Collaboration is at the heart of my creative practice, where I explore the interplay between desire, labor, value, and capital to reimagine social structures. By working together to create a "third space" or heterotopia, I advocate for hybridized approaches to capital, challenging binary thinking and societal norms. In this collaborative realm, new social imaginaries emerge, offering pathways to liberation from the constraints of traditional economic systems.
I believe that artist enterprises, open knowledge platforms, and the commons can be monetized for the collective good by rethinking how we manage intellectual property. We must collaboratively reassess our roles, values, and pricing as creators, occupying time and space together to disrupt the traditional art market's toxic dynamics.
Ultimately, I seek to reshape the artistic landscape through collective ownership and transformative practices. By engaging in critical inquiry, creative expression, and collaborative action, we can reclaim agency over our intellectual labor and build a more just and sustainable cultural ecosystem. Together, we can envision new models for artistic production, distribution, and engagement.
I employ Morals Clauses as a powerful legal mechanism to carve out intellectual spaces and build multi-dimensional frameworks through performance, text, visual art, and site-specific projects. These clauses serve not only to protect the integrity of creative works but also to challenge traditional structures of ownership and control.
In collaboration with artists and the public, we collectively occupy and reclaim intellectual property, fostering a shared economy that reimagines value beyond profit. Through this equitable distribution model, we reallocate the economic benefits of our immaterial labor and creative production, inspiring new possibilities for solidarity, empowerment, and justice within the cultural landscape.
Duality is Overrated: Act III - U.S.Congress copyrighted transmedia script and performance, Natalia Ivanova (Bulgaria/America) and Dima Strakovsky (Russia/America) ponder the commons as a body without organs (BWO) brimming with feelings for the Other.
Using the very personal narratives to illuminate the very public cracks in cultural organizing and emergent ethics and aesthetics tools for coalition building, access, and inclusion, Natalia and Dima occupy intellectual space at 21c Museum Hotel in Lexington, Kentucky (U.S.) on Saturday, September 17th, 2022.
Their fiery rhetoric, aimed at the libidinal superstructure of the art world, posits fragmentation and intellectual property games as alternatives to the current modalities of value creation, power, and wealth distribution.
