In 2002, Gluklya and Tsaplya wrote the manifesto: \u201cThe place of the artist is on the side of the weak.\u201d This manifesto shows an important transformation of the artists\u2019 understanding of the \u0441hanging social and political context in Putin\u2019s Russia. FFC worked together for more than 10 years and in 2012 Gluklya took over the leadership of the group which was transformed to the new project Utopian Unemployment Union.<\/p>\n<p>Gluklya is also a co-founder of the <a href=\"https:\/\/chtodelat.org\/\">Chto Delat<\/a> and an active member since 2003.<\/p>\n<p>In her projects, Gluklya continues to use conceptual clothes as a tool to build a connection between art and everyday life.\u00a0 Addressing the personal stories of her characters, she analyzes and makes visible the conflict between a person\u2019s inner world and the political system (as in the performance Debates of Division 2014, part of the Manifesta -10 Public program: When The Private Becomes Public\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>The artist\u2019s method of using \u201cclothes\u201d in her participatory project Museum of Moving Clothes 2012 -2015 is comparable with the idea of using the subject of \u201cmeals\u201d as a tool for developing new methods of collaboration with communities outside the art world. For example in the Bijlmer project implemented jointly with an educational center, where a dialogue was established with local people.<\/p>\n<p>In her project \u201cUnemployment Utopian Union,\u201d (2012-2016) Gluklya\u00a0 constructs situations that allow encounters to take place among people from different social groups &#8211;\u00a0 illegal migrants and ballet dancers, pensioners and students, unemployed young men and women, who would not have the opportunity to meet in everyday life.\u00a0 This method encourages processes of self-organization,giving all the participants equal status\u00a0 and allows us to learn about the capacity of different minorities and marginal communities for coping with difficult life situations with the help of art.<\/p>\n<p>At the moment Gluklya is working on developing the concept of\u00a0 \u00abCarnival of the Opressed Feelings \u00a0\u00bb developing the idea of sharing\u00a0 her method of creation \u0421onceptual \u0421lothes with participants . Project supported by Mondrian Fund and last holl year until January 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Gluklya\u2019s work has been exhibited in Russia and abroad, including at the 56th Venice Biennale of Art, \u201cAll the World&#8217;s Futures,\u201d (2015); Critical Mass festival &amp; Akinci gallery Garden of Vigilant Clothes, 2015, Creative Time Summit Washington DC ,Debates on Division 2017, Ar st talk during MoMA\u2019s C-MAP (Central and Eastern European Research) mee ng, October 11, 2016 , New York, USA.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014 Gluklya was the recipient of a visual arts fellowship awarded by The Joseph Brodsky Memorial Fund. The fellowship allowed her to spend 3 months in Venice and Rome.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-6521\"
