Maxim Poleacov

visiting artist-in-residence, Oct-Nov 2023

Maxim is a cultural worker in KOLXOZ collective, Visual Anthropology of Moldova and Oberliht Association. His current research focuses on methodologies for ‘samizdat’ (self–publishing), considering this practice primarily not in terms of object production, but as a platform to build and develop conversations, social situations, and communication spaces. Examples include grassroots publishing houses and distribution centers, open studios and temporary services such as pop-up cafe or libraries.

Maxim’s residency is supported by CEC ArtsLink.

CEC ArtsLink supports transnational cultural mobility and collaboration, empowering artists and arts leaders to engage communities in dialogue and creative projects for a more equitable, compassionate and sustainable world. For more information, please visit www.cecartslink.org.
