Review of ”It’s The Political Economy, Stupid in Austrian newspaper Wiener Zeitung
http://www.wienerzeitung.at/nachrichten/kultur/kunst/432274_Krise-tja-echt.html
January 11th, 2012
A new piece Reading Lenin with Corporations made by YEVGENIY FIKS, OLGA KOPENKINA, ALEXANDRA LERMAN is in a show It’s The Political Economy, Stupid at the Austrian Cultural Forum New York (January 24–April 22, 2012).
The project, Reading Lenin with Corporations, started as a reading seminar with corporate employees that took place in 2008 at Gallery P.S. 122 in NYC. The seminar brought together artists, writers, and businessmen to discuss the intersections of contemporary politics, economics and Lenin’s theory (particularly Lenin’s book, Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism, 1916) in relation to the collapse of the global financial market. This film was made in the fall and winter of 2011 and consists of readings of Lenin’s book with Wall Street businessmen and economists, echoing the context of the OWS movement.

Neither a Lie Nor a Confession at Court Square
September 18th to October 30th
Court Square
21-44 45th Avenue, #2
Long Island City, NY
Court Square is pleased to present ‘Neither a Lie Nor a Confession,’ a group exhibition featuring the work of Maria Antelman, Deb Karpman, Alexandra Lerman and Slavs and Tatars. The exhibition traces four discrete investigations into personal and national myth construction. Across these varied inquiries into history, politics and place, ‘Neither a Lie Nor a Confession’ reflects on conceptions of landscape or homeland and the dystopic and traumatic byproducts of historical conquest. It brings to bear the romantic heroicization of events and figures of times past, and considers how myth acquires life through image.
The exhibition will run from September 18 – October 30, 2011, with an opening reception to be held on Sunday, September 18 from 5 – 8 p.m.
