Partisan Logos. Project Dmitry Aleksandrovich Prigov

The creative heritage of Dmitry Alexandrovich Prigov is huge and diverse: it includes not only thousands of poems, but also novels, plays, theoretical articles and manifestos, installations, paintings, drawings and video survey. Behind Prigov’s work was a large -scale common aesthetic idea - the “D.A. Project project”, the driving force of which was performatism: the transformation of art practices into games, at the same time mocking and serious, each of which questioned the foundation of modern art. In the "Partizan Logos", Prigov’s works are shown not only in the context of the evolution of the "project of D.A. P.", but also in typological comparisons with such important figures of unofficial culture 1970-1980 x, like Vsevolod Nekrasov, Eduard Limonov, Alexey Parshchikov and others . The authors consider Prigov’s work as aesthetic anthropology of our time (late Soviet, post -Soviet, global) and at the same time as a series of experiments to create new counter -cultural languages ​​of art - what he himself called the "partisan logos".
