On December 20, Artem Maksimov's personal exhibition opened at DiDi Gallery.
In the project "Collective Attractiveness," the author addresses the theme of clothing, which becomes a eloquent text. While the body — an empty sign — remains a blank page.
The porcelain figures are dressed in popular parkas that are still in fashion today—a marker of social status and state of mind. People "judge by clothes," reading elements of wardrobe and thus recognizing those who "co-experienced," "co-were present," "co-tried on jeans on cardboard."
Artyom offers his interpretation of Russian Cosmism, adding to the "down-to-earth" heroes representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations. The sculpture in the exhibition is accompanied by painting, alluding to the colorful patterns of Barnett Newman and Mark Rothko. In the artist's paintings, the extremely material is hidden - a Louis Vuitton jacket. Material, but no less magical for that.
"Collective Attractiveness" with references to pop culture and ruthless exploitation of the everyday—this is an exhibition that should be consumed rather than viewed and experienced, washed down with water charged by Kaspirovsky."
