"Taiga", 2023, acrylic on canvas, club painting, 40x40
He uncovered his club to support the Siberian independent media -
Tayga.info (
https://tayga.info/) - working in these most difficult times for journalism despite war, censorship and blocking.
Why is Taiga dear to me? It was launched in 2004 in Novosibirsk, and I, as an art provocateur, launched there shortly before. What resources did young Siberian artists have at that time? Garbage, sticks and independent media. From such a set, everything began to be, and without it - you yourself understand.
Today, Tayga is holding an online auction (
https://tayga.me/) for the survival of the editorial staff. There are 38 lots in the catalog - this is art from Siberian artists, autographed books from Siberian and non-Siberian authors, Siberian merch and artifacts. Bidding will last a week, you can not buy anything, but just donate and share.
Siberia will be free.
