Narrative and Distant Gaze in Post-Soviet Art

The exhibition continues the dialogue with contemporary art from the former Soviet Union, which began with the Faster than History exhibition in 2004. This time, the perspective will be extended to encompass Central Asian countries. The formation of a new national identity in the region is informed by a rich cultural tradition, steeped in the nomadic lifestyle, shamanism, as well as in Islam. The Soviet heritage and new Western influences are also prominent.

The exhibition will display mostly installations, photographs and videos from approximately a dozen artists. Their works make a conscious break from exotic oriental stereotypes, on the one hand, or, on the other, deal with topical political or social themes.
