On the 8th of September at 6 PM, the opening of Andrej Polukord’s solo exhibition Goat will be held at the (AV17) Gallery.
Andrej Polukord is an installation, performance, and video artist whose projects often deal with ambiguous, unpredictable, and absurd situations. His work explores various themes like everyday life, ecology, human activity in nature, and institutional critique. Andrej Polukord’s work also contains references to folk cultures, as well as certain mythical stories.
In his solo exhibition Goat, Andrej Polukord will present both new and previously created works that analyse consumerism and related themes. The focus of the exhibition is the goat, the symbol of ritualism, widely described in ancient mythology, especially the motifs of goat sacrifice. The multidimensional meaning of the work itself and its connection to the old culture allows us to rethink what is becoming a sacrifice today. This is particularly relevant now, in the times when the relationship between man and nature never ceases to change. The author does not seek to provide already formulated answers but leaves space for the viewer to openly discuss in which direction consumerism in capitalist society is leading: towards the evolution or involution of humanity.
