This is an art review I wrote for "Art News : London," a website I recently launched and head.
Photo I, Photo You is curated by Iara Boubnova and presents works by leading Russian and Eastern European artists who invite viewers to reconsider what they think they know through a series of mixed media works. The show is based on Boubnova’s research. The artists are clearly inspired by their origin and lead us to reconsider what is presented. It’s tough stuff to contemplate to be sure, nonetheless worthwhile. Among the highlights are celebrated Ukrainian photographer Boris Mikhailov’s randomly overlapped imagery and Albanian artist Anri Sala’s squawking and symmetrical super 16 film, Long Sorrow.
Photo I, Photo You runs from Thursday the 28th of January until Sunday the 28th of March. Calvert22 is located at 22 Calvert Avenue (E2 7JP). Visit www.calvert22.org for more information. "Art News : London" is written by a cohort of master's students studying Art Business (2010) at the Sotheby's Institute of Art in London and offers fresh and candid views on the London art scene including reviews about recent exhibitions, auction results, and international news.
