Launch of the catalogue: April 29, 2016
Chapter I A DECONSTRUCTED ALLEGORY
MARCH 11 - APRIL 6, 2016
Anna Khodorkovskaya proposes details as the main theme of her
artistic endeavor, thus her artworks can be read as an analysis of the
manner in which different aesthetic elements combine and relate to
each other, from diverse backgrounds, of different shapes and
structures, abstract compositions which connect a particular artistic
practice to everyday life.
Chapter II ART & EVERYTHING/If a person has hair, this hair can move
through many stages (Delleuze/Guattari)
APRIL 8 - APRIL 29, 2016
The world of advertising as part of a global neoliberal mechanism
facing off the artistic practice?
Anna Khodorkovskaya’s works included in "Art & Everything" series
emphasize the neoliberal development and the connection that occurs
within the artistic practice, beyond any material and capitalist
interests. Globalization (as an extrinsic term for Fordism and
post-Fordism) refers to an acute process of integration and worldwide
spreading of a set of ideas which are more or less linked to the
economic activity and commodities production. The promoting forces in
this case are the liberalization of international trade and capital
fluxes, the acceleration of the information flow.
