EMPTY ACTION - MARINA GERBER KARTONIERT (TB)

Collective Actions is one of the most significant artistic practices to emerge from Moscow
Conceptualism. The group's enigmatic idea of 'Empty action' is the focal point for Marina
Gerber's exploration of this practice in relation to labour in the late Soviet Union. Based on
interviews with members of the group (Monastyrski  Panitkov  Alexeev  Makarevich  Elagina 
Romashko  Hänsgen and Kiesewalter) she exposes the relation between their jobs  their
individual art practices and their contribution to the collective in the context of
post-Stalinist debates on labour and free time. Departing from the mundane fact that Collective
Actions' practice took place in free time from work for the Soviet State  Gerber identifies
Empty action as a form of 'art after work'.
