Gulnur Mukazhanova exhibition at Michael Janssen gallery

‘Un-Conscious’

Silk and velvet fabrics stretch taut across canvases, drawing the viewer into Gulnur Mukazhanova’s solo exhibition at Michael Janssen Gallery. Titled “Un-Conscious,” the exhibition will be the artist’s first with the gallery to date, featuring a series of felt paintings and collages, both produced exclusively for the exhibition. “Un-Conscious” offers a survey of the artist’s nearly decade-long research into post-nomadic identities. The works together explore how felt and collage can become a conduit for subverting ancient practices and visuals that remain in circulation, and similarly meditate on cultures in flux through employing the language of abstraction.
