Location: Grey Space In The Middle
An exhibition of paintings and performance, by Julia Kiryanova and The Alternation performance project.
Over the last two years our image of our world and our place in it has undergone radical change. Never before have we confronted our own lives from such a state of remove and with as dramatic an overview. Between Climate Change, Covid fear and World conflict, we now confront a transformed idea about destiny: for ourselves and the planet. Yet, the world has always tried to grapple with its destiny and one of the most resilient methods for this was found in a deck of cards known as the Tarot...
This exhibition comprises large scale drawings/paintings, and performance whose bodies are uniquely painted to coincide with the character of specific cards. The exhibition is based on a highly personal reimagining by the artist of the now familiar Tarot deck. The Tarot deck has both a major and a minor arcana of identifiable picture cards. The highly symbolic and numbered 22 card Major Arcana is the most identable aspect of the Tarot deck. These cards are highly associative and suggestive of narrative lines.
