脴leg&Ka艣ka: Figuring Desire, Reshaping Monstrosity
We are delighted to present the exhibition Figuring Desire, Reshaping Monstrosity, a solo show by 脴leg&Ka艣ka (PL). Their first exhibition on the local scene in Bucharest builds on their ever-growing interest in Eastern European mythology and pop culture, exploring the role of fantasy in the current context of socio-economic and environmental crises.
脴leg&Ka艣ka鈥檚 works are grounded in speculative strategies, engendering unexpected connections between pasts and presents, constructing what they call 鈥榩erformative sceneries鈥�. In their quasi-scenographies, folk characters such as the sleeping knights of the Giewont Mountain in Poland are unfaithfully represented as increasingly androgynous figures. Alchemy and the king鈥檚 court are taken as hierarchical settings in which the inequalities of today may be equally challenged.
In conjunction with the exhibition, there will be two collective reading sessions with Irina Bobei and Maria Persu. More details will follow.
