Vladimir Abikh was born in 1987 in Ekaterinburg. He got the education in
the feld of contemporary art (Foundation PRO ARTE) and flm directing.
He took part in the main programs of the Ural Industrial Biennale,
Krasnoyarsk Biennale and the Biennale of Street Art Artmosphere.
He is a three-time nominee of the Sergey Kuryokhin Contemporary
Art Award in the category of Best Public Art. The artist works at the
intersection of different media and styles: street art, intervention,
installation, video, photography. The artist's creative method is based
on the reinterpretation of the street art's heritage, on working with text
and language phenomena.

The work enters into a dialogue with the local graffti community,
hinting at senselessness and monotony of this action. At the same time,
besides the criticism, the video installation shows the possible ways of
integrating media technologies in street art. It provokes artists to use
new techniques and to widen their cultural range. The video involves the
transition of street art in the digital space. We see new street art objects
not on the streets but on Instagram and other social networks
