MY FEMINITY
Elena Done’s exhibition —“My Femininity”— brings together nine paintings created in her most recent period, during which the artist drew inspiration from Jacqueline Schaeffer’s psychoanalytic model of subjectivization and Roberto Assagioli’s theory of subpersonalities and disidentification. These works record the dissolution of the traditional bond between body and identity, raising the question of how identity evolves at a time when old structures—especially those related to the body, femininity, social roles, and visibility—begin to dissolve, and new ones attain embodiment and fulfillment.
IMAGINED LANGUAGE
Daria Muhina’s exhibition —“Imagined Language”— is a profound study of art as an attempt to preserve and transmit meaning in situations where spoken words are no longer enough. Drawing from her own memory, the aesthetics of folk art, and her private mythology, Daria has created her own imaginary alphabet, expressed through painting, embroidery, and textile forms.
Muhina’s visual system exists beyond the borders of a single culture, yet it invites interpretation from everyone. It connects the personal with the universal, turning personal memory into a shared experience and transforming visual perception into an act of translation from the internal to the collective.
The curator of Daria Muhina’s exhibition is Irina Machneva Mota.
