A publication by Method Fund
Creatingruin. net is a collection of works by artists and researchers who draw their focus on issues of the past, revealing them as cultural memory ruins.
This first edition of the publication aims to kick start a discussion on the ways cultural archives are collected and interpreted. It also reflects on the relationship between creative action and violence, the reconstruction of the past and present and their simultaneous re-construction.
Kyiv-based independent cultural organisation Method Fund functions as an experimental, self-educational project focused on the search for a new site-specific contemporary art institution. It aims to test new forms of self-organisation, self-determination and collaboration, and a responsive mode of art education to support young artists in their specific local context and in response to current political urgencies. Following Lada Nakonechna‘s residency at Reading’s Abbey Ruins, Method Fund responded to this historical site, which was destroyed, purged and looted marking Reading’s warring history.
The publication is designed by designer and researcher Lozana Rossenova incorporating elements created with Webrecorder, a software piloted by Rhizome.
