Irina Petrakova: being not relevant is very fashionable
Irina Petrakova was born in 1981 in Siberia in the city of Ust-Ilimsk. Now she lives and works in Moscow. In 2011 Petrakova graduated from the Institute for Problems of Contemporary art founded by Joseph Bakstein. In 2014 she finished Anatoly Osmolovsky’s institute for contemporary art BAZA.
Petrakova uses different media such as objects and installations, performance, graphic art and painting. We met with the artist in her studio, a sacred space where her art is being created. Irina told us about how to cancel the skill of classic drawing, how to react to criticism and what why would a human lick the fur.

Какой чудесный художник, открытие для меня
Quel artiste !!!
Было интересно
скипидарный торчок!!!! 😂
Спасибо за знакомство с интересным художником ! ❤
Молодцы,красавцы!
прекрасные художники и интервью!
после 330 завертываний думал что скульптура будет намного больше по габаритам)
I am the eye in the sky... All this is my life story I've uncovered myself. No one's help. Surely not anything electric... It hasn't been easy by far .. But this ending or I'll say succeeding will be for all the ppl who doubted my life and my existence. ... The piece was beautiful btw.... Thank you
hi there
Очень рада видеть вас вместе !!! Миша похорошел вместе с Машей!! Good luck👍🙏🙏‼️
Вы класснык👍‼️
Очень интересно! ( - _- )
современному искусству свойственно вот это бесконечное дилетантство - мы исследуем, мы проводим параллели, но не разобравшись в вопросах, а скользя по банальным верхам и это в 90 процентах так. между религией и виртуальной реальностью ищут ребятки параллели... иностранные попы хорошие, а местные плохие..) омг
Okkk
God is watching and caring for me and not the devil!
but God don’t need any symbols to show)
Кукуха у них однозначно поехала....
Восторг! Знания и харизма лектора восхищают! Подписка сразу...
Огромное спасибо! Потрясающе интересно, блестящие комментарии. Искусство видеть искусство, почти утеряно. Но вы даёте прекрасную возможность оттолкнуться от рисунка и увидеть мастера и его эпоху!!!!!!!
Андрюша похорошел 👍
Спасибо, очень интересно , крутые парни!👏👏👏
Спасибо большое, а парни и правда отличные :)
Очень...
Спасибо, стараемся!
Хорошо! Подписываюсь.
Ура!
💜👍
Отличное интервью! Спасибо RAF!
Спасибо, очень интересная экскурсия. Катя же не перебивала рассказчика, а, просто, молодость и восторженность выходила из "берегов". Это пройдёт, к сожалению.
Чересчур громкие и не к месту выкраивания этой Кати испортили всю экскурсию!! Перебивать, да и ещё и рассказчика, неприлично!!!
Спасибо, очень интересно. В руке у Симона Зилота пила (если сделать стоп-кадр и увеличить, то видно), смерть апостола была мучительной - он был распилен заживо.
Спасибо, присмотрелись - действительно пила
