Georgy Zakharov "Association of Workers 3"

In the Small Hall.

The exhibition of George Zakharov in Korea is dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the artist.

“The name of the exhibition refers simultaneously to two contexts. Firstly, to the biographical one, since Georgy Zakharov in the mid-1970s chose a lifestyle - an “auxiliary worker” - and the corresponding style of clothing and behavior. Secondly, the title has a mythopoetic layer, since the “Association of Support Workers” sounds as exotic as the “Association of the Bigfoot." On the other hand, the title has a direct connection with needlework in the broad sense, because what else to do for the ancillary workers… Unlike most of his predecessors, Georgy Zakharov uses the assembling technique not as an invoice technique, but as a way to fill the work with semantic contexts. ”

Valran, artist

“Zakharov’s creativity is always unexpected… You can take a long time to consider a stylized couple of aliens who decided to show the audience a human invitation to dance, or you can see these rhythmic clay forms that have lost their traveling reality. It is important to understand one thing - all of them asked outside from the artistic imagination of Georgy Zakharov, because they were closely inside his closed world. "

Yuri Gogolitsin, art critic

Georgy Zakharov was born on January 5, 1943 in an evacuation in the Sverdlovsk region. He entered the art in the late 60s.
