Forbidden archeology
Curated by Kamilla Lubart







MARCH 8- JUNE 8 2020

The Forbidden Archeology exposition looks like a museum-installed, recreated by archaeologists civilization that is many thousands of years old. The form of the exposition is twelve separate installations-policies. At the head of each policy is a vase with a human face. It is surrounded by a city-settlement, consisting mainly of ritual objects of the meal - bowls, vessels, dishes, goblets. There are hand-painted medallions, hemispheres, and various alchemical objects, also covered with drawings. Twelve installations are combined into one large ceramic country, civilization.
The Forbidden Archeology project should be considered as a cultural layer recreated in ceramics, a museum in the true sense of the word - the presence of muses is felt here.
This is archaic in its purest form, not dishes and vases, but vase sculptures, vessel sculptures, bowl sculptures ... The pantheon of anthropomorphic vase creatures surrounded by relics that accompany them on a journey through space and time.

All these spirits and objects seemed to be waiting for the moment to be embodied through the hands of a modern artist, behind whom the experience of all world culture and history.
The project "Forbidden Archeology" synthesizes sculpture, ceramics, painting, graphics, installation, ritual art.

Many sculptural objects are covered with paintings - visual texts. They can be interpreted as illustrations from the life of mythical creatures, embodied in the Forbidden Archeology.
