SHADOWexit
Two women artists, each one with her own distinctive work and past; and each one has her unique story to tell. Anna Kolosova and Megan Jentsch, through this collaborative project, are bringing their talents together and aiming at creative exhilaration. Not being able to ignore the global circumstances, the two women experienced separately and diversely what it means to be isolated. The socio-political disarray, affecting them each in a personal and unique way, could not but impact their psychology and work.
Lockdown was (and still can be) an idle captivity of the body and mind for the two artists, creating space for thought unfiltered and for creative explosiveness. Initiating from a creative and emotional stagnation, Jentsch and Kolosova managed to overcome the barrier and each one reach their own personal revelation.
Reflecting on their emotions through their emotions, the two artists will work together on a collaborative piece, in the form of a live action painting, with feelings and techniques intersecting. Deploying primarily already used materials, upcycling found objects and inspired by and utilising the power of music as a means to mediate and accompany their creative execution on the canvas, they will exhibit work that highlights and puts their pain on the spotlight, thus neutralising it.
The exhibition will include artworks created over the period of the first lockdown, alongside the collaborative live action painting, which will be videographed on the 26th of November. With artworks that were waiting to be seen and experienced, Megan Jentsch and Anna Kolosova are now being given the closure of a significant chapter, providing them with the impetus to evolve and exit from the shadows.
