Быт и экзистенция в современном искусстве Центральной Азии

The study that served as the foundation for the article has been carried out by the author for many years, as it is based on practical activities as a curator and researcher of contemporary art in Central Asia. It focuses on analyzing the use of domestic technologies in the contemporary art of Central Asian artists, providing a meaningful conceptual framework for understanding the evolution of artistic practice in this region. The aim of the study is to trace the main trajectories of using everyday household technologies and analyze the determinism of everyday life and existence in the artistic environment. To achieve this goal, the article uses a methodology that includes several stages: long-term observation and collection of materials were carried out, including archival data from various sources related to the artistic life of the region; the received materials were analyzed and compared with similar processes in other regions and countries, which made it possible to identify the features of the development and characteristics of the art of Central Asia; based on the information collected, a synthesis of conclusions was made, including ambiguous aspects associated with the available data; a variety of sources were used to collect information, including participation in the artistic life of the region, visiting exhibitions and events, as well as online resources and social networks. As the results of the study, examples of the creativity of artists Askhat Akhmedyarov (Kazakhstan), Surayo Tuychiyeva (Tajikistan), the Zamanbap Art collective (Kyrgyzstan) and Dilyara Kaipova (Uzbekistan) were given. Their artistic practice using household technologies is considered in the discourse of the decolonial turn and acts as an existential foundation for the search for the identity of independent states with a post-Soviet past in anamneses. The study was conducted both in Central Asia and abroad, including the Getty Research Institute scholarship program. This approach allows for broader coverage of the context and diversity of factors influencing artistic practice, as well as the use of different perspectives and methods of analysis to gain a more complete understanding of the topic.
