Keeping tabs on this collective is a time-consuming but rewarding commitment, with an energetic and productive working-thinking ethos, the RFF supplement prolific exhibition-making with sharp, succinct and wity blogging.
The Russian Frost Farmers offer some insight in to their world of action: "We offer a selective portal to all relevant artistic ideas, themes
and issues from around the globe. Our goal is to keep on the pulse of
contemporary themes in all aspects of art through research, selective
analysis and online gleaning." For the last six months that I've been following these folks I've not been disappointed.
The blog content itself is succinct, marvelously obscure, and frequently updated. Among the diverse links to projects and collectives around the world, the posts are also bursting with exhibition updates, either of their own work, their mates' work, or their mates-mates' etc. etc. The seven-strong team seem to be keeping a frantic pace of activity between them, with decked-out, temporal, ad-hoc exhibitions popping up from Wellington to Beirut.
