When #Onegin arrives at her family’s country est

When #Onegin arrives at her family’s country estate, #bookish teenager #Tatyana is impressed by his air of #sophistication. Impulsively, she pours her heart out to him in a letter, triggering a #lifechanging series of events. Years later, they meet again in #StPetersburg, and are confronted with a devastating moment of truth. In a #timeless story of innocence and experience, #Tchaikovsky’s #haunting #score captures every shade of #emotion.

Today marks the opening of “Archipenko and the Italian #AvantGarde” at the @estorickcollection.
This #ambitious exhibition proposes an alternative #history of #modernism by retracing the relationship between Alexander Archipenko and the #masters of the Italian avant garde.
Born in #Kyiv, #Archipenko (1887-1964) was one of the twentieth century’s most influential #sculptors. He spent time in Moscow before settling in Paris in 1909, where he developed an emphatically modern interpretation of #sculpture under the influence of #Cubist imagery. Between 1911 and 1912 he created a number of truly original works in which human figures were broken down into sections that seemed to move in circles and spirals upon themselves.

@gazelliarthouse is pleased to present Aida #Mahmu

@gazelliarthouse is pleased to present Aida #Mahmudova’s @aidasaya new body of work in her #debut #solo show, Liminality, #curated by Alistair Hicks @alistairhicks. Commenting on her rapidly #modernising country’s forgotten and marginal corners, Mahmudova uses art as an outlet to give a feeling of #stability to co-exist in this #unprecedented environment. Art gives no #boundaries and opens to any communicational #variations for the artist. The works on show are shrouded by an #aura of #metaphysical fog — adding a layer of #surrealism and positioning each piece as a memory that is fading within time and space. Visit the show for a limited time - details in our ‘latest article’ link!

What significance does #hygiene carry in the #post

What significance does #hygiene carry in the #postpandemic world? Is it an #obsession, and is the synonym of #safe now #sterile?
“Hygiene was an important #signifier in #1920s Russia. Cleanliness developed into a #political statement that extended from #domestic maintenance to leisure choices and revealed gender, ethnic, and class #prejudices. Dirt denoted the past and poor politics; health and cleanliness signified mental acuity, political #orthodoxy, and #modernity.” — Tricia Starks, Body Soviet: Propaganda, Hygiene, and the Revolutionary State, 2008
@kasbj13 was recently in conversation with @anya_mokhova_ about her practice, shifts in what is culturally acceptable and much more. Read her article vi the link in our bio ✍️
