Konstantin Bessmertny: Journey to the East at Gallery Exit
The whole exhibition is a journey through the endless art landscapes, historical references, visual quotes and allusions (I feel like I have a bit of an advantage here in recognizing some of them due to being Russian too). Sometimes you are accompanied by The Knight, sometimes by historical figures or cartoonish characters; the exploration of post-colonial themes and globalization will occur regularly along the way. There will be a lot to decipher but slowly you will make your journey to the East only to discover that you coming from the West — congratulations, you’ve made a full circle.
Exhibition period: 4.05–8.06
Gallery address: 3/F, 25 Hing Wo Street, Tin Wan, Aberdeen
