Description
Based on the archive of Mamonov's great-grandfather who died in 1933 in the GULag, this mixed-media exhibition reflects the artist's personal reflection on the mechanisms of mind manipulation pursued by any dictatorship. Exhibition includes painting, photography with and without lightboxes and video art.
Bogdan Mamonov is a 2008 Kandinsky (Moscow) and 2009 Kandinsky (London) prize finalist, who has been exhibited widely in Europe and Russia and is now coming to New York for his American debut. This exhibit is another chapter in the artist's ongoing project titled The Intimate Life of Gregory Speer . The last chapter of this project will be exhibited in 2011 at the Moscow Museum of Contemporary Art.

Venue Info
Sputnik Gallery’s mission is to promote and exhibit in the United States post-Soviet contemporary photography, as well as other contemporary art, by emerging and mature artists
largely unknown outside of Russia.
We are currently creating a gallery that is truly unique in that it transcends the physical and cultural distance between Russia and the U.S. and allows for a more vibrant exchange of culture
and art between the two societies.
