Paragraph Projects was proud to present an evening with legendary New York-based Russian artist Vitaly Komar, at Jean-Jacques, Soho on February 18th. Renowned for his innovation, insight and humour, Komar was, along with long-time collaborator Alexander Melamid, the founder of Sots Art, an enormously influential movement which applied the ironic sensibilities of Pop Art to the dogmas of Soviet power. The impact of the duo’s work from the 1970s was recently explored at the The World Goes Pop exhibition at Tate Modern, which played host to Komar’s work again as part of their Performing for the Camera show (opened February 18th).
At Jean-Jacques, Komar gave an illustrated lecture discussing the wide range of his works with Melamid that blend the animal with the human, including their 1998 photo series ‘Moscow in Mickey’s Eyes’, co-authored by the eponymous chimpanzee, heroic depictions of pioneering dog-cosmonaut Laika, Old Master-style portraits of dinosaurs and much more. Tracing this theme over the course of his career, Komar showed how in its eclecticism, in its fusion of man and beast, Sots Art anticipated the central tendencies of post-modernism.

'The blurry snapshots of Red Square taken by Mikki present a new perspective akin to experimental photography and reference millions of photos taken by tourists on a daily basis.
Concluding that they ‘..not only teach animals, but learn from them as well’, the artists add another dimension to the idea of Relational Aesthetics. Their work goes beyond the ideas of interactions and interrelationships with the viewers, and into the realm of other species. Mocking authorship and revered artistry, be it in painting or photography, their project raises awareness of other inhabitants of our planet.'
Sotheby's on the eminent project 'Our Moscow through the eyes of Mikki' by Komar and Melamid (1998)
