VALERA & NATASHA CHERKASHIN

VERNISSAGE, 30 APRIIL 2009 18:30 TILL 21:00

 

The artists will be present at the vernissage.

The exhibition will include works from 3 series of digital photographs – GLOBAL UNDERGROUND, MONUMENTS (Everybody Deserves a Monument) and EVOLUTION OF CHAOS (Performance of Group A-A-A!?).

    “ The photographic art of the Cherkashins speaks to a new milieu of possibilities. Their camera-based installations include a rich complexity and universal themes. Made from around the world, they create a network that links human sensibility.

Their art engenders many of the unique qualities of today's worldwide transformation. Historical collaboration shed light on the importance of insights found in such rare photographic work.

Such visionaries provide judicious indications about the matrix of change for the new century.”

 

Steve Yates, Curator, Artist, Fulbright Foundation
