Proposals
2012-2014
First produced as Tumblr content, Proposals became an anchor wording for the digital imagery that later found its way to institutional scenography as curtain installations, prints and video work.
"The way Bogush uses digital manipulation is earnest and up-front; he isn't sneaky about the way he's altering the images... Two documents exist: what came out of the camera and the trail of the artist's hand."
"It's the process of making things more generic, without history. Maybe even un-decisive."
From Andrey Bogush: A Loving Destruction, interview by Matthew Leifheit, Foam Magazine, Issue 39
"Using the word 'proposal' in naming the works, Bogush makes them linger somewhere between fact and fiction. They are put forward for others to consider, suggesting this is something that could be. It is as if the works leave room for the viewer to make the decision of realizing them on a conceptual level, of validating their existence, as a proposal is something not yet executed, something that leaves space for further action.
Naming the work is an important stage for Bogush, after which the image is done, and there is no going back to make any adjustments. Before this, everything is open, so that the naming becomes the act and the decision that makes the work finished."
