AES+F

First formed as AES Group in 1987 by Tatiana Arzamasova, Lev Evzovich, and Evgeny Svyatsky, the collective became AES+F when Vladimir Fridkes joined in 1995. AES+F work at the intersection of traditional media, photography, video, and digital technologies. They define their practice as a “social psychoanalysis” through which they reveal and explore the values, vices, and conflicts of contemporary global culture. AES+F achieved worldwide critical acclaim in 1999 for their “Islamic Project,” which depicted various Western postcard city landscapes manipulated to appear colonized by Islam. AES+F cemented their reputation as a contemporary art powerhouse in the Russian Pavilion at the 52nd Biennale di Venezia in 2007 with their provocative “Last Riot,” the first of their now signature large-scale, multichannel video installations. Following a large survey exhibition in 2007 at The State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, AES+F's next three large video installations titled “The Feast of Trimalchio,” “Allegoria Sacra,” and “Inverso Mundus” debuted at the 53rd Venice Biennale, 4th Moscow Biennale, and 56th Venice Biennale, respectively. The group has had more than 100 solo exhibitions at museums, exhibition spaces, and commercial galleries worldwide.
