MAMM Honours Anya Zhurud With Posthumous Retrospective 'Inhale Exhale'
The Multimedia Art Museum has opened a posthumous retrospective exhibition, 'Inhale Exhale', honouring the late Anya Zhurud (1981-2025). Zhurud was a prominent figure in Russian contemporary art, known for her unique perspective on ordinary objects and interiors.
Zhurud's career began at the age of 28 with a successful exhibition at the Russian Museum, leading to an invitation to the prestigious Venice Biennale in 2009. Her 'Communications' project there symbolized the interaction between people through invisible connections. Throughout her career, Zhurud focused on simple, rough contours or metal rods to depict everyday objects and interiors.
Her art often incorporated her personal life and struggles. After her husband Vitaly Skvortsov's death in 2010, Zhurud moved to the village of Arinino under Gzhel, using her experiences as material for her art. Some works were seen as cries for help, reflecting her mental health struggles following her husband's passing. Her final exhibition, 'Abzac', showed a shift in her belief in the power of communication.
Zhurud's work was interpreted in various ways. Some saw it as an anti-consumerist rebellion, while others viewed it as a critique of middle-class stability.
The 'Inhale Exhale' exhibition at the Multimedia Art Museum is a fitting tribute to Zhurud's legacy, showcasing her unique perspective and artistic evolution. It serves as a reminder of her significant impact on Russian contemporary art from the 2000s to the early 2010s.
