KONSTANTIN GROUSS
TEXTS
Curiosity about life in all its aspects, I think, is still the secret of great creative people.
"Synthesizing eastern and western methods of thinking, I strive to combine powerful expression and inner silence in my works.
Developing in different directions, I keep the starting point, as a place of stillness, where you can always return to go further .... maybe in a different direction"

ART PROJECTS: DYNAMICS, STATICS, PROJECTION
My artistic interest lies in the field of choreography, stage performance, as well as in the integration of the principles of choreography, sculpture, video.
During the last years of my artistic practice, I concentrate on the methods of transmitting information, border zones between different media. This applies to both artistic and curatorial practice, to which I devote equal time and attention.

PHOTOGRAPHY
Working with visual images is a favorite part of the profession. Much of what is caught as inspiration goes into next works. But something remains an instant moment in the photo
РАБОТА С ФОТОГРАФАМИ
В разное время фотографы, интересующиеся танцем, как явлением, либо экспериментирующие со стилем вступали в сотрудничество, превращая процесс в самостоятельное явление, родившее несколько серий фоторабот на основе спектаклей, репетиций, совместных прогулок и прочих взаимодействий.

Founder of International сulture project "Art-Residence" and «ZERO Dance Gallery»
Sphere of interest is in choreography, contemporary theatre, and integration of choreography, sculpture and video. Curatorial practice over the past years is also devoted to the study of transition from one medium into another, searching for common codes of different artistic positions.
I focus on the boundary zones between different media, searching for different types of information in both artistic and curatorial practice, which I devote equal time and attention.
Graduated from Dance and Art school and the Technical University. Studied at the "Class of expressive dance" by Gennady Abramov, Moscow. Fellow of danceWeb program, 2004, Vienna. Grant for ICR /International Choreographers In Residence/ program of ADF /American Dance Festival/, USA, 2007. Grant for SPACE Programme in contemporary art (Dublin, Ireland), 2008. Grant for Residency at OMI International Dance Collective, NY, USA, 2011. Worked with different choreographers and theatre directors: Shusaku Takeuchi (Netherlands), Yury Urnov, Valery Fokin, Tatyana Grindenko, Kirill Serebryannikov (Russia), Theodor Tezhik (Russia-Czech), Efva Lilja (Sweden), Maida Withers (USA).
Since 2009 start active work in contemporary art and became an idea creator and curator of several contemporary art festivals and exhibitions. For several years run contemporary art centre in Moscow.
"In my artistic work I try to find different paths of collaboration with dancers, musicians, artists during the time of producing a common idea and material for a new work.
I understand the creative team as sum of individuals, but strongly related to some common energy. To find this important connection everybody has to be open and very attentive at the same time. If it became possible, every moment of common experience opens new unexpected ways of living and creation.
For me it is important to be able to work in a relaxed atmosphere leading to concentration and inspiration provided by the place of work. In my opinion, the image that can be applied to artists who move from one place to another is a bee collecting pollen and nectar of information and carrying it to another place, both pollinating new processes and transforming the nectar in honey of the new art"
