Chto delat?, 'Perestroika Songspiel', 2008

Time Out says Rate it

Chto Delat? - the Russian collective of artists, philosophers and writers, whose name translates as the classic interrogatory of revolutionary socialism 'What is To Be Done?' - bring an unequivocal directness. Wall drawings, with rousing appropriations from Bertolt Brecht and Jean Luc Godard, demonstrate how the academic virtuosity of socialist realism can be adapted for radical programmes. Similarly 'The Tower: A Songspiel', the projected video to be viewed from bed-like platforms to facilitate a 'different economy of time', adopts theatrical conventions, while the content rakes over the controversy surrounding energy giant Gazprom's proposal for a 77-storey tower in St Petersberg.
