In the new project "The artists are in position" the artist refers to 1990’s stockholders, 1970’s performance and mysterious practitioners  6-5 century B.C. In an ironic attempt to overcome post-modernism, Katerina will present a series of sculptures from terracotta, performance art and visual poetry.

Katerina Alimova deliberately uses terracotta clay as the main material and introduces the concept of "zero degree of ceramics", referring us to the materialistic origins of art. The terracotta, from which all works are made - this is the zero level that embodies in itself the applied and artistic experience of humanity. According to the artist, clay here is a pulsating protomatter. The main metaphor of the artistic narrative is the body in general and the body of the artist in particular. 

The exhibition included the artist book "Zero level of ceramics" with photo documentation of performances, presentation of new works and poems by Katerina Alimova. As part of a parallel program, the artist at DiDi Gallery will perform a series of performances. The schedule of events will be presented on the gallery website and in social networks after the opening of the exhibition.
