Peyto Pattern 2019 video collage MrGena68 2019-11-09 | Transitions project. An inter-disciplinary collaboration, an art-science project Climate Change in Canada. Professors John Pomeroy and Trevor Davies, Artist-in-residence USASK.CA Gennadiy Ivanov. Global Water Futures, Global Institute for Water Security, University of Saskatchewan, Canada. 'I also returned to the Peyto Glacier in August 2019– its shrinking form much more evident without snow-cover. GWF scientists use drones to photograph and sense the receding glacier (to coincide with drone film). A brilliant sunny day on the glacier meant that my field paintings were amongst the most colourful I have produced of a glacier. Despite the bright colours, the bare moraines and sediment left by the retreating glacier gave me a sense of destruction, darkness and decay borne in rapid deglaciation due to human-caused climate change. In this painting is an example of the strange formations of cryoconite below the glacier snout, washed off the glacier by meltwater and accumulating in mini-mountain ranges about 2m high. This field painting looking down the valley from the current glacier snout gives an impression of the former scale of the glacier. At the base of the glacier were melt caverns, about 2m high, here captured in a field painting. Here I represent the criss-cross pattern of crevasses and melt channels on the glacier in an impressionistic way. 50 secsThis large oil painting is called Collapse. Looking down from a position on Peyto’s lateral moraine, two meltwater caverns – with roofs about 2m above the water, and collapsing as we watched – testify to the extent and rapidity of melting of the glacier. The floating ice indicated that there was flow from the right-hand cavern into the left-hand cavern. The water is probably part of the expanding sub-glacial lake, beneath the lower portion of the glacier, which extends beyond the glacier snout.' Gennadiy Ivanov

Bluebells woods. Time for the Blue Bells. Hunting for a beauty. MrGena68 2022-04-29 | Bluebells plein air today.24.04.2022, oil on canvas painting. 50x40 cm. (First plein air painting).'Bluebells woods by the Blickling Hall, Blickling estate, Norfolk. Oil on canvas. Still lovely memories from the last Sunday plein air in the woods. Wanted to paint a larger canvas. 60x85 cm.' (Second painting).Blickling's Great Wood with an acres of stunning bluebells with swathes of wild garlic. The perfect place for a pic nic and to drink in the English spring.I have decided to paint this woods , surrounded by amazing gentle fragrances of the bluebells. 'The English bluebell is an icon of Britain’s woodlands in spring, so it’s no wonder that this wild beauty has become a yearly highlight at Blickling Estate…Rolling out the blue carpetAt Blickling Estate, we carefully manage our woodland through coppicing and clearance of brambles during the winter months to make sure as much light as possible reaches the understory. This makes the crescendo of blue even more spectacular towards the end of April through to May.Ancient woodlandBecause bluebells spread very slowly they're considered to be an indicator of ancient woodland sites. Even if the trees aren't very old, or if there are no trees to be seen at all, the fact there are bluebells around can indicate that there has been a wood for some time in the past.Blickling's Great Wood has existed for many centuries and it's possible that the woodland site has exisited since the first trees started to grow after the Ice Age. Although there is a large area of bluebells in the Great Wood, there are areas without any bluebells. This is mostly because wild deer graze on nectar-rich plants, so keeping this complex ecosystem in balance is an important part of the estate's daily conservation work.A threatened speciesThe English bluebell is threatened on a global scale, due to habitat destruction and competition from the Spanish bluebell. However, despite being under threat, the bluebell is a member of the lily family and has a clever way of surviving under the dense shade of woodland.Their green leaves emerge early in the year, well before the leaves on the surrounding trees begin to cast shade. This allows the bluebell to do most of its growing with plenty of light and effectively replenish the nutrients stored in its bulb. Beautiful blue flowers emerge at end of their cycle, before the leaves die away again until the following year. Spot the differenceA true English bluebell has violet-blue bells on one side of the stem only and is sweet scented, unlike its Spanish counterpart which is not scented and takes a more upright form. Understanding the difference between them has allowed us to help conserve our rarer native English bluebell.' National Trust

Climate change causes increasing forest fire, thawing permafrost, melting glaciers, declining snow and ice cover, and more severe droughts and floods that are damaging the natural capital of the vast circumpolar and high mountain ecosystems and river basins that support our freshwater and oceans and therefore our lives, communities, wildlife, environment, and economies. A rescue will require the immediate mobilization of novel climate, human and water solutions for a great common endeavour, on a scale vastly exceeding that for any previous great cause in human history. Cold Regions Warming can help inspire this; based on Global Water Futures’ science and portraying the devastating impact of climate warming at research sites around the world, the art comprises pastels painted in the field, photographs, sound, music, videos and large oils of how climate change and water impacts are measured, and what these impacts are on the cryosphere. Coupled with the art-science presentations, it is suffused with the ambition that we can still ameliorate the very worst which, otherwise, is coming. the session will contribute to UNESCO’S 9TH Phase of IHP (2022-2029) “Science for a Water Secure World in a Changing Environment?Organized by Global Water Futures/University of Saskatchewan and UNESCO.Speakers: UNESCO Assistant Director General Dr. Shamila Nair-Bedouelle, Professor Trevor Davies, University of East Anglia, Artist Gennadiy Ivanov, Artist-in-Residence at Global Water Futures, Professor John Pomeroy, Director of Global Water Futures, University of Saskatchewan Agenda:Opening Comments ICCI Representative 3 minUNESCO Representative 4 minCreative Connections for Climate and the CryosphereProf Trevor Davies 4 minsMaking My Art Matter Gennadiy Ivanov - 4 minsThe Message Behind the Art – Science Imperatives for the Cryosphere and Water SecurityProf John Pomeroy - 15 mins

Transitions project 2019-2020 MrGena68 2019-01-18 | Transitions A Project by Gennadiy Ivanovin inter-disciplinary collaboration with Professors Trevor Davies and John PomeroyConcise DescriptionDespite the exhortations of climate scientists over decades, action on climate change has been delayed too long. In the words of David Attenborough, “the collapse of our civilisations and the extinction of much of our natural world are on the horizon”. That prospect, scientists say, will be unstoppable if major actions, not before attempted, and are not taken over the next few years. Whether they are, or not, will determine to what extent the Earth remains inhabitable. The proposed project aims to represent that challenge, stimulating awareness amongst new audiences, via a range of techniques, styles, performance and media. The artist will have unprecedented access to the work of climate scientists, initially in Canada and the UK, and the project will be shown and performed at a number of venues including in the UK and Canada. The linkages between, and dislocations in, those natural systems and societies most at risk will be articulated and shown to the artist by practicing climate scientists – a fusion of science and art. Because of the unprecedented access to a global network of climate scientists, there is a realizable prospect of the project growing and evolving for exhibitions/performances around the world.

Здесь я чувствую себя свободным, наполненным жизнью и идеями. Я называю ее ‘The House of dreams’. В ней было написано сотни картин для моих четырех больших проектов.Сейчас я начинаю новый проект. Он называется ‘Transitions’-перевоплощение : ‘Ice-water-cloud’. Проект готовится и проводится в со-интеграции с профессорами климатологами Trevor Davies and John Pomeroy. Проэкт –это прекрестие науки и искусства. Это будет нечто новое и настоящее. Проект будет основан на достоверных фактах, документах, видео и фотографиях об изменении климата. Это проект о нашем будущем , о переживании за наши следующие поколения. Проект-призыв. Проект о жизни полярных животных таких, как иконы северного полюса-полярных медведях. Из-за таяния льдов полярные медведи находятся на грани исчезновения. Таяние снега и льда угрожает нашим городам и странам.Мои две экспедиции в этом новом 2019 году в Канаду, будут проходить под знаком изучения климата с учеными климатологами, а так же наблюдением за полярными медведями. У меня очень большие планы-документировать работу ученых, фотографировать, рисовать, делать видео. После этих экспедиций я буду работать над проектами выставок по всему миру.Пожалуйста, поддержите меня в моем проекте! Сделайте благотворительный взнос! С вашей помощью мы сможем рассказать миру и людям больше и доступно посредством визуального искусства о проблемах изменения климата. Прошу вас, сделайте взнос!Сделаем мир лучше, светлее и чище вместе!С Новым счастливым вас годом!Всем хорошего настроения и дня. Спасибо.

The forest asylum exhibition project Undercroft Gallery Norwich MrGena68 2018-06-14 | Project Outline‘ I have made it a priority of this government to tackle the injustice of mental illness’. Prime Minister Theresa May (Norfolk, Oct 26th ,2017) ‘BEDLAM: TRIANGLE’ uses art to transform public opinion and to inspire creative action towards MENTAL HEALTH problems. The art works will be provocative, and use the power of a dynamic pattern of emotions, behavior and energy. The art works about everyday and how we are more and more involved in efforts to exist in this technological era. There is a constant flow of energy that is ever shifting, creating a pattern in our mental health: this is urban, environmental, social, spiritual, psychological and medical. It’s a human pattern, a technological pattern and a pattern in nature. Often people collide in these patterns, dissolving, melting like a snow flakes, disappearing in a crowded street, diluted within sounds and noises: music, cars, clubs and bars; as through reflected in prisms and distorted in mirrors in skyscrapers, windows; demoralized by cigarettes, narcotics, alcohol, becoming depressed and miserable. To get through, we are coexisting and collaborate in these surroundings. Who and what can help us in this triangle, we ask ourselves? What is deemed ‘sanity’ or ‘insanity’? Where and how do we live within it? We need the answers during this project. These projects will include hands-on art making, performing painting, outreach and/or public installation and projects relevant to the educational art therapy curriculum.Lesha model

Professor Lynda Morris lecture 2017 09 18 Art of revolution project MrGena68 2017-09-20 | Frederick Antal, the great Hungarian Art Historian wrote in 1949 in the august Burlington Magazine: The problem with Britain is that it only had one revolution and that was in the 1640s.Lynda Morris will argue that Britain used the wealth of Empire as a means to avoid further revolutions but that has left us with profound problems, the biggest of which is DUPLICITY.The colonial classes continue to dominate Britain, even when their experience of empire is three or more generations ago: Inherited wealth, Public Boarding Schools, Oxford and Cambridge, the Civil Service, the administration of the Public Sector and Politics continue to dominate every aspect of our lives. I have been writing and talking about the idea of POST-LONDON and the profound damage being caused by the economic division between London and the rest of the Country in every facet of life, culture and art.As a working class woman of 70, duplicity angers me profoundly. At its root is the separation of the sexes caused by Empire. Up until 1918, women and children mostly stayed at home while the men were on 18 month tours of duty around the world. POSH means Portside Out Starboard Home Figures now appearing claim that through the use of famine, rather than wars, between 1890 and 1914, 30 million died in India and 20 million in China.

Crowd-fund Art Of Revolution exhibition, The Undercroft gallery, Norwich, 2017 MrGena68 2017-05-18 | Hello.I’m the artist Gennady Ivanov and I was born in the USSR. This year I'm organising the third thematic exhibition "The Art of Revolution", which is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Russian Bolshevik October Revolution. The exhibition explores the significance and cultural heritage that the Russian revolution gave to the world of art, music, dance, theater, fashion, design, cinema and also examines other recent revolutions such as in politics, technology and industry, female emancipation and human rights.Past exhibitions "War and Peace” and "Asylum” each brought in about 2500 visitors from Norfolk and from the other parts of the country, giving us many excellent reviews This year I have invited more than 30 local and international artists. Artists will take the theme, interpret it individually and work on it.Together we will make a bright, unforgettable, open, controversial exhibition with more than 150 new artworks in a variety of techniques including: painting, photography, video, installation, sculpture, poetry, theater, music, dance. We will also be offering free drawing classes, lectures, concerts and music and dance performances. The exhibition will spread across Norwich forming an art trail and Norfolk We have raised some money including grants form the East Anglian Art Fund and Norfolk County Council. We are now asking if you would like to be involved in this exciting project by making a contribution through crowd funding. I will now hand you over to some of the other artists to talk about the project.Thank you for taking the time to watch this video. Any contribution you can make will be gratefully received and will allow us to make the exhibition even more exciting! more moving! more reflective! Power to the people! Power to Art!

Asylum Integration The Undercroft Gallery, Norwich 2016 MrGena68 2016-03-01 | I am the artist Gennadiy Ivanov and I was born in the USSR. I came to Norwich from Belarus about 10 years ago and I graduated with a masters in Fine Art from Norwich Arts University. I am Gennadiy and I am an immigrant.Asylum is the second major exhibition in Norwich that I have organized and curated. The exhibition involves 20 artists exhibiting in the Undercroft gallery this summer.‘Asylum’ is about migrant artists working together with British artists.Together we will get a better understanding of asylum, migration and integration and the feelings of the migrants and theirs hosts. We will examine the generosity and sharing, giving and accepting. We will tell our stories and share them with you.“Asylum” will combine a variety of styles, directions and media. The visitor will be able to see a synthesis of painting, sculpture, installation, photography, video, and graphics with the addition of light and sound. Asylum will be set out as a ‘labyrinth’ with shelter (asylum) rooms. It will be a synesthesia, playing with perception, mixing signals from different senses all heightening the experience of the individual artworks.Asylum is about you and me, about being human, about usLast years exhibition was very successful. The war and peace theme was powerful and moved a large number of the almost 3000 people who visited. This year we want to be even better. The basic exhibition costs about £1500 to put on with artists contributing their time invigilating and money and time promoting it.Any additional contribution will be a big bonus to us. Raising more than £1500 will allow us to share Asylum with more people in the community, running workshops and involving local school children, other artists and asylum seekers.Thank you for taking the time to watch this and I look forward to seeing you at Asylum in August 2016.
