Limits of visibility — Ekaterina Gerasimenko

The exhibition «Limits of Visibility» presents the works of 42 artists. The artists explore the issues of vision and the visible, using a variety of viewing points. Curator Sergey Khachaturov suggests considering new ways of spatiotemporal communication with the world, shifting the focus of attention from the central to the peripheral vision and using visual bypasses, mirrors, oblique trajectories, faceted vision and other fragments to discover a world that cannot be seen with a direct glance.

«In relation to the central, mainline view, the peripheral view is conflictual. It captures not a system, but a flow, not a structure, but entropy, not a whole, but a network of broken fragments. All these qualities correlate with the dramatic transformation of a person’s new identity in the world and the peculiarities of his reception. At the same time, non-classical systems of visual communication make it possible to expand the boundaries of the universe, to include something that had not previously received attention. Thus, it is more difficult and voluminous to understand the world,» said Sergey Khachaturov, the curator of the project.

The exhibition is divided into five thematic sections, each of which presents different visual possibilities, limitations, distortions and images.
