IF THE ARTIST WRITES A FIELD OR A VASE WITH FLOWERS, HIS PICTURE BECOMES A WINDOW EXPLORING THE WORLD.

Curated by Maria Kramar
The exhibition Absent Monuments develops on a curatorial project that started while in residence at Zarya CCA in 2015, when research into the local context, conducted alongside students of a month-long training course, sparked an interest in the idea of “nonmaterial monuments.”
Absent Monuments explores the material forms of memory existing today in the nonmaterial landscape of Vladivostok.
