Fresh from exhibits at The Hermitage in St. Petersburg AND Shift in Basel AND headed to opening an annex in Berlin AND an excursion to the Arctic Circle - Dam, Stuhltrager Galley has grown wings AND evolved.
A new exhibit explores the internal and external conflicts in following one's own path.
"Scene One"
two new short films
by YULIYA LANINA
Dates: January 30 - March 01, 2009
Reception:
Fri Jan 30, 7-9pm
Camera opens on closed curtain. There's noise of
preparation and anticipation. Black satin hands pull back the red
velvet. Cue Music. Action: Rapid flashing pans to panting and smoking.
"Mishka",
the latest film by Yuliya Lanina, opens in onto a debaucherious stage
where characters are intent on redefining themselves. Lanina's world of
animatronic actors and actresses embody sexuality, indulgence,
defiance, wit, confidence, introspection and humor that enrapture
viewers to want to watch. The cast, a group of robotic children's toys
employed and constructed by Lanina, are immediately identifiable with
conventions and confrontations of struggling to balance one's place in
the world with the place one sees him/herself. Characters draw
parallels to the stories splashed across headlines, whispered among
circles of friends, feuded over family dinner tables and debated on
personal levels in the minds of us all.
Created
entirely by the artist - from characters to storyline, stages, music,
editing and choreography – Lanina's videos are byproducts of growing up
with likes of Paul McCarthy, Madonna and Brett Eason Ellis as much as
Sid and Marty Krofft, Tim Burton or Roald Dahl.
In
her first work incorporating animatronic sculptures, the aptly titled
"Play With Me", Lanina's dark dramedy takes a page from Ed Wood's
ability to be brilliantly – and unconsciously - endearing. Omnipresent
reminders let the audience know they are looking directly through an
artist's uncensored, honest, consuming passionate vision. Watching
combines the voyeurism of spying on a child playing in their room over
a webcam with the glee of attending a show where the performance was so
sincere everyone in the audience felt like a V.I.P.
After
formally adding Lanina to their gallery, Dam, Stuhltrager introduces
her films, stage sets and animatonic sculpture in "Scene One".
