About The Artwork

When you see the first doll, you read the question "What" and it might sound colloquial, then you start taking out the smaller toys and the entire sentence unfurls: ‘What are you up to?’ as if your friend asked you. Thus an old souvenir transforms into a combination of the traditional and the modern. A stereotypical Russian souvenir changed into a fashionable toy. Basically a matryoshka is a vapid and almost vulgar gift offered by tourist shops in Russia. Tourists are supposed to buy them at the last moment when they are struck by the thought that they need to bring something home and they don't have any choice. But everything is changing, so why shouldn't we revisit it? This shape is more rounded than the old oblong original. And it has the sequential phrase: ‘What are you up to’ printed on it.

Ekaterina Malakhova splits her focus between art and design, working in sculpture and installation. Ekaterina’s artistic approach of is to search for visual instant indicators: as an artist, she is always looking for ways to express the effects of time and capturing moments in life. “When, in life, we create instances and situations, sometimes we can only observe. However, every single one of our actions, our momentary appearance or even revelation and understanding - each stays at the instance when happen.” The other focus of artist’s interest is peoples mindsets and self awareness in nowdays. Today’s cities are not only physical spaces. These places of power or, in other words, public spaces which impact our way of life, are bound tightly to the Internet. A user’s experience of these spaces is being intertwoven with the reality. While it’s important to consider the nature of our physical presence in a place, it is equally important to reveal the facets of the digital spaces which run in parallel. These realities are interrelated and reflect each other. The cityscape is changing, and people’s mindsets are changing with it. We adapt to new urban conditions and requirements. Everyone is in a permanent state of observation, complicit in its pervasiveness and innured to its ubiquity. - I seek for the questions to ask people, this is my art way. I believe that art is not nesessary something complete and autonomic. Art lays in interactions, inerpretations, impressions and memories. Everythings changes, so our answers migh vary from yesterday to tomorrow, but the right question might be meaningful and up to day.
