TANYA AKMETGALIEVA. ALLERGY TO DUST. GENERAL STAFF BUILDING.

4 september 2014-26 october 2014

TANYA AKMETGALIEVA. 'ALLERGY TO DUST'.

THE GENERAL STAFF BUILDING, St.Petersburg.


The "Allergy to Dust" project is a continuation of a series of works that was shown at the exhibition "Actual Drawing" in the Russian Museum. The artist embroiders disc phones and televisions of old models, the thread here becomes a metaphor for information flows. In the images of Akhmetgalieva, technical items are piled on top of each other, the number of signals is off scale, it is difficult to cope with the "information dust". The new project includes video works to complement this disturbing image.
