Chto Delat's Theatrical Documentary The Excluded: In a Moment of Danger at São Paulo Bienal

In November 2014's ArtReview, Maria Lind examines Chto Delat's video piece, The Excluded: In a Moment of Danger, showcased at the São Paulo Bienal. This hour-long film, structured into 12 chapters, features graduates from the School of Engaged Art, showcasing barefoot participants in choreographed formations. It reflects on recent events in Russia, such as the annexation of Crimea and the Boeing disaster in Ukraine, through personal narratives. Participants highlight societal rifts, referencing significant historical moments like the Pussy Riot trial and the 1999 NATO bombing of Belgrade. Lind also discusses the installation's location in Oscar Niemeyer's Bienal building and draws parallels with 9 Scripts from a Nation at War (2007). She expresses hope that The Excluded will be included in a major collection.
