Photography Exhibition Anyone?

The exhibition "Russian Contemporary Photography" by


Sergey Borisov

Vadim Gushchin

Franciso Infante

Alexander Slyusarev


will open on Sunday, September 21, at 8 pm at the MASHRABIA GALLERY of Contemporary Art and will continue until October 16, 2008.

This exhibition presents a small, yet significant panorama of contemporary Russian photography. The unique wealth of this art is reflected in the wide range of themes and techniques of each artist, from still life to artefacts, and the diverse glances that each turns upon art and reality. The path that the photographers in this exhibition chose has also been deeply influenced by the historical moment in which their work developed, be it under the yoke of Soviet censorship, at the moment of the USSR’s decay or as the country opened up to the West.
