Gros plan : Jurijus Kadamovas


5 juillet 2012

Jurijus Kadamovas est lituanien et recherche des correspondants anglophones. il est incarcéré dans le couloir de la mort fédéral de Terre Haute en Indiana. Voici l'annonce qu'il nous adressée:

I am imprisoned on federal death row in Terre Haute, Indiana. I am an artist.

I am a Russian Lithuanian citizen. I am the only prisoner from a European nation on U.S. Federal death row. I have no family or friends here in the United-States.I am housed in what basically amounts to a solitary confinement cell, with a frosted-over window, that I consider the cradle of creativity when it comes to my art.

My art is the meaning of life and a means through which I can tell people about injustice and death. Through my art, I hope people will come to have insight in to the feelings of a person who is facing execution. I would like to propose through artistic collaboration with you to share those feelings. I believe it is truly a unique circumstance to work on the same canvas as the only Russian artist sentenced to death in the United States. I would like to think of this time on death row as a social experiment along the lines "can art save life?"; if so, I believe, this must be it.

It is also my hope that through your help, not only can I find artists with whom to collaborate but I can also find someone who is willing to advise/aid in exposing and promoting my art. As well, I need someone who can organize and direct my collaboration with other artists and exhibits worldwide.

For more information about me and samples of my initial artword, check out www.yurikadamov.com, particularly the link: www.yurikadamov.com/russian-avant-garde which is an introduction to my ideas about art and collaboration.

I would like for you to help by any way that you can. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely

Yuri Kadamov
