1. bobo art group

2. bobo
art group

3. ‘bobo’ art group gathered together in january 2015 when anna isidis,
natalia petukhova and leonya tsoy started to share an apartment in
saint petersburg (russia).
the group is developing the intim-art, practicing home exhibitions,
performances and creative workshops.
this intim-art movement is just dealing with a current situation in saint
petersburg where the vesitors of the art events mostly belong to a
same community of young artists and their friends.
so overcoming their despair of this ambivalent funny and sad state of
things the three comrades ceased to try to achieve fame and fortune
and everything that goes with it and started to make careless art for
themselves and their close friends.
unexpectedly the exhibitions and home festivals sometimes attract
more visitors than the house can accommodate.

(spring 2015)

rejected” included the
