Opening on Friday 10 February from 6pm
Saodat Ismailova develops a singular filmic work, which embraces history and myth in a single gesture. It crosses the great tradition of observation cinema to build a new language, which seeks to account for buried cultures and beliefs, made invisible by the clean slate of the twentieth century. “Saodat Ismailova. Double horizon” is the first exhibition dedicated to the Uzbek artist in France, bringing together around his major pieces a rich network of artistic conversations within Central Asia and beyond.
Artists also present on the exhibition
Saodat Ismailova with Chingiz Aidarov, Vyacheslav Akhunov, Andrius Arutiunian, Maja Bajevic, Joseph Beuys, Mona Hatoum, Bobur Ismailov, Gulnara Kasmalieva & Muratbek Djumaliev, Rustam Khalfin, Sergey Maslov, Henri Michaux, Deimantas Narkevicius, Sara Hadoudou, Zineb Sedira, Fiona Tan, Yuliya Tikhonova, Yelena & Viktor Vorobyev.
With an exceptional loan from M HKA, Museum of Contemporary Art of Antwerp for the works of Rustam Khalfin and Sergey Maslov.
