It is an artist-run space, founded by several friends and schoolmate in a basement in the centre of Saint Petersburg. These past seven years, the group has migrated across the city, changing its locations and initiating different long-term artistic projects, which have involved participants from the local community. As a collective, North-7 does not have strict borders. It remains open to collaborations and cannot be defined. As such North-7 can be considered a research base / art group / collective / partnership / family of artists.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003ePerformances play a crucial part in the artistic practice of North-7. However, they also experiment with different art forms in varying media. The artists examine themes such as identity and politics, without conforming to existing rules or intellectual trends.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eNorth-7 also works with a concept of \u0026lsquo;locality\u0026rsquo;, not as immersion into local mythology, but as an estrangement from the \u0026lsquo;local state of mind\u0026rsquo; with its provinciality and generality, while using fears and obsessive images, introversion and inner potential to redefine itself. As a form North-7\u0026rsquo;s practices are rooted in absurdist poetry with images that grow from an \u0026lsquo;architecture of words\u0026rsquo;, self-destructing structures of \u0026lsquo;floundering signs\u0026rsquo;.\u0026nbsp; The artists often rely on buffoonery as a concept in their performances and other art forms, much like a \u0026lsquo;bad joke\u0026rsquo; which reflects a situation where social \u0026lsquo;reality\u0026rsquo; (or rather social phantasm) beats any irony, any imagined witticism.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLost \u0026amp; Found North-7 Expedition\u003c/em\u003e is a non-existent museum in the form of a classical ruin, such as a temple or a theatre.
