Anna Bochkova Space Cradle 25.03.2022 - 02.05.2022 #2 related to transition Opening: Friday 25.03.2022 7pm What is not possible today will become possible tomorrow. Space cradle develops and continues a visual research of Anna Bochkova about theories of the future from Eastern perspectives. Her sculptures take inspiration from rethinking Avant-garde concepts, sci-fi movies and from contemplation of Cosmism. Anna Bochkova’s ceramic objects on the one side seem to look like utility items, cloth, dolls and on the other they resemble a map or a digital landscape which forms spatial puddles as if it was liquid. A repeated image of cradle derives from former Soviet birth hospitals and questions the role of conceptual universes - perfect fictional worlds, arising from the fallen utopia, destroyed infrastructure, abandoned factories and desertification.
