“One day the sadness will end” is Alexandra Gart's first personal project in Nizhny Novgorod. The exhibition combines painting, installation and large-format works that continue the theme of post-anthropocene in the artist's practice. Her works reflect the ruined urban landscapes and the instability of the modern world, allowing us to conceptualize the boundaries between the natural and the man-made, the personal and the universal.
“When I drive up to the house, there is a relieved feeling that I have overcome something that is better not to look at,” writes Roman Mikhailov in his book ‘Antiravinagar’, an excerpt from which has become a conceptual part of the exhibition. The central object of the exhibition, a rusty metal non-functional structure, seems to have been transported to the gallery from an industrial zone or a vacant lot, i.e. from the dark side of urban space - one of the key concepts in Garth's practice.
Through blurred forms, textures and multi-layers, Alexandra creates images in which the living and the artificial are no longer antagonists, but enter into dialog.
The exhibition will be on view until March 2, 2025.
