Post lot text

Andrei Molodkin a représenté la Russie à la 53ème Biennale de Venise en 2009. Ayant gagné une reconnaissance internationale pour ses moules emplis de pétrole, l’artiste questionne la dépendance envers cette matière première, l’une des plus anciennes au monde. Selon Molodkin, cet or noir devenu central dans le système économique mondial et dont la situation géopolitique actuelle ne fait que souligner le caractère essentiel a aussi transformé le rapport que les sociétés contemporaines entretiennent avec la culture. Fermement engagé politiquement dans la lutte contre le pouvoir totalitaire de Vladimir Poutine, l’artiste, qui vit en France, vient d’ouvrir en mai 2022 près de Toulouse The Foundry, un centre d’art conceptuel dédié à la présentation d’œuvres visant à offrir une autre vision du récit russe officiel de la guerre en Ukraine.

‌Andrei Molodkin represented Russia at the 53rd Venice Biennale in 2009. Having gained international recognition for his oil-filled moulds, the artist questions the dependence on this raw material, one of the oldest in the world. According to Molodkin, this black gold, which has become central to the world's economic system and whose essential nature is underlined by the current geopolitical situation, has also transformed the relationship that contemporary societies have with culture. Firmly committed politically to the struggle against the totalitarian power of Vladimir Putin, the artist, who lives in France, has just opened in May 2022, The Foundry, near Toulouse. This conceptual art centre is dedicated to the presentation of works aimed at offering another vision of the official Russian narrative of the war in Ukraine.
