The times we live in have become increasingly uncertain, as the issues we are faced with locally and globally have become increasingly complex and difficult to contend with. Around the world, in varying degrees, small communities to national populations, have turned to the allure of authoritarianism in order to cope – placing their faith and concentrated power into the hands of a select few or one strongman leader. Although the evolution, methods, and specific outcomes of these regimes diverge between communities, one can find terrifying similarities between them: the oppression of large numbers of the population, the tolerance and often encouragement of violence, the corruption and eventual disintegration of formerly trusted institutions, and the deepening concentration of the country\u2019s wealth into the hands of a powerful few who enable and support the leader. The path that each country takes to get to the tipping point of authoritarianism may differ, but the end results are often eerily the same.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In the exhibition \u201cA Wild And Violent Sea,\u201d G.E. Vogt and Lukas \u017dalalis explore the forms that contemporary authoritarianism has taken in their respective countries, the United States and Russia. Despite the dynamic differences between the two countries, one common theme intertwining through both is their communities\u2019 preoccupation with a mythos of a \u201cGreat Past.\u201d This obsession with nostalgia often becomes an avenue which authoritarian figures exploit in order to manipulate support for their otherwise reprehensible practices. Through this lens of nostalgia for a fictionalized past, Vogt and \u017dalalis examine the harsh realities which their countries are facing: \u017dalalis from the perspective of a country fully under an authoritarian regime, and Vogt from the perspective of a country that is steadily moving towards authoritarianism.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
G.E. Vogt came to the medium of collage through her original training in performance art and political science. Since 2017, she has exhibited in various juried exhibitions across the US. In 2019, Fresh Paint Gallery held a major exhibition of Vogt\u2019s work and she spoke on the \u201cWomen In Collage” panel at the annual Kolaj Fest. Recently, she has begun curating the SoPoCollage page to showcase other artists who specialize in socio-political collage, participated in Kolaj Institute\u2019s \u201cMoney Money\u201d Residency, and directed Kolaj Institute\u2019s \u201cPolitics in Collage\u201d Residency from 2021 – 2023. Vogt is currently an artist in residence with Ideas Block where she is thrilled to be collaborating on this project with Lukas \u017dalalis.<\/div>\n

Lukas \u017dalalis is a Russian political activist and anthropologist from Saint Petersburg. His works explore the symbols and mechanisms, which have been accompanying the establishment and amplification of Putin’s dictatorship. Things that most of those growing up in Russia were trying to avoid, but eventually had to face.

Laikai, kuriais gyvename, tampa vis labiau neapibr\u0117\u017eti, nes problemos, su kuriomis susiduriame vietos ir pasaulio mastu, tampa vis sud\u0117tingesn\u0117s ir sunkiau \u012fveikiamos. Visame pasaulyje \u012fvairiu mastu, tiek ma\u017eos bendruomen\u0117s, tiek ir i\u0161tisos populiacijos, ie\u0161kodamos b\u016bd\u0173 susidoroti su problemomis susiviliojo autoritarizmu \u2013 atiduodamos savo tik\u0117jim\u0105 \u012f keli\u0173 i\u0161rinkt\u0173j\u0173 ar vieno stipraus lyderio rankas. Nors \u0161i\u0173 re\u017eim\u0173 raida, metodai ir konkret\u016bs rezultatai skirtingose bendruomen\u0117se skiriasi, tarp j\u0173 galima rasti pana\u0161um\u0173: didelio skai\u010diaus gyventoj\u0173 engimas, smurto toleravimas ir da\u017enai skatinimas, korupcija ir galiausiai buvusi\u0173 patikim\u0173 institucij\u0173 \u017elugdymas, vis did\u0117janti \u0161alies turto koncentracija keli\u0173 galing\u0173 asmen\u0173, kurie \u012fgalina ir remia lyder\u012f, rankose. Kelias, kuriuo eina kiekviena \u0161alis, kad pasiekt\u0173 autoritarizmo slenkst\u012f, gali skirtis, ta\u010diau galutiniai rezultatai da\u017enai b\u016bna bauginan\u010diai vienodi.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Parodoje “Wild and Violent Sea” G.E. Vogt ir Lukas \u017dalalis tyrin\u0117ja, kokias formas \u0161iuolaikinis autoritarizmas \u012fgavo j\u0173 \u0161alyse \u2013 JAV ir Rusijoje. Nepaisant dinami\u0161k\u0173 abiej\u0173 \u0161ali\u0173 skirtum\u0173, viena bendra tema, persipinanti abiejose \u0161alyse, yra j\u0173 bendruomeni\u0173 susir\u016bpinimas “Did\u017eiosios praeities” mitu. \u0160i nostalgijos manija da\u017enai tampa priemone, kuria autoritarin\u0117s vald\u017eios atstovai naudojasi siekdami sulaukti paramos savo, kitaip smerktiniems, veiksmams. Per \u0161i\u0105 nostalgijos i\u0161galvotai praei\u010diai prizm\u0119 Vogt ir \u017dalalis nagrin\u0117ja at\u0161iauri\u0105 realyb\u0119, su kuria susiduria j\u0173 \u0161alys: \u017dalalis \u017evelgia i\u0161 \u0161alies, kurioje vyrauja autoritarinis re\u017eimas, o Vogt – i\u0161 \u0161alies, kuri palaipsniui art\u0117ja prie autoritarizmo, perspektyvos.<\/div>\n

G.E. Vogt \u012f kolia\u017eo medij\u0105 at\u0117jo per savo pirmin\u012f performanso meno ir politikos moksl\u0173 i\u0161silavinim\u0105. Nuo 2017 m. ji dalyvauja \u012fvairiose \u017eiuri organizuojamose parodose visoje JAV. 2019 m. galerijoje “Fresh Paint Gallery” buvo surengta didel\u0117 Vogt darb\u0173 paroda, o kasmetiniame festivalyje “Kolaj Fest” ji kalb\u0117jo “Women In Collage” panel\u0117je. Neseniai ji prad\u0117jo kuruoti puslap\u012f “SoPoCollage”, kuriame pristatomi kiti menininkai, besispecializuojantys socialinio-politinio kolia\u017eo srityje, dalyvavo Kolaj instituto rezidencijoje “Money Money” ir v\u0117liau vadovavo jo organizuotai rezidencijai “Politics in Collage” 2021-2023 m. Vogt \u0161iuo metu yra reziduojanti meninink\u0117 Ideas Block Kompresorin\u0117s erdv\u0117je, kur ji d\u017eiaugiasi gal\u0117dama bendradarbiauti \u0161iame projekte su Luku \u017dalaliu.<\/div>\n

Dalykus, kuri\u0173 dauguma augan\u010di\u0173 Rusijoje band\u0117 i\u0161vengti, bet galiausiai tur\u0117jo susidurti.
