P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center presents the work of eight artists as part of the summer 2007 cycle of the International and National Projects program. Featuring new and recent works by an intergenerational group of artists, these solo exhibitions showcase a range of media, including video, photography, sculpture, and installation. The International and National Projects open on June 24, 2007.
Victor Alimpiev assumes the isolated viewpoint of an observer in order to capture both spontaneous and controlled nuances of human expression and behavior. In the video Sweet Nightingale (2005), a vast examination of uniformity and difference, a crowd performs a sequence of gestures choreographed to the music of Gustav Mahler. Deer (2002), with Sergey Vishnevsky, is a love story of devotion and detachment saturated with color and tactility. In Summer Lightnings (2004), schoolgirls synchronize percussion with an undulating summer storm. These works measure the subtle beauty, pain, and complacency of the individual in society.
Victor Alimpiev (b. 1973) is exhibiting at SMAK in Ghent this summer. Recent solo exhibitions include: Badischer Kunstverein in Karlsruhe, Germany; OK Center in Linz, Austria; Contemporary City Foundation, Regina Gallery, and Guelman Gallery, Moscow. Previous group exhibitions include the fourth Berlin Biennale in 2006; Russia!, The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York and Bilbao; Manifesta 5, Donostia-San Sebastian, Spain; Body Display, Secession, Vienna; and Individual Systems, 2003 Venice Biennale. Alimpiev has studied at Moscow Art School of Memory of 1905 and Open Society Institute in Moscow. He lives and works in Moscow.
This exhibition is organized by Klaus Biesenbach, P.S.1 Chief Curatorial Advisor and Chief Curator, Department of Media, The Museum of Modern Art.
