"Nothing new". Collage Exhibition

The name of the exhibition is “Nothing New”, this is its essence and main idea. “We do not announce new truths: the exposition tells more about what we constantly see around us,” the author tells about the project. The art of collage embodies the processing of meaning: pictures and letters are arranged in compositions and acquire other meanings, without changing themselves.

The exhibition will include collages created, according to the artist’s intention, only from ready-made elements: newspaper and magazine pages, advertising flyers, posters and other “products and offal” of mass media. The collage in this case involves the compilation of a new object from parts of the old, as a metaphor for the fact that "the new meaning is a product of the processing of other meanings." Following the same idea, the author included in the exposition an installation of items from the post-Soviet life, each of which once served for its intended purpose.
