The curatorial hypothesis of the «City [tracks and trails] project» is based on the need to revise the city’s art strategies. In this monolithic context, however, careful artistic attention can detect failures, images and symbols on the basis of which new paths can be laid.

«The exhibition shows part of the installation that was presented in 2009 at the 53rd Venice Biennale in a small brick room in Arsenal, where I discovered Anna Jöldy’s work. They reflected the idea of an artist’s basement workshop in Moscow. Absolute antagonism of the materials, environment and history of the art of Moscow and Venice.» Pierre-Cristian Broche

Perhaps in a strange way, apart from referring to Van Gogh’s paintings, there is a reference to the letters that the artist wrote to his brother Theo, but Anya addresses the audience in his letters, telling them about the hard life of the artist.
Valery Chtak, Eine Zukunft ist fur die Zukunft, 2010
«It was an artist I first got a job from in 2006. He was very fond of the work presented. As always, Valerius Chtak misleads the audience. Whose future is the future? „Valery was born on 25 August 1981 and died on 23 May 2024“ Pierre-Cristian Broche.
