Garage Museum in Moscow presents lecture on Azerbaijani Contemporary Art

Lecture by Nailya Allakhverdieva: 'The Current Context of Azerbaijani Contemporary Art'

Monday 23 June 2014, 19:00

Garage Museum of Centemporary Art, Moscow

This lecture is dedicated to a new creative generation that is actively developing the Azerbaijan art scene, the first generation of artists to grow up in the post-Soviet era. Their work is not about a search for national identity, the theme that had entirely absorbed the previous generation. Instead, these young artists from Baku are ironically distancing themselves from everything that appears as 'national character' or 'national culture', instead focusing on the interests of their everyday lives such as personal identity, personal history, and intimacy.

As part of the lecture, Nailya Allakhverdieva will present the works of Emin Azizbeyli, Tahmina Ali, Farhad Farzaliyev, Lala Gasim, Sitara Ibrahimova, Samir Salakhov, Zamir Suleymanova, Elturan Mamedov, Fidan Seyidova, Agil Abdullayev and Nazrin Mamedova, which can currently be seen at the exhibition "Astar" at MMOMA on Ermolaevsky,  part of the IV Moscow International Biennale for Young Art.
