The Address is pleased to present the solo exhibition ‘blood thinner, low-dose aspirin, best painkillers for kids’ by the artist Vladislav Markov, displayed in the gallery spaces in Brescia.
For the occasion, the artist will show a series of upublished works such as paintings, sculptures and sound installations, created over the last year between his New York studio and a month of residency in the gallery.
Vladislav Markov works in immersive installation, sculpture, and pain-ting, rendering objects in an unfamiliar ontological state to challenge the viewer’s perception. His procedural gestures result in an altered version of a readymade by shifting its state from digital to physical and back again. Markov’s paintings reference this complex process of dissociation by obscuring quotidian subjects in a process of digitally re-creating them from low-fidelity photogrammetry scans, transposing the viewer into a liminal mental space where the distance from perception to recognition becomes impossible to traverse.
Markov holds a BFA from Parsons School of Design and an MFA fromCornell University.
