About Alena
art criticism, linguistics and contemporary art

MAKE YOU LOVE IN CONTEMPORARY ART ONCE AND FOREVER

My name is Alena Grigorash and I am an art historian and artist based in Moscow and Milan. My passion is the contemporary art in context of art history and creativity as well as cross cultural communications. I work at the university as a associate professor, make public lectures and online webinars about design, fashion and contemporary art.I have a Russian book about the Darmstadt artists' colony in Germany. I specialize on the idea of Gesamtkunstwerk from the art nouveau experiments to the participatory practices nowadays. As an artist I deal with the connection of body, text and silence.

LECTURES
As an assistant professor I have been working for more than 6 years at the Department of the Artistic Culture History in the Institute of Arts of the Moscow Pedagogical State University (MPGU), at the Department of History and Theory of Culture of RUDN University and at the Weinan Normal University in China, as well as at the Faculty of Design at RANEPA and the Philosophical Faculty of Moscow State University. Under my scientific directing, more than 17 diplomas have been written about the history of art, art pedagogy, art management and cultural studies. Also I am a lecturer at the M. Gorky Moscow Art Theater and a member of the scientific inter-institutional group "European Symbolism and Modern art nouveau" of the The State Institute for Art Studies in Moscow.
