AIDA MAHMUDOVA, NON-IMAGINED PERSPECTIVES SOLO EXHIBITION

01 Apr 18

YARAT Contemporary Art Space, a not-for-profit non-governmental contemporary art organisation in Baku, presents a solo exhibition of new works by Azerbaijani artist and founder of YARAT, Aida Mahmudova.

This exhibition is curated by Suad Garayeva-Maleki.

Across the top floor of the exhibition space, the artist has produced an entirely new body of work that builds on her exploration of material as a tool for experimentation. For the artist the process of destruction and re-creation, of building layers and tearing them apart, of mixing various materials, such as paper, clay, cement, stone and, for the first time in this show marble, becomes an exercise for material growth and emotional healing. The total installation of sculptures, resembling crumbling pillars, and monumental wall works create a feeling of a transient place, half ruined and half built, and one is reminded that entropy is an essential step of creation. For Mahmudova the process is everything and her textured works act as tokens of memory, each layer exposing a particular moment on the artist’s personal time-space continuum.
