The exhibition "Till Dawn" is the first part of a joint project by Shift and Gallery 9B, dedicated to the theme of the city, the mystery of the night, the image of the observer and the cinematic superstructure in contemporary art.

The works of the artists represented in the project, Tim Parshchikov, Syoma and Evsti Bomse, addressing the techniques of cinema, expressive colors, the dramaturgy of comics, the nature of naive art and art brut, reveal the feelings of alluring appeal and frightening freedom that the city gives to the night wanderer. The artistic and narrative features of the works allow the viewer to become a witness to the hidden mystery of the night: romantic and marginal, idle and melancholic, everyday and extraordinary.

The next chapter in the collaboration of the galleries is joint participation in the Korean contemporary art fair Art Busan, which will be held from May 8 to 11. The exhibition stand will present even more "night works".

REFERENCE

Shift is a contemporary art gallery founded in 2023 by Vladislav Dukhanin and Daria Kuznetsova.

The gallery participates in all relevant Russian art fairs, in international projects (Art Busan, South Korea), collaborates with museum institutions (the Ural branch of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, etc.), and also produces exhibition projects in Russian cultural institutions. The works of the gallery's artists are in private and museum collections (Multimedia Art Museum, Moscow; Moscow Museum of Modern Art, etc.).
