Alexander Ostrogorsky
Flesh of the flesh of Moscow, a city that neither sleeps, nor keep itself awaken through the last decade of oil-based prosperity. After getting his degree in history of art, with 20th century architecture as a major subject, and the Constructivist magazine "Contemporary Architecture" as the subject for his final thesis, Alexander plunged himself into the world of big money and worked as reporter for leading Russian business papers. An exhausting vanity of the rising economy made Alexander to turn his talents to music – for the last three years he is one of the resident DJs at Moscow art-cafe Apshu, and this summer Alexander became a member of the Russian INTERNI team. Now his primary research direction is towards possibility to develop responsible architectural and urban development practices in the city, where most of the citizens do not care much about these issues and most of the officials and media do not rush to enlighten the citizens. Seeing himself as a mediator between Moscow bourgeois and bohème, Alexander will carefully record his way through urban landscapes, design and architectural events, introducing to the audience the most open-minded and cutting edge creative workers on the background of the legacy of the past.
