Dialects 4: Home-Made

About

The young Russian female artists invite you for a centenary celebration of the International Women's Day! Works by: Ariadne Arendt Svetlana Bobrakova Eugenia Emets Anna Gartsunova Elena Gavrisch Anna Jouli Maria Kapajeva Yelena Popova Miss Rita Zam Kira Zhigalina For the fourth time Pushkin House is pleased to host Dialects, a project that began in 2008, as a platform for emerging artists from a Russian background to showcase their work in London. This year Dialects Four celebrates the centenary of the International Women's Day by showing the work of ten young female artists. In HOME-MADE the artists consider the HOME both as a physical space and as a psychological construct. It is a space of one's own, whether imaginary or real, where one can dwell within and find an internal balance and feeling of completeness. In this metaphysical space reality and fantasy blur, personal myths are told and in the vein of an old fairytale objects become animated and play in a ‘home-made' drama. Through paintings, photographs, installation and performance the exhibition thus showcases works that explore female subjectivity, where identity is subject to modification and ritualistic renewal so characteristic to nature and life itself.
