The Californer/10290716

NEW YORK - Californer -- International Group Art Exhibition exploring the contradictory cultural phenomenon of identities opens on September 12, Thursday (at 18:00) at the Perseus Gallery (456 W Broadway, New York).

Titled "Unlocked Identities," the project curated by Art Curator from Athens, Greece Julia Sysalova, is a group exploration of personal, social, and historical experiences through the lens of art on a global scale.

Through the complex labyrinths of their (sub)consciousness 21 emerging immigrant artists from the former USSR, living in different countries (USA, Spain, Cyprus, Kazakhstan, Greece, Italy, Finland, Austria, Armenia, Great Britain, Kyrgyzstan, Singapore), explore the surrounding reality, revisiting how new cultural and social codes influence their realia and artistic practice.

In search of a complex balance between internal and external contradictions, the artists talking about the ones they know best - about themselves, creating a dialogue with each other and with the public though painting, art photography, sculpture and installations.
