This exhibition featured photographs by the Gerlovins, Russian-born artists, who were leading figures in the underground conceptual art movement in Soviet Russia. Their works explore the nature of thought and what lies beyond it, presented in their “metaphorical theatre of consciousness.” The artists photograph themselves not as models but as modules used for personification of the different stages of their life ‘perhappenings.’ Their works have been shown at the Art Institute of Chicago, the New Orleans Museum as well as the Venice Biennale, Italy; and have been featured in many publications including the cover of The New York Times Magazine.
