When Russia began gradually enforcing quarantines in late March, the country\u2019s art community followed suit. Galleries transitioned to online, performance art became virtual, and recreating famous artworks via Instagram went viral.<\/p>\n

One project, #HermitagefromHome (#\u042d\u0440\u043c\u0438\u0442\u0430\u0436\u0414\u043e\u043c\u0430<\/a>), a collaboration between the\u00a0Hermitage Museum<\/a> in Saint Petersburg and the hip Petersburg-based Sobaka Magazine<\/em>, challenges participants to post home reenactments of any artwork from the Hermitage\u2019s collection 3 million-plus pieces. Instagrammers used whatever was at their disposal, including laundry detergent, brooms, dishes and pets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another popular platform is the Facebook page Isolation\u00a0(\u0418\u0437\u043e\u0438\u0437\u043e\u043b\u044f\u0446\u0438\u044f | Izoizolyacia<\/a>), which describes itself as a \u201cCovid Anti-stress Art Flash Mob.\u201d It also asks participants to reenact famous artworks, this time from any museum collection. That said, its exhaustive rules page strongly discourages repeating artworks that have already been posted and specifically bans works that are too obvious, namely: \u201cThe Lovers\u201d by Ren\u00e9 Magritte, \u201c32 Campbell\u2019s Soup Cans\u201d by Andy Warhol, and Kazimir Malevich\u2019s \u201cBlack Square.\u201d \u201cBe original,\u201d they sternly tell us.<\/p>\n

On 21 April, the Street Art Museum<\/a> (SAM) in Saint Petersburg announced its own home isolation contest: an open call for art-makers to create pieces for their balconies and windows. The contest is open to professional artists and amateurs alike from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The winners of the contest will be chosen by a jury of experts from the museum, including director Tatyana Pinchuk, SAM\u2019s team of curators, and artistic director Andrei Zaitsev. The winner will be able to display their work at SAM when the museum reopens. So far, over 40 artists have submitted their photos. Most of the submissions come from Saint Petersburg, but Russian artists who are in Croatia, Georgia, Estonia and Austria have also contributed.<\/div>\n

Russia\u2019s architecture is rich with balconies and therefore particularly well suited to this home art challenge. Neoclassical buildings boast balconies with parentheses of Roman columns, while the Khrushchev-era projects \u2013 built to quell a housing shortage that came with the end of World War II \u2013 often feature enclosed balconies made from a chaotic bricolage of wood, metal, concrete and fiberglass.<\/div>\n

As in other art communities around the world, the quarantine has had different effects on Russian artists, both economically and creatively. Some told me that the quarantine has contributed to their practice \u2013 giving them a new topic to focus on and more open-ended time for reflection.<\/p>\n

For Ksyusha Pilipetskaya, the artist of the Saint Petersburg-based light installation \u201cSidi Doma\u201d or \u201cStay Home,\u201d window-balcony art is a way to offer her neighbors relief from the dullness of having to look at the same view day after day. \u201cI hope to support others by inserting my images into this endless Groundhog Day we\u2019re living through,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Other artists, like Van Gee of Saint Petersburg, said the pandemic has not changed his practice. \u201cEven in normal times, life in Russia is not exactly simple \u2014 you\u2019re always out of your comfort zone.\u201d This situation is obviously more pronounced, he added, but since it\u2019s only been a couple of months and there is no shortage of art supplies, his practice has remained steady.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Tatyana Pinchuk, the director of the Street Art Museum, worries about opportunities for young Russian artists in a post-pandemic world. So far, Russian regional governments have done little to support cultural spaces (particularly private museums) during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0an interview<\/a>\u00a0with\u00a0Sobaka Magazine\u00a0<\/em>published in April, Ms. Pinchuk said that when she asked Saint Petersburg\u2019s Vice Governor Vladimir Knyaginin why cultural institutions were not given support from the government in its coronavirus assistance plans, Mr. Knyaginin said that the government had \u201cforgotten about culture,\u201d but that they would come up with new plans soon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Even before the pandemic, the market for contemporary art in Russia was limited by lack of funding and political censorship. Now, the environment will be even tougher.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no market for contemporary art in Russia and there won\u2019t be,\u201d Ms. Pinchuk said. \u201cYoung artists will leave Russia to search for an audience and like-minded people abroad.\u201d<\/p>\n

That said, Ms. Pinchuk thinks the pandemic will increase Russians\u2019 interest in art. Art supply stores, for example, have seen upticks in purchases as more people are drawing and painting as a way to pass time. Ms. Pinchuk predicts that this need for a creative outlet will make people more curious to visit museums and cultural spaces, once they can open again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Timkova’s artwork is a giant registration slip, the paperwork that Russian landlords are required to submit when they have foreigners living in their apartments or staying at their hotels. The only word Ms. Timkova has filled out on her gigantic registration form is \u201cSaint Petersburg.\u201d Here is an excerpt from Ms. Timkova\u2019s artist statement: \u201cThis is a blank registration form. It\u2019s like paper proof that you have a \u201chome.\u201d These are my reflections on that subject: How can there be a \u201ctemporary home?\u201d Or is home the place where you are registered? Or is it the house where you were born? Or is it the place where you have a temporary registration?\u201d<\/p>\n
