FOUR VIEWS
Installation / Print on silk
The East Meets West Gallery is known in Moscow, Hong Kong and China for exhibits dedicated to the arts and crafts of the minority peoples of Southwest China. In this new project curator Tatiana Paleeva presents yet another view of the relationship between modern life and the ancient culture of Tibet, and the mysterious charms of a land that has for centuries fascinated and attracted European outsiders.
Tibet has the power to open up new facets of life, whether philosophical, religious or artistic. Who are we? Where do we come from? How do we relate to surrounding reality? How do we know ourselves? And how can we hear silence? We cannot answer these questions for you, but we can present the unique experience of each of the contributing artists in their contact with Tibetan culture.
Few works from Andrey’s series “Four Views” will be presented as part of the “Temple of Silence” – an installation that resembles a typical Buddhist temple from afar. It is a place of silence and stillness, a place where one can listen to his breath and heartbeat. The temple is constructed by the group of artists led by curator Tatiana Paleeva and decorated with contemporary printed textiles by Andrey Vrady.
