Ola Vasiljeva. Gold is The Metal With the Broadest Shoulders

About

“Gold is The Metal With the Broadest Shoulders” addresses the idea of community and its relation to the mythological thinking. The idea of the community, half of which lives in the imagination; that what is or what defies a society is not always human. A community which involves tricksters, dead heroes, homeless lunatics, inherited spells, children’s phantasies and lies, erotic alchemy, golden beards, film characters, mirrors, words.

In other words a community which embraces the otherwordliness as opposed to the rigid committees or finger pointing categories.

“Gold is The Metal With the Broadest Shoulders”  is a set of paraphernalia belonging to these characters. The installation brings different kind of elements, half domestic-half imaginary objects, questionable materials, theatrical debris. These efforts result in a variety of drawings and sculptures made out of glass,  metal,  textiles, rubber, ceramics, wood and other found or modified objects.
