Mitry

Mitry Grankov, an artist, musician and graphic designer. Graduated from Moscow Region State University (PhD in historical sciences) and School of Contemporary Art "Free Workshops" at MMOMA (Moscow). Laureate of the Sergey Kuryokhin Prize (2021).

Since 2009, I’ve been engaged in performances that combine improvisation / experimental music, theater and contemporary art. Now my creative pursuits encompass collages, objects, sound art and video art. Both visual and semantic are important in my art practice.

I am interested in working with local (national) context, with language, historical and cultural heritage, recognizable traditional themes and materials, as well as rethinking the traditional in the context of modernity. I strive to find paradoxical points of interaction between the old and new, history and future, classic and experimental, digital and analogue. In my artistic practice, it’s very important and valuable for me to work by hands, feeling the material, volume, weight.
