    Smoking...

I curate art projects and help artists to produce their works. I studied linguistics in St.Petersburg and cultural management in Moscow, Russia.
I am interested in social implications of art. After moving to Holland in 2003, I developed interest to questions of cultural identity, partly deriving from my own trauma. I work a lot with foreigners- artists and non-artists.
In 2004-2005 with a group of friends I ran East Area - a non-profit initiative for Eastern European artists.
I collaborated with Irina Birger on Inhalexhale- a web-based gallery for contemporary art, fashion and sound.
Together with Irina, I curated
the Gastarbeider Dating project at Mediamatic.
My other curatorial efforts include the live programme at Amsterdam Film Experience festival and the Motherland project at Kunstvlaai'6 and at the Photo Gathering in Aleppo, Syria.
I assisted Stichting ThankEve with development and production of 2 documentaries and a short film InsideOutside.

I also play myself in this film...
Inside Outside
.

My next challenge is to produce an interactive online video installation, for which different makers will provide content. I also want to organize a series of workshops about video-making in Russia. And to start my own blog.

Dreams are important element of my life.
