COMING SOON: “Olga Chernysheva: Vague Accents” will be on view October 7 at The Drawing Center. The exhibit will comprise of a series of drawings the Moscow-based artist made during a month-long visit to New York in November 2015.
Last year, in an conversation with RoxanaMarcoci, Senior Curator in the department of photography MoMA, Chernysheva discussed her experience as part of a generation living in post-Soviet Russia. She talked about how, through her active observation of her surroundings, she documents the “byproducts of communism still visibly entrenched in Russia’s volatile and fragile socio-political ecosystem.”
