Born 1980 in Samara, Russia
Vladimir Logutov is one of the best examples of the new and progressive generation of Russian contemporary artists.
“At the core of Vladimir Logutov’s work lies a simple game: transforming reality with the help of reality”, said the curator Antonio Gueusa. Vladimir Logutov is primilarly known for his videowork which he considers as the best medium to interact with the reality. In his videos, he combines film and computer manipulations to highlight the concepts of “accidental” and “spontaneity” in everyday scenes. His work focuses on the analysis of the video as a visual media and uses a meditative process taken from the painting experience. Indeed, Vladimir Logutov is adding to his videowork some abstract paintings and drawings, that he even feel closer, since he was educated as an art teacher and has always drawn or painted since his childhood.
He has been a participant of important projects such as the Moscow biennale of contemporary art (2007 and 2009), "MODUS R" (Art Basel Miami Beach, 2006), “Urban formalism” (Moscow museum of modern art, 2007). He has been short-listed for the Kandinsky Prize in 2008 and has been nominated in many other awards. He is an active participant of shows in Russia and internationally.
In 2005 he was awarded an independent art grant from Stuttgarter kunstverein e. v. in Stuttgart, Germany. Vladimir Logutov is also listed in the “Younger than Jesus” artist directory 2009 of the New-Museum, New-York. His recent solo shows were at Galerie Stanislas Bourgain (Paris, 2008) and Regina Gallery (Moscow, 2009).
