Chto delat?

Now – 24 October

At the ICA, Chto delat?, a Russian collective made up of artists, philosophers and writers, presents an exhibition and associated season of activity which extends their identity as ‘a self-organising platform for cultural workers’. Revolving around the publication of a new issue of their newspaper, a gallery display centred on the group’s videos and a programme of talks, screenings and performances Chto delat? articulate the potential for constituting new forms of living and learning. Artists involved in this exhibition are Tsaplya (Olga Egorova), Nikolay Oleynikov, Gluklya (Natalya Pershina-Yakimanskaya), Nina Gasteva, Vladan Jeremic/Rena Rädle and Dmitry Vilensky.

Formed in 2003, Chto delat?’s ideas are rooted in their observations of post-perestroika Russia, and in principles of self-organisation and collectivism. Their work advances a leftist position on economic, social, and cultural agendas; they publish a regular newspaper, produce artwork in the form of videos, installations, public actions and radio programmes, and contribute regularly to conferences and publications.
