
