Works from the artist’s collection

The exhibition is dedicated to the selectiveness of memory, the coexistence of documents and art practice. The author tries to match private memories with important events in the media, which eventually also become fragments of personal memory, equal in rights with personal history. In other words, private (family) memories are our history.

In the form of an “information stand”, this installation presents primary documents, videos, objects, sculptures that rhyme with art objects, appropriated and recreated. Specially prepared panels display notes and sketches by famous artists, combined with domestic porcelain figurines and print media objects: posters, reports (e.g. on Gagarin’s first flight) and obituaries (for Soviet state leaders) etc.

The exhibitions are included in: VII FESTIVAL OF CONTEMPORARY ART COLLECTIONS http://www.ncca.ru/en/events.text?filial=2&id=1036
