ARTISTS

			Since 2001 an atelier of Moscow artists, Lily Balasanova and Sergei Kolevatykh began to evolve not only as a contemporary art show room, but also as a meeting point for those who dare to reevaluate their perspectives in accordance with the constantly-changing time and space coordinates. For the past several years, an international group of curators and artists working in various media has been involved in numerous art shows and discussions held in the STUDIO 30. As a result of mutual contemplations, the ideas of new art projects arise. The creative team is focused on art projects exploring many aspects of modernity and traditions, rationalism and the secret life of our inner beings. Now, along with Lily and Sergei, the gallery project STUDIO 30 comprises: Pat van Boeckel, (the Netherlands), Karin van der Molen (the Netherlands), Slava Balasanov (USA) and Olga Yaker (France).

A journey of six months through Indian reservations in America in 1986 marks the beginning of his development as a freelance filmmaker. Soon he found an audience in cinemas, on television and at film festivals. In his documentaries and video art, he examines the relation of man to nature and contemporary modes of meaning, aiming towards new perspectives from philosophy, religion and philosophy of indigenous peoples. His work is characterized by simplicity and is through the slow pace a comment on the speed and volatility of modern visual culture. The video production "In the beginning" won the Vermeulen Brauckman Art Prize 2008. The jury on this artwork: "It is flawlessly directed, has subtle moments and even a plot. The theme is not only updated (and at the same time remained timeless), but in fact covers the whole Christian story of "In the beginning" to the Passion. At the same time work is perfectly mundain and plain."

The theme of the upcoming art project "The First Meeting", based on the unusual story of relationships between two poets - R.M.Rilke and Marina Tsvetaeva, has come not of a sudden. It has become a result of mutual exchange of ideas and cross-cultural discussions.
