Crush

2020

Site-specific project about love 

2 CURATORIAL FORUM 

Cutaror: Anna Zavediy

“Crush” means a romantic attraction, passion, the condition of being in love, which contrast with the second definition of the word — clash, strike, crack, rift.The college years here are understood not only as the educational process, but also as time of finding oneself through another (person), his or her (or their) words and actions. The works of the artists refer to strong emotions, contradictory feelings of euphoria and disappointment caused by romantic infatuation.

“Eyes on the chain”, “Drop” (plastic) sculptures by Katerina Sokolovskaya represent emotional images of hovering in feelings: sculptures that are repelled by our sensations (sight, smell, touch) are suspended above the viewer in different spaces as obsessive affects.
