{"isbn":9781350905207,"description":"Interview with AES + F, Serge Spitzer, David Eliott.\n \n AES + F\n Russian based photo-conceptualist group AES (made up of artists Tatyana Arzamasova, Lev Evzovitch, and Evgeny Svyatsky). The artist collective combines conceptual architecture, graphic arts, animation and photography to create fantasy worlds combining classical western mythology with contemporary global consumerism. Their acclaimed work \u201cThe Feast of Trimalchio\u201d retells Petronius\u2019s epic poem from the \u201cSatyricon\u201d for a twenty-first century audience. Using the imagery of high-fashion, cinema, lifestyle magazines, and luxury design, \u201cThe Feast of Trimalchio\u201d is an Olympic-sized orgy of wealth and pleasure. \n Serge Spitzer\n Serge Spitzer (born Romania 1951) is an American artist who uses sculpture, site-specific installations, works on paper, photography and video to question, explore and reflect on the shared reality everywhere. What ties his works together since the 1970s has been the challenging of assumptions. He gives a clue to this by calling his works \u2018reality models\u2019, alerting the viewer to the possibility that what we are looking at is perhaps an altered or amplified aspect of the world around us. Whether transforming architectural spaces by flooding them with hordes of unexpected, incongruous objects, or arranging a seemingly endless piece of thread into a tangle of lines as a \u2018drawing\u2019, Spitzer manages to gift his audience with a sense of wonder. \n David Eliott\n David Eliott (born UK 1949) was an artistic director of the 17th Biennale of Sydney. He is a cultural historian whose main interests concern contemporary art, Russian avant-garde and the visual cultures of central and Eastern Europe, Asia and the non-western world from the late nineteenth century. Beginning in the early 1980s, he formulated a series of pioneering exhibitions in one of the first programs to integrate non-western culture with contemporary art. He has published a large number of books, articles and catalogues on these subjects and has curated many exhibitions. He has also written extensively about the present-day role and function of museums and contemporary art. Kostas Metaxas is an Australian Director, Producer, author and editor of a number of works on contemporary art, design, fashion and theatre.
