Tim Parchikov: Features of Intuition
The Moscow Museum of Modern Art presents the exhibition of a young Moscow artist Tim Parchikov Features of Intuition, which brings together several of his projects: Foundation Pit, Suspense, Impossible Puzzle, Iceland. Runes, Shooting Room, Moscow Negatives, and Burning News. His art incorporating photography, video and neon 鈥� a medium novel for the author 鈥� explores historical, social and metaphysical context of the today鈥檚 world.
The Suspense project commenced in 2003 in Moscow and is still underway during Tim Parchikov's journeys around the globe, including his recent stay at the Swatch artist residence in Shanghai. The project focuses on an unresolved conflict, an inconclusive situation, a bunch of vague unfathomable anxiety. Suspense marked the cinematography after the World War II, almost immediately taking on a new meaning in the contest of the second wave of existentialism, and fitted perfectly to express that unconscious anxiety that was overwhelming the post-war world. Parchikov鈥檚 project of the same name is a visual manifesto of a new 鈥榣ost鈥� generation of young people who at the turn of the century gained total freedom of information and movement. The illusion of total communication, together with the loss of integrity of the value orientation system, has led them to loneliness and endless search for the lost identity. During this trip, any stop and any encounter with reality is suspense.
In the Moscow Museum of Modern Art exhibition the photographic part represented by Suspense is supplemented, on the one hand, by the installation Mene, Tekel, Upharsin , on the other hand, by the video installation Shooting Room. Mene, Tekel, Upharsin reproduces the mysterious inscription that appears in Rembrandt鈥檚 Belshazzar's Feast, depicting a passage from the Book of the Prophet Daniel in which, during a banquet, a fiery inscription appears on the wall in front of the Babylonian king and predict the fall of his kingdom. Tim Parchikov decontextualizes the prophetic words and turns them into a glowing neon advertisement. The video installation Shooting Room places the viewer in an execution chamber with no way out.
