M.ICA cordially invites you to the opening of Vadim Tziganasj's  
exhibition Cut / Vágás on April 21, 2011 at 4 p.m.
At 3 p.m. Vladimir Us, the curator of the exhibition will present  
their projects in Oberliht Association, Moldova, and introduce the  
exhibition.

In an era when cultural and social programs and activities are mostly  
concerned over issues and problems regarding urbanization processes,  
the unofficially stated movement called “rural revolution” grows  
throughout the world.
The Canadian magazine “The Landowner”, with its front cover  
statement “rural people, rural politics, rural business”  
exemplifies the general rural tendency of separation and independence  
from urban lifestyle and state policies. The growing awareness over  
the need to seek for ways to preserve ones’ identity, traditions,  
security and the fundamental principles of natural justice has forced  
villagers worldwide to protest against rascal legislations on  
privatization, forest management, indigenous rights and wildlife  
habitat.
Acting as a key aspect of rural life, the firewood cutting practice  
finds itself nowadays at the crossroads of historical imagery of  
man’s careness for family welfare, and a possible symbol of rural  
resistance against urbanization, escaped savagery, or poverty. It  
wouldn’t be wrong to presume that the firewood cutter is not far to  
become (unless it didn’t unofficially become already) a character to  
follow the state of the factory worker, or the miner, in this sense  
completing the list of characters that changed the public perception  
towards them as from a person engaged in a profession involving  
physical activity, to one of social and/or political activism. Sharp  
controversies upon turning forestry and wood production into a private  
business and therefore reducing public access to free collecting of  
savage wood drives debates, while general demand for firewood  
continues to increase.
The project aims to locate the firewood cutting practice at a point  
that links issues concerning the energy resources management and  
aspects regarding household and family routine.
Miskolc is known as a post-industrial town. Apart from the blocks of  
flats buildings on the sides of the main streets, it is a town mostly  
formed by districts of houses which, in fact, are carrying a rural- 
type identity, from more or less fancy ones to those inhabited by  
middle- and the low-class families. Firewood burning is an alternative  
method of warming. But with the forest management and wood stocking  
becoming more and more a private business, this forces the question:  
for how long?
The exhibition follows the artist’s research on urban warming in  
Miskolc in November/December 2010 and wants to open new discussion  
items in our concern to understand the different interpretations that  
define borders between what is “urban” and what is “rural”  
identity, common practices and collisions between them, as well as the  
problems that may affect their both way of development and alteration.

Vadim Tziganasj a városi urbanizáció kérdéseit feszegeti az 1  
hónapos rezidenciaprogramot követő kiállításában. A "rurális  
revolúció" néven terjedő világ körüli mozgalom (olyan  
hívószavakkal, mint identitás, tradíció, biztonság,  
természetvédelem, privatizáció, erdőgazdálkodás, bennszülött  
jogok, vadgazdálkodás) a városi életmódtól és állami  
közművektől való eltávolodást és függetlenedést helyezi  
tevékenysége központjába.
A művész a "revolúció" tükrében vizsgálja a lokális  
jelenségeket: a széles spektrumú tevékenységekből a favágást  
és tüzifa-gazdálkodás gyakorlatát kiemelve, mint a férfi- 
családfenntartó szerep szimbólumát és a vidéki életmód  
jellegzetességét, vagy mint az elszegényesedési folyamat jeleit.  
Tziganasj helyi favágókkal, erdőgazdaságokban dolgozókkal  
megismerkedve fejti fel az erdő és energiagazdálkodás helyi  
problémáit, energiafelhasználást párhuzamba állítva a  
háztartási rutinnal, a városi fűtési és fafelhasználási  
gyakorlaton keresztül rákérdezve a "városi" és "vidéki"  
identitás határaira és szimbólumaira.
