59 BRIDES examined the bride fetish in western culture, flamboyant bridal performance, and serendipitous encounters with matrimonial rituals in public spaces. This catalogue presents the recycling of these lavish moments into an art project, giving them an additional purpose: a set of unexpected wedding pictures taken during spontaneous photo-interventions. 59 BRIDES captured candid, casual moments of special events during a two year journey depicting fifty-nine random wedding processions in the USA, Ukraine, and Russia.

Catalogue of BRURAL project (BRooklyn/BRonx & URALs), a series of collaborative Russian American exhibitions that explored and examined art in two distant locations: NYC and various cities in Russia's Urals. There were parallel postindustrial transformations of both regions into art hubs at the beginning of the 21st century. Between 2011 and 2016 Project59, Inc. organized five exhibitions in Brooklyn galleries (Gowanus, Bushwick) and the Bronx River Art Center. Russian partners held three more BRURAL exhibitions in the Ural cities of Nizhni Tagil and Chelyabinsk. Printed in 2023 |
Island Universe invited a group of artists to explore elements of Governors Island: Water, Wind, Light, (Is)land, and People. They transformed the rooms, stairways, and hallways of a house into a series of installations, sculptures, murals, and performances. While representing different elements of the Governors Island universe, the exhibition became itself a universe for a creative community of participating artists. May 27 - July 8, 2018 in Building 407A, Colonels Row, Governors Island, NYC. |
Project 59, Inc. initiated the BRURAL series, a collaboration between artists and curators from Brooklyn, NY and Ural region (Russia). During the first decade of the 21st century both Brooklyn and Urals were experiencing parallel transformations from relatively “rural” places into hubs of contemporary art. From 2011 through 2016 the BRURAL series provided artists and curators from Russia and the US a platform for interaction and partnership; an opportunity to present their works together and examine two worlds, their relations and juxtaposition. |
