The installation consists of two graphic panels with fragments of the copyright archive of Sergey Shabohin. Among the images are sketches of unrealized works, accumulated images for future projects, personal photographs, practices and details of the process, references to other statements, etc. The slogan Greenhouse Сonditions on the polyethylene and plants placed in the installation are sent directly to the greenhouse – the image of specially created conditions for protecting development processes from aggressive external threats.
This self-reflecting installation raises questions about the working conditions of the artist, who throughout his career does not have his own studio, and most work processes are carried out on a computer. Updating graphic programs, searching for fonts, structuring archives, creating databases, filling in calendars and to do tables, protecting files, maintaining printers are elements of the artist's everyday work. The use of A4 format here emphasizes this standardized position of the modern universal creative unit.
Since 2009, the artist fundamentally as a protest to the then trends, turned to anti-aesthetics: the use of photocopying, the rejection of high-quality performance, the use of cheap materials and simple forms. This installation can be considered as a symbolic final archive of a ten-year period of developments and attempts to overcome production conditions; as arguments about the fruitfulness of hyperesthetics as opposed to a crisis of pictoriality; as a way to deal with the simultaneous lightness and heaviness of endlessly growing digital archives.
The continuation of the project was the creation of an art book publication from fragments of this installation. Art book is in the private collection of Alexei Lunev.
Within the framework of the conference, inside the installation, an additional dj-set of Sergey Shabohin was held under the pseudonym Gray Mand()rla.

The series tells about the death of museum. There are too few places in Minsk where at least sometimes contemporary art is presented. The author counted only four in the period of the series creation (May 2009). The artist, using photomontage, set fire to the Academy of Arts, destroyed the Palace of Arts, closed the gallery Underground and the Museum of Modern Art. The series turned out too small due to lack of exhibition places in the city. The artist wanted to draw attention to this problem. It is interesting to note that after the establishment of the series the art gallery Underground was really closed, and in the Palace of Arts the ceiling was demolished (for repairs).

The project consists of three showcases. Each showcase is divided into one hundred cells. Each cell is assigned the number-year. The first “table”, representing the XX century, is divided intoВ years: from 1901 to 2000, the second – XXI century – from 2001 to 2100, the third – XXII – from 2101 to 2200. In each cell the author placed the pieces of works created by the artists who died in that particular year. For example, Marcel Duchamp died in 1968. He is presented by a piece of porcelain urinal. The piece of blue monochrome canvases by Yves Klein (1962), a cut off rabbit foot, a piece of felt hat and wax by Boys (1986), etc. Thus, the author filled all the cells up to the year of 2012. From 2012 till 2100 the cells are empty. Consequently, the first showcase is full, the second is filled partially and the last is empty. The work demonstrates that nothing is left, the artists are dead, their works are cut into pieces, there is blank emptiness ahead, which inspires, while frightening. These tables contain allusion to the archaeological exhibits and the Christian shrines with the relics of the saints (hence the name Reliquary). Of importance is the subjective choice of authors, which is influenced by Western arts schools, including those in Belarus.

For group exhibition The Crowd Philosophy. Belarusian Neo-Pop Art, Ў Gallery, Minsk, Belarus
The installation “Grey cabinet. Pop art in the USSR” is intended to illustrate the cultural situation in the USSR in the 60s, when there was no opportunity to interact with the Western art. Pop art, arose as a reflection of the consumption society, was a stranger in Soviet art. And could it appear in the USSR with its identical gray everyday life? All that was known about pop art in the Soviet Union was presented in a scrappy newspaper articles. Through the iron curtain such inventions of the Western bourgeoisie were seen as confirmation of the moral decadence of capitalism, but at the same time, well-fed West seemed to Soviet citizens unattainable paradise and dream of the sweet life.
