If you follow this blog, you read about them a few times already.
Slavs and Tatars is a dual collective of artists, writers and thinkers dedicated to an era designated as Eurasia, going, to quote them, "from the former Berlin Wall to the Great Wall of China" and inviting esthetically and theoretically to challenge cultural boundaries within and around this area.
In 2013, the collective will be more than ever present in Paris, lucky us, and was firstly at Centre Pompidou's brillant Nouveau Festival, with some of their wonderful pieces and books, which toured the world from Brno, Czech Republic, to the MoMA, New York, such as a giant black and white carpet representing the throat-needed pronounciation of the "KH" phoneme of languages such as Russian and Arabic, and a reading bench, among others.
On March 7, glorious date if there is any, they were in Beaubourg again for a special reading organised for the Book Machine event.
Here is the video of the conference.
It is in French and it's a first, as far as my information are accurate.

Do watch this amazing speech, which takes us from the Menil Foundation in Houston Texas to Moscow with the poet Velimir Khlebnikov, going through New York's midtown Sufi Mosque and the Azeri magazine printed between Tbilisi and Baku, in the 1910-20s, Molla Nasreddin.
Slavs and Tatars' work will be on display again in Paris soon: at L'Ecole des Beaux Arts from April.
I will, of course, keep you posted about it.
Enjoy.
