PAPERWORK, WORKS ON PAPER

20 - 26 January, 2024, Culterim | Backshop

Opening: 20 January, 2024, 6pm

The exhibition is centered on the practice of working with contemporary drawing, including graphic arrangements, automatic handwriting, scientific elements, and bureaucratic forms. The spatial dialogue between the two artists in the exhibition format is the result of years of discussions about the harmonies and distinctions in the practice of presenting pure data and information through intuitive algorithms. What unites us is a shared inclination towards classification, cataloging, organizing information, and archiving experiences and knowledge. Each of us constructs a complex system of rules that govern the process of drawing.

DARIA CHERNYSHOVA

Intuition plays a leading role in Daria Chernyshova’s practice. The starting point of her work is an ephemeral vision seen by her inner eye. She documents these insights, supplementing them with records of emotions translated into a graphic language. The drawing process becomes a tool she uses to observe the ways in which the mind memorizes, stores, and reproduces information in reimagined form. The compositions of Intuitive Practice combine abstraction with geometric shapes and often include figurative elements referring to her personal recollections. They resemble tables, schedules, questionnaires or notebook pages that Chernyshova fills out during sessions of self-reflection.

PROTEY TEMEN

Protey Temen’s practice is centered around using drawings, videos, books, and installations to create abstract visuals that explore and visualize the intersections between science and visual data. By utilizing the poetry of everyday life processes, he can create a deeper understanding and connection to the world around us. He sees science as a universal language, expressed through the synthetic methods of written text, calculations, and drawing. The goal of his practice is to bridge the gap between science and everyday life, encouraging viewers to question their understanding of the world and their place in it.
