Opening Sunday, October 20, 6–8pm
Fridman Gallery, 169 Bowery, New York, NY 10002
Fridman Gallery is honored to present Partial Eclipse, the product of a yearlong dialogue between New York–based artists Anton Ginzburg and Dasha Shishkin.Informed by Exquisite Corpse — the surrealist game merging disparate ideas and images to form unexpected wholes — the artists employ collage, chance, and humor to reveal unanticipated relationships between their artworks. Though using seemingly different formal vocabularies, the artists share many themes and interests, with an eye on traditions of Russian Futurists and avant-garde artists, writers, and musicians, including collectives of the 1920s and 1930s, such as the multidisciplinary OPOYAZ and OBERIU.
Anton Ginzburg film, sculpture, painting, and text-based work to investigate historical narratives and poetic studies of place, representation, and post-Soviet identity. He earned an MFA from Bard College, Milton Avery Graduate School of Arts. Ginzburg’s work has been shown at the 54th Venice Biennale, Blaffer Art Museum, Palais de Tokyo, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, White Columns, Lille3000, the first and second Moscow Biennales, and Cooper-Hewitt. Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, Ginzburg is based in New York City.
