Liza Morozova."Liza and the Dead
ESCAPE Gallery, International Fair "Art Manege".


It was the first piece of nonspectacular (invisible) art on the Moscow art scene. First it was exhibited in the ESCAPE Gallery, and then at the "Art Manege" fair. The installation included a series of "portraits" of great people, whom the members of the project consider to be "the patriarchs of performance". The installation represented the room of an artist Liza Marozova, where among other possessions were the signs that reminded of that characters of the past: "Chapaevskiy's" bread sticks, a cup with a portrait of Leo Tolstoy, a business card of "Caligula" department store and a "Casanova" stationery bike.
This way of exhibiting the "portraits" of the great performers of the past was chosen for the reason that their images, according to the members of the project, have so deeply sunk into mass culture and gained new meanings, that it's impossible to extract them back.
During the whole period of exposition Liza Morozova lived in the installation, permanently typing up on the computer the names of the "dead" characters mixed up with the names of exhibition's visitors.
