Exhibited Work: URL Stone (Installation)
Duration: 2018
Event Type: Group Exhibition
Curator: Olesya Turkina
Organizer: Sergey Kuryokhin Centre for Contemporary Art
Venue: Sergey Kuryokhin Centre for Contemporary Art, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The exhibition Prototype #4 — the fourth conceptual presentation from the collection of the future Museum of Contemporary Art — showcased works by leading contemporary Russian artists, encompassing a broad range of media from painting and sculpture to video and installation art. Curated by Olesya Turkina, the exhibition explored the evolving language of artistic experimentation in the post-digital era, positioning the museum as both an archival and speculative space for contemporary creation.
Egor Kraft’s URL Stone installation was exhibited as part of this curatorial framework, reflecting on the convergence of material and virtual realities. The work embodies the paradox of digital permanence and archaeological continuity — a physical object inscribed with a URL, functioning simultaneously as artifact and hyperlink. By merging the ancient logic of inscription with the immaterial infrastructure of the internet, URL Stone questions how cultural memory and information are stored, transmitted, and preserved in the networked age.
