Titled “Unlocked Identities”, the project is a sum of personal, social, and historical experiences being explored and reflected through art on a global scale.
Curated by Julia Sysalova, an art curator from Athens, Greece, the exhibition concerns the ways that identities change when influenced by cultural, scientific, and social settings.
Through the complex labyrinths of their (sub)consciousness, 21 emerging immigrant artists from the former USSR, living in different countries (USA, Spain, Cyprus, Kazakhstan, Greece, Italy, Finland, Austria, Armenia, Great Britain, Kyrgyzstan, Singapore), explore the surrounding reality, revisiting how new cultural and social codes influence their realities and artistic practice.
In search of a complex balance between internal and external contradictions, the artists talk about the ones they know best - themselves - creating a dialogue with each other and with the public through painting, art photography, sculpture, and installations.
The group’s ambition is to present a broad perspective on identity without imposing what is right or wrong. The exhibition invites us to consider and reflect, to participate and respond.
