This is me prepping a short talk next week at THE COLLECTIVE BODY DISMEMBERED conference on Histories of Art, ­Identities and the War in Ukraine. at @smkmuseum Dressed (virtually) as one the traditional danish hot buns that i remember that my family bought, each and every year, on occasion of the national public holiday called "Great Prayer Day", but that no one quite seemed to knew what to with or particularly enjoyed. A small feeling of not quite belonging, or for that matter wanting to belong, to a single national narrative or tradition. The privileged of being able to pass as a native, without ever feeling obliged to feel or act like one. A feeling that is, at least partially, the legacy of my Russian grandmother flight from a Russia whose traditions had been forgotten by the time I was born. An wonderment at local danish customs and a way of remaining unsettled, that I think holds value and is worth holding on to and even nurturing. Tuesday 31 May 2022, (9:00–18:00) at the National Gallery of Denmark #putinsnose #hutbuns #hveder #stayingwiththetrouble #ukraine #blahblahblah (at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd-gOcatyFD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This snapchat filter has been online for about a year, and but today got removed "due to a technical issue that has resulted in us being unable to review your submission." I find it hard to believe that this happened by chance on the on a same day the Russian military crossed into Ukraine, it is the price of using critique adverse surveillance capitalist platforms such as snap chat and thus it beautiful illustrates the "allergic" reactions that surround the many ways in which putins facical features have become a politicized symbol. An artificial face completely shaped by extensive cosmetic surgery is the and used as an image to promote corse national stereotypes and fear of "the other" both the in freer western media and the domestic Russian propaganda. #snapchatcensorship #putinsnose #accordingtothenose #faceofanation #imagepolitics (at Snapchat) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaYC9RaMUi8/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is a glitchy 3d scan of an hour long speech by Russian President Vladimir Putin announcing that he would recognize the independence of the separatist republics of Donetsk and Luhansk in Ukraine’s Donbas region. A one hour long broadcast condensed into a 3 dimensional figure that has very little human semblance. It contains just a faint trace of the presidents actual face, embedded in what might look like a piece of flint, or perhaps a fragment from a ruined palace – A fragment of a ruined empire of the past, its face is no longer recognizable or representative of anything decipherable, but still imbued with a sense of past authority. If nothing else then solely by virtue of the fact that I have just told you this was 3d scan of the Russian president who face is so often said to represent something innately Russian. #putinsnose #ukranie #Donbas #Luhansk #computervision #3dscan (at Kremlin Moscow) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaXG28lNaZF/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is an average of an hour long speech by Russian President Vladimir Putin announcing that he would recognize the independence of the separatist republics of Donetsk and Luhansk in Ukraine’s Donbas region. A one hour long broadcast of facial movements, freed from their staged surroundings and condensed into a single roundfaced, ghostly and somewhat vulnerable-looking image. #putinsnose #ukranie #Donbas #Luhansk #computervision (at Kremlin Moscow) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaW0SdbNfxI/?utm_medium=tumblr

Isn't it nice to know that we are all being watched over in this global health crisis? Show your support of mass surveillance, intelligence gathering and transnational data sharing by purchasing this mask. It sports a decorative and slightly modified logo of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. If you look closely you will notice that the image of a nose has replaced both Saint George in the Coat of arms of Russia, and what appeared to have been a bomb, in the center of the GRU logo. Price 100 DDK / 15 euro including shipping within Europe (and a free sticker or two). message me for payment details #multiple #putinsnose #mask #GRU #russia #surveilance #accordingtothenose #followyournose #nasal.space (at Kremlin, Moskow) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXBmVmzNn-O/?utm_medium=tumblr

The world telegraph widely uses Morse code for Latin letters. There is a variant of the alphabet for Russian letters. The Russian alphabet of 33 letters is represented by 32 different Morse codes (e = e). When compiling the Russian Morse code, the outlines of Russian letters were taken into account. The picture shows the "connection" of the codes with the outline of the letters. #putinsnose #russianmorsecode #research https://www.instagram.com/p/CSKiKc6tImk/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Russian presidents face on the cover of an old edition of Guardian Weekly discussing the future of democracy in Russia. Like many times before in the mainstream media putins face becomes an llustration of an abstract notion of Russian identity and destiny As if to equate the facial features of a single human to that of the multitude of human and nonhuman systems that make up a state. A sort modern hyper physigonomy where the facial features of a head of state is s thought to determins a whole nation's character or personality. #putinsnose #physiognomy (at Copenhagen) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSFF2ENMDHo/?utm_medium=tumblr
