The BLUE NOSES are two artists, Alexander Shaburov and Viacheslav Mizin, both from Siberia. They have become renowned for their series of provocative performances that they have then documented in short video works or as photos. The caustic humour so apparent in their works targets political power structures and media clichés; no one is safe from a biting deconstruction that takes situations to the height of ridiculousness. The BLUE NOSES seem to be particularly attracted to deflating any kind of power, from cultural to sacral or worldly, especially as it is embodied in the Russian mafia, religious institutions or political leaders. Moreover, the BLUE NOSES have zero inhibitions about exposing the contemporary art scene in just the same way: those art trends that look set to limit people's individuality receive the same short shrift as do pompous moral standards.
