ANDRÉA STANISLAV: COSMIST RECONSTRUCTIONS BY MARIA ZAVIALOVA
Sleek rigid surfaces of industrial materials and soft faunic textures intersect in Andréa Stanislav’s work. Man-made meets wildlife – two different worlds that jar and unsettle the glance. Qualities of beloved contemporary media, steel and glass, collide with those of animal fibers. There are birds, a coyote, a goat. As the eye explores the juxtaposition of materials, a realization comes that while some of the lifelike animal specimens are made from synthetic materials, others are taxidermic. The undertones of a taxidermic object are disturbing. Taxidermic objects in an art installation usher in the specter of a resurrected lifelike presence, and at the same time, manifestly, the aura of the very real death. Stanislav’s artworks have a cyborg quality to them, built from mechanical and organic body parts. Diverse elements combine to create enunciations, and the viewer is invited to read them. But what is the grammar of this language? Do we even know it? It may seem that the artist cites the all too familiar nature and culture binary – but the references are more specific. These objects enunciate genealogies that spread across a large international realm revealing the transfer of ideas across cultural and temporal zones. As the exhibition’s title would disclose, it is not nature and culture, but rather ‘biosphere’ and ‘noosphere’ that are the appropriate terms here. These diverse objects and materials spotlight the cultural moment fantasied by philosophers of the unique and little-known school of thought known as cosmism. To understand the aesthetics proposed by Stanislav, an excursion into the cosmist universe is in order. Nikolai Fedorov is the name most commonly associated with cosmism. In late 19th century tsarist Russia, a philosopher imagined a world entirely based on technological developments, exploring the ideas of a hi-tech recreation of a human being, regulation of nature, alternative sources of nutrition and energy and more – way before modern science coined the terminology to discuss these topics. Probably the most peculiar cosmist idea was the reproduction of life by scientific methods. Fedorov was fascinated with the idea of resurrecting past generations and settling planets with resurrected tribes. This resurrection from the dead was to be accomplished by science –the premonitions of genetic engineering before the human genome was discovered more than a century later. Some of the most daring cosmist thinkers envisioned a humanity colonizing the entire universe. Fedorov’s follower, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky

wrote, “Humanity as the object of evolution is undergoing changes to become, in billions of years, a unified radiating energy, the energy that will fill cosmic space.” Often called the father of Russian rocket science, Tsiolkovsky wrote numerous theoretical works on space exploration and designed rockets in his log house in Kaluga in the early 20th century, partially inspired by the idea to transport resurrected populations to other planets. For Fedorov, physical resurrection of the dead was the humanity’s primary responsibility. According to his book The Common Task, the only thing that unites all people is their mortality; hence the only common goal is the overcoming of death. It is not as insane as it seems (as Leo Tolstoy noted). Tolstoy was fascinated with Fedorov’s ideas, although he did not share his beliefs. Not only Tolstoy, but many 20th century cultural figures were captivated by the global and indeed cosmic, span of Fedorov’s thought. Without dwelling too much on the subject of resurrection, cosmism addresses the problem of organizing human life within the infinite cosmos and through endless time. In cosmist thought, technological progress transforms global environments, and the Darwinian evolution is reinterpreted in a non-biological but rather social, political, and cultural sense. Human evolution is firmly placed within the environment always already changed by humans – the noosphere. What we see and feel around us is the projection of the human mind – the unfolding of the human spirit almost in a Hegelian sense. And ultimately, at the core of cosmism is the issue of human freedom, infringed upon by time and space: freedom is not completely free if it is limited by the inevitability of death and the impenetrability of the far reaches of the universe. Too eccentric and radical for early 20th century scientific thought, cosmism found shelter in the era’s burgeoning Russian avant-garde art movements. Futurism, rayonism, suprematism, analytical art were partially fueled by these fantastic dreams. After the 1917 revolution, Fedorov’s thought broadly resonated with early Soviet yearnings for the transformation of society and humanity. Avant-garde poets, philosophers, and artists of the early post-revolutionary Soviet era were taken with the cosmist idea. Fairly unknown in the West, the bio-cosmist art movement of the early 1920s was directly inspired by Fedorovian visions. Bio-cosmists published two journals, “Biocosmist” and “Immortality,” in Moscow. The 1921 Biocosmist Manifesto states, “Biocosmism is a new ideology of the growth and creativity of a human being grounded in immortality and in the cosmos. We believe that essential human rights are the right to being, which is to include immortality, resurrection, and rejuvenation, and the right to movement through the cosmos.”

As one of the founders of the movement, A. Svyatogor stated, their aesthetic was “not historical or psychological. It is entirely goal oriented. Our creative style is not based on individual elements but on sets. We create artistic sets rather than individual images. Images are descriptions and impressions, and, as such, they are insufficient and superficial. The art of sets is based on the diversity of different combinations of elements. We are not image spreaders; we are set-makers. By the imaginative will of a creator, individual elements inhabit a set in multiple new ways. … We are set-makers, but sets for us are living cells in an organism. An art organism is our final goal.” The aesthetics of bio-cosmism may be the key to a better understanding of Stanislav’s work. In the spirit of cosmist thought, Stanislav’s artworks are sets where individual elements are interpreted based on the environment in which they are placed. The black goat breaking through the mirrored wall – nature penetrating culture, passing through the technological frontier and emerging on the other side in its resurrected state, becoming part of the noosphere. Viewed from the bio-cosmist perspective, the black goat is an exuberant animal force of joyful survival that pushes humanity through technological barriers towards its cosmic future. A wild animal was a privileged participant of cosmist thought. Published in the first issue of Bio-Cosmist journal (921), the article, “The Joy of a Playful Animal,” states, “We affirm joyful play as inner freedom. And in this, we are like a playful animal. We proclaim animalism. We all need to get in touch with our internal animal. The joy of a playful animal is our starting point and the stimulus for our movement. We turn to the primordial source of creativity. This joy fuels our unquenchable desire for immortality and our push into the cosmos. Biocosmic creativity will win because immortality and the cosmos are undefeatable and universal.” In the 1920s, bio-cosmist poets proclaimed the animal kind to be superior to humankind: ancient gods presented themselves as animals, didn’t they?
Is not the Pig the greatest of miracles? Its udder is tender and pink Like the morning sky’s vault. The Milky Way’s chalice is as full to the brink, As the Pig’s udder and likewise eternal. (1921, “Bio-Cosmist”)

Andrea Stanislav’s white peacock on a mirror structure would evoke the rich symbolism the bird has possessed across cultures. The beautiful unfolding of the tail with its starry ‘eye’ pattern has historically symbolized heightened awareness, purity, beauty, renewal, and much more. But cosmist art is not the art of individual symbols. It is a set-making art: individual connotations add up to create a futurist narrative that visually articulates itself within each set. In the cosmist universe, the taxidermic white bird would summon the vision of resurrection. The peacock is placed next to the photograph referring to a Soviet astronaut who perished during a spaceflight. There is an inscription “red star” on the pedestal. Red star refers both to the 1903 sci-fi novel by Bogdanov and the familiar Soviet symbol. Inserted into the set, the white peacock is put into a long trajectory of historical events that spells into a narrative of humanity’s journey towards the future and the complex relationships it entails. Stanislav’s art often cites a self-reflective thinking universe, the noosphere of a remote future envisioned by cosmist thinkers. The Shifter series is aglow with the Tsiolkovskian vision of humanity as living energy, scattering from its original center, the human mind. The mind is represented by a female head surrounded by diverse cultural artifacts emanating from their source, the brain. In this context, being ‘scatterbrain’ is a great achievement that shifts boundaries and transcends limitations, securing humanity’s boundless future in the cosmos. The Solaris piece presents a transformed universe of made up of one beautiful mind. Stanislav Lem’s Solaris is a referenced source. The Wishing Machine is inspired by Tarkovsky’s science fiction film Stalker (1979), his mysterious creation, “transcendental, absurd, absolute” (Tarkovsky’s 1974 diaries), based on the Strugatski brothers’ novel, Roadside Picnic. The Wishing Machine was the film’s earlier title. In Tarkovsky’s film, the Wishing Machine (represented by the Room) is the heart of the Zone, a mysterious and dangerous area left behind by travelers from space/time. The Wishing Machine reads and fulfills human wishes in their totality, but it is the hidden unconscious portion of the wish that sets in motion a sequence of events to actualize the wish. Stanislav’s Wishing Machine has at its center a horse’s skull whose rotation triggers the motion of other elements of the installation. Interpretive approaches to works of individual artists often presume that art is a sort of text that can be read, and the reading written down. Stanislav’s “Cosmist Reconstructions” art installation unfolds a context more than it spells out a text. Within this context, individual elements are not divisible into discrete objects but rather engage in a fluid interplay, as exemplified by The Wishing Machine. Informed by an original school of thought, Cosmism, Stanislav’s art is a new take on the distinguished art movement of Futurism. (Translations from Bio-cosmist publications were done by M. Zavialova for this article) Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, Maria Zavialova received her doctorate from the University of Minnesota. She is Chief Curator and Head of Exhibitions & Collections at The Museum of Russian Art, Minneapolis, MN. She has curated more than fifty exhibitions at the museum.

AFTERWORD BY BRUNO L. DAVID
6
I am pleased to present an exhibition titled “Cosmist Reconstructions” by Andréa Stanislav at the Bruno David Gallery. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. For this exhibition, Stanislav uses sculpture in concert with her collage and text constructions to tap into the utopic philosophical and cultural phenomenon of Russian Cosmism. Cosmism’s widespread reemergence is virtually unknown in the west, this early 20th- century Russian philosophy included diverse thinkers such as Nikolai Fyodorov, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, and Vladimir Vernadsky amongst others, who formed ideas of active approaches to space exploration and colonization, personal immortality, and a resurrection of the dead. Space exploration and immortality explored through film, literature and pop culture derived from Cosmism are longstanding informants in Stanislav’s work. With the fall of the Soviet Union, suppressed Cosmist texts reemerged as part of a search for a new Russian identity, and a potential answer to the longest standing question in Russian intellectual history, “Chto delat’? - What is to be done?” Stanislav’s work positions this prescient question in the present, where Cosmism is a portent, where these ideas are channeled through her experiential and concretized narratives. Stanislav exhibits several glitter on black mirror constructions from her Solaris series, including a largescale construction Champagne Supernova, made from glitter and cut refractive films suspended in layers resin on an obsidian-like black ground. These works conjure images of distant galaxies from the Hubble Space Telescope, while a subtle optical illusion of depth activates the glitter forms so that they appear to float above the work’s surface. Red Solaris possesses an uncanny resemblance to the Ivan Kliun’s 1923 Suprematist painting Red Light Spherical Composition. Stanislav became aware of this painting after the completion of her work, which gives the work a transcendent sensibility. Stanislav’s new text construction The Visitors, consists of seventy-five red glitter encrusted plaques embedded with black vinyl names of Cosmist representatives suspended between layers of resin. The formation of plaques takes on an elegiac presence of a utopia that never was to be.

Stanislav’s Shifter collage constructions are activated by fleeting optical color shifts that occur in the constructed layers of hand-cut refractive and dichroic films, woven through digitally altered hand cut images and suspended between layers of resin. The images are anchored by the soulless shells of faces that were once Russian models, with negative voids where images of human eyes once were, revealing the refractive surfaces beneath, while staring back at the viewer. Fractured images of cosmonauts, minerals, Soviet relics, abstractions, along with Stanislav’s self-referential sculptures expand in a disorderly timeline of a long 20th century. Animal forms frequent her sculptures as an interlocutor — the natural world puncturing the solid, modern form. An interruption of the old ways, the old modes of existence, these animals and objects become effigies of the past, present, and future. Through manipulation of symbolic and traditional sculptural objects (monoliths, pentagons, equestrian forms), Stanislav disrupts their signal. A black goat jumps through the mirror surface of a monolith with TMab Mirror, questioning the existence of evil in a morality relative universe, while summoning the monolith from Arthur C. Clark’s The Sentinel and 2001 a Space Odyssey. A life-size headless rotating equestrian form — The Vanishing Points, embellished with dichroic rhinestones, invokes a defeated trophy of bygone empires as it slowly spins on a circular mirrored platform. The mirrored surfaces serve to reflect, redirect, confuse and implicate, as they bring the viewer into the work, creating a “physicality of ideas”, where the metaphors in the artwork reach the viewer as a visceral experience, not simply as an intellectual or visual phenomena. Recent solo exhibitions and projects include: The Saint Louis Art Museum, St. Louis, MO; The Museum of the Defense and Siege of Leningrad, St. Petersburg, Russia. Other solo exhibitions and projects include: The 2014 Manifesta 10 European Biennial/Art-Centre Pushkinskaya-10 Parallel Public Program, St. Petersburg, Russia; Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Minneapolis, MN; Weisman Art Museum, Minneapolis, MN; 21c Contemporary Art Museum, Louisville, KY; Pelham Art Center, Pelham, NY; thisisnotashop, Dublin, Ireland; The Bemis Center for Contemporary Art, Omaha, NE; and the Grunwald Gallery of Art, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN.
