About the book: 2019 / "Thoughts" complete the five-volume collection of works by D. A. Prigov (1940–2007), which included "Monads", "Moscow", "Monsters" and "Places". This volume consists of manifestos, articles and interviews in which Prigov develops his concept of modern culture and the resulting understanding of the role and tasks facing the modern artist. Reflections on the typology of various art movements and the anthropological revolution taking place before our eyes meet here with articles and speeches by Prigov about colleagues and friends, as well as with his comments on his own works. The book also includes descriptions of unfinished projects and Prigov's diary notes. Although the author poses serious theoretical questions and gives original answers to them, he remains an artist, often enacting a performance of scientific discourse and partly parodying it. Many of the texts included here are published for the first time. The volume also contains a consolidated index of the works included in the collection. Some texts are reproduced preserving the author's spelling and punctuation.
