Antonina Baever (born 1989) is a Russian post-conceptual artist.
She works in various art genres (video, installation, object art, and painting), and either creates a field for critical rethinking of failures in contemporaneity or suggests other, more idealistic, future scenarios. She lives and works in Moscow, Russia.
Biography[edit]
Baever studied at Moscow State Art and Cultural University (2008–2010) and at Rodchenko Moscow School of Photography and Multimedia (2010–2013).[1]
As part of her artistic practice, she closely examines the cracks in the usual order of things. Analysing these errors, she looks for alternative algorithms as opposed to conventional ones, which could shift the viewer’s perspective of the problem into other dimensions and set it free from the boundaries of habitual relationship patterns. Baever thinks of faults in the late world capitalistic system as of absurd messages that she helps the audience to detect, read, and decipher, suggesting a new form of communication each time. She does not see her task in correcting these errors but only attempts at instigating the viewer to reflect on the matter in a different way.
This may include prostitutes put into an unfamiliar environment under close video surveillance, state symbols described in terms of youth slang, art activist appearing in a very intimate zone of grooming, or a viewer himself who receives unusual instructions from an artist at the exhibition.
New works by Baever feature artist’s alter ego. Moving further from conventional system of social relationships, she constructs a personal utopia and brands it, based on contemporary post-digital notions of ideal world.[2]
Artist's works can be found in private and public collections of Moscow Museum of Modern Art, MUZEON Park of Arts Foundation, Documentary Film Center (Moscow), etc.
