Arctic Art Institute[1][2][3][4] is a research and project bureau started by independent artists, curators and sociologists in Murmansk in August 2014. It organizes interdisciplinary art projects in public space and in the institutions, established meeting places for progressive professionals from Euro-Arctic Russia in the field of art, culture and education and their colleagues in Norway, Sweden, Finland and USA.
AAI represented Northern Russian contemporary culture scene at Garage Triennial of Contemporary Russian Art (2017), NEMOSKVA (2018-2020) and other major national art projects in Russia, as well as at Arctic Arts Summit (2019). Its experts have been involved in projects by Kunsthall Stavanger, Kunsthall 3,14, Oslo Art Academy, Bergen Art Academy, the National Gallery of Canada, VAC Foundation, Colección del Museo Ruso de San Petersburgo Málaga among others. In 2018, the Institute has created the first-ever Database of Creative Industries of North-Western Russia. The Institute keeps on working on research and projects on culture, creative industries and innovations in the Arctic.
The Concept
New ideas appear in a free and creative environment. By building up such an environment, we revive the local meanings and create a new future. The working process is based on unlearning and learning the Northern history anew, reviving the local memory, as well as liberation from the consequences of the internal colonization and the less known sides of the modernization of the North. Ecofeminist ideas, the decolonial approach, interdisciplinary, experimental work with arts and crafts, arts and science are essential for the participants.
