The
Vy da Vy Sindikat, the You-and-you Syndicate, approach of making art is
strongly linked to the art of the Russian avant-garde. The group
accepted Konstantin K. Kuzminsky, poet, teacher, linguist, geologist,
former dissident and, Vydavy as a mentor for their aspiring poems and
drawings. The Vydavy Sindikat works with socio-architectural concepts
aiming at invention of utopian solutions. The syndicate’s goal is the
development of new communication skills.
In 1996 the collective started a periodical in English, under the name
Kozha/Koja: skin, epidermis, in Russian.
Under that name they also published a number of artist’s books with
poetry and art by members of the collective. The close bond between the
Vydavy sindikat and the artists and authors around the Kozha Press has
recently been dissolved |
