Maxim Evstropov is an artist, curator, and philosopher. He calls his art-practices “experimental political art” that exists somewhere between performative actions, implied grotesque narratives, Russian Dada-oriented absurdism, and grassroots politics. He is the founder of the art-political movement, the Party of the Dead (since 2017) focusing on necro-activism. He was born in 1979 in Novokuznetsk, Siberia, and now lives and works in Saint Petersburg.
The entangled artistic and activist contexts of these drawings reveal the complex political regime under which artists are working in Russia today.
