Irina Nakhova

Irina Nakhova is the pioneer of the genre of "total installation" in Soviet underground art. She concurrently works in painting – creating structured environments from several superimposed planes – and installation, her most vivid employing painting, digital printing, sculpture, and interactive video and audio. Nakhova’s installations often create and define space using formal means and material, together with biting wit and a historical and social perspective. Nakhova has been selected to represent Russia with a solo exhibition in the Russian Pavilion at the 56th Venice Biennale in 2015.

Irina Nakhova will direct a two-week course from 27 July to 8 August 2015.
