Are you ready to be transported to a world of artistic exploration and inspiration? Look no further than the Spirit Labor exhibition in the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, an immersive and thought-provoking showcase of contemporary art.
Featuring works from 30 artists across Southeast and Central Asia, the Caucasus, and Eastern and Western Europe, this exhibition delves into the challenging and often-unexplored durational dimension of artistic practices. From body art to conceptual pieces, each artwork takes you on a journey of emotional and psychological labour that artists undertake to create their masterpieces.
Prepare to be amazed by the incredible efforts and colossal difficulties that artists put into their work, including examples such as Tehching Hsieh's seven-year-long projects and Vyacheslav-Yura Useinov's eleven-year painting. Witness the physical endurance and mental fortitude required of artists in performances such as Elena Kovylina's Save My Soul and He Yunchang's resistance gesture.
But it's not just about the artists' struggles. The Spirit Labor exhibition also highlights the incredible beauty and inspiration that comes from challenging the status quo. Yoshiko Shimada's performance, for instance, serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of discussing violence against women in Japan and worldwide.
As you explore this exhibition, you'll be completely immersed in the world of artistic exploration and inspiration. The exhibition design, with its concrete cubicles, adds to the overall ambience and provides an almost "confessional" confinement with each artwork.
Don't miss out on this incredible exhibition that showcases the heart and soul of contemporary art. Come and be inspired by the incredible lengths that artists go to create works that challenge and inspire us all.
