Project 39
Path-pathway - Anna Andrzhievskaia
Curated by Tsering Frykman-Glen
June 7th - July 19th, opening on Friday June 7th from 19h
In this project, Anna seamlessly integrates her ongoing exploration of identity and belonging with a poignant reflection on the universal experience of migration. Building upon her previous work, which often delves into themes of displacement and cultural adaptation, the exhibition space transformed into a multifaceted playground.
Here, the familiar motifs of her practice intertwine with the narrative of the migrant's journey, offering viewers a nuanced understanding of the complexities inherent in the quest for home and belonging.
Anna visual language paints a post-apocalyptic fantasy-hallucinogenic world where the impossible is possible, and the incongruous are harmoniously compatible. Wandering between worlds and genres, the artist works with painting, graphics, objects, installations, happenings and performances in both real and virtual space. Her favorite characters often move from one work to another, turning Anna's exhibition projects into an endless series, the episodes of which can be watched in any order.
