WEBSITE AND EXHIBIT- Artists' Studios in Almaty, Kazakhstan

Posted by: Zhanara Nauruzbayeva <zhanara@stanford.edu>

We would like to bring to your attention the following information
about our collaborative project.

One anthropologist and three artists are working on a multi-media art
exhibit about three generations of artists in their studios and homes
in Kazakhstan. This project documents the lives of Almaty artists
struggling to survive in the drastically changing cityscape and thus
draw attention to their importance for society in Kazakhstan.

Our blog-site (http://artpologist.net) reflects our daily
work-in-progress in the form of texts, photos, video and sound. The
entries are written in three languages: Russian, English and French.

Our work will result in an exhibit in the Soros Center for
Contemporary Art ­ Almaty on August 14th. Please, refer to the
web-site: http://www.scca.kz in order to find their new location.
