Renowned Duo, the writer Viktor Jerofejew and the artist Genia Chef, present a subversive exhibition on the theme of the Body: “TELO”

Berlin, HAZE GALLERY – The upcoming exhibition on the theme of “TELO” is set to be a grand celebration of the human form. This revolutionary exhibition, hosted at the renowned HAZE GALLERY promises to present a unique and immersive experience that blends the written word with visual arts, showcasing the artistic prowess of two great minds – Viktor Jerofejew, a bestselling author, and Genia Chef, an acclaimed painter.
The exhibition is inspired by the recently published book, „The Body,“ (Viktor Jerofejew) which delves deep into the human existence and explores the nuances of the human experience. The writer and the artist through their respective mediums, bring to life the beauty, complexity, and fragility of the human form in a way that is both thought-provoking and visually stunning.
“It seems to me that Genia and I are at the point now where we, as free and excited people about this subject, can say that we are bringing this topic up” said Viktor Jerofejew, “we may be bringing this up for the first time since the Greeks.”
Genia Chef, the celebrated painter, added: “We want to express something meaningful in human life, history or aesthetics, and TELO already dictates by itself what the artist will depict. It says, „I am the subject of your image, and then do what you want.“
The exhibition, scheduled to open on May 26th, will feature over 30 exquisite paintings and quotes from the book, including live readings. Both of the artists will be present.

The exhibition promises to be a one-of-a-kind experience that engages all of the senses and inspires visitors to think without established restrictions about the human form. With a unique combination of prose and visual arts, Viktor Jerofejew and Genia Chef challenge traditional notions of the human form and invite visitors to see it in a whole new light.

The title „I will arrive there on time“ suggests, not without irony, many possible significant destinations – The time plays here an essential role for the artist. One of the works (Requiem-box I) reveals the fact that the artist herself does not know exactly where her destination is / what it is, and yet dares to make a very self-righteous statement about her punctuality. Being punctual means having time under control, which can be very valuable, but also carries an uncompromising character. The artist rejects one of her other longings „to go along with time“ by manifesting a contradictory statement (CA No. 3) “ Time is not for saving“. Time is thereby devalued, and Victoria Rosenman sees it as an act of liberation from any determinant aspects in the creative process.
At the same time, the artist allows the viewer to share in her memories, for the sake of her own dismantling, which opens a better understanding of her personality. Being in the „now“ is one of the artist’s longings. To be more aware of the present and her own ego-understanding, VR reflects on her moments of the past: she shows key figures and objects that contribute to her current beliefs. Some of her thoughts and manifestos are handwritten on copper sheets and others are photographs of familiar figures and faces.

The exhibition could be seen as a section of the artist’s self-study, which is also a journey, with many destinations that she intends to reach on time, in her own way.

VERNISSAGE : THURSDAY, 27 APRIL  2023, 7 – 9 PM | Artists will be present
EXHIBITION DURATION: 27 APRIL  – 06 JUNE

We’re all used to posting holiday photos on Instagram – bright, catchy, and filled with sunny smiles. Most of us associate the word ‚holiday‘ with something pleasant and relaxing. But is it always like that? Modern culture and cliché thinking dictate strict rules for our social media presence and, by obeying them, we create an illusory reality in which there is only the appearance of holidays and widespread success. Being unsuccessful, and unhappy is not accepted, uncomfortable for those around us, and destructive to the myth of a happy life cultivated by the consumer society.

In „Strange Holidays“, three authors – Irina Drozd, Ivan Plusch, and Dmitry Shorin – offer the viewer their own interpretations of what a holiday can look like outside of glossy, hollowed-out photographs. All three authors have their own unique and recognizable artistic language, but what they have in common is the love for combining hyper-realistic elements with surrealistic details, foreign creatures, and perspectives that would not be possible in real life. All the authors use bright colors, images, sharp and contrasting light, and shade in their works.

In Irina Drozd’s works, we see landscapes full of warm sunlight, and smiling characters, but a subtle sense of unease instantly permeates the viewer. Next to the blond children there are characters that shouldn’t be here – fantastic creatures and strange details, painted in great detail, are frighteningly realistic. The author works, as in many of his other picturesque canvases, with the theme of fears. Using metaphorical images and archetypes which, despite their strange and inexplicable essence, have a rather unambiguous perception of something sinister, Irena leaves space for the viewer to reflect on what they represent for him personally and what kind of nightmare a vacation on the beach can turn into.

Ivan Plusch as well as Irina turn to the theme of fear, but in his works it is more a fear that a holiday threatens to become eternal. The artist’s wish for a good holiday doesn’t inspire optimism and quite the contrary – it pours a wave of coldness over the viewer. The sultry sky and verdant palm trees dissolve beneath a surrealistic sky that drips with smudges reminiscent of corrosive, destructive acid and leaves nothing in its path. The allegorical image of the elements, to which we always long for when we go on holiday, is rediscovered in Ivan’s work. We are reminded that nature is not only beauty, mountains, sun and sea; it is also the most destructive force within the power of our existence.

Dmitry Shorin, unlike the other two artists, has less recourse to surrealist detail and works with the viewer’s attention through unexpected angles and perspective. In his canvases, the space in which the characters exist is distorted, subject to the author’s intention, and lives according to different laws than those we are accustomed to in real life. Dmitry’s paintings are also full of light and bright colour accents, which gives them a sense of liveliness, lightness and joyful mood, but not the kind we are used to seeing in social networks, but an ironic, prickly and thought-provoking one.
