Russian Art + Culture on Fyodor Pavlov-Andreevich’s first solo show at the London gallery, Decorative Sacredness, on view until June 29th.
"Decorative Sacredness reveals the artist’s critical examination of modern slavery and is a timely artistic intervention amidst the ongoing discussions on the unknown scale of the criminal practice in the UK and internationally…
Organised around the allegorical number of seven, Pavlov-Andreevich’s series of video works Temporary Monuments correspond to seven episodes of suffering of Brazilian slaves, both alluding to the historical past and those recorded in more recent times. Each of the episodes recorded by the artist is an iteration of the eternal attempt to break the chains of slavery, – or at least to raise critical awareness by acknowledging it out loud."
