23th June-6th July

Darja Abdirova and NikaKupyrova

“Russkii Ballad”

In this exhibition, Nika Kupyrova and Darja Abdirova will show work that concerns itself with the concept of Russia as a state: the importance of a patriotic and militant outlook, the conquest of space showing technological superiority, the red flag as a symbol for absolute loyalty.

As part of this evening, the short film “Absternakr” will be screened. The film is based on 4 short stories by Daniiel Kharms, a Russian Dadaist writer that was prohibited under Stalin.

Closing Party 21/06/2008, 7pm

This exhibition of new ‘moment photography’ explores projections and other strange connections we make to the land, plants and animals; maintaining that our life is an entirely cultural experience and geography defines our relations to each other.
