CERTAIN EXCEPTIONAL ARTISTS IN EXCEPTIONABLE CIRCUMSTANCES BROKE FREE OF THE NORMS OF THE TRADITION AND PRODUCED WORK THAT WAS DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED TO ITS VALUES; YET THESE ARTISTS ARE PROCLAIMED AS THE TRADITION’S SUPREME REPRESENTATIVES. JOHN BERGER
OBSERVING FOREST / MICHIKO TSUDA
On March 18, the Zarya Center for Contemporary Art will present a solo exhibition of the Japanese artist Michiko Tsuda. Titled “Observing Forest,” the exhibition will feature video works from the series Yeu & Mo, 2007-2009, as well as the installation You would come back there to see me again the following day, 2016.
“Observing Forest” will not only mark the first time Michiko Tsuda’s works have been shown in Russia, it will also serve as a continuation of the discussion around the representation of the concept of movement in art, put forward by “Perpetuum Mobile,” a survey exhibition of Russian kinetic art, which opened in Zarya in February.
