    Aida Mahmudova Passing By… May 28 – July 3, 2015 Aida Mahmudova, Rambling Vine, 2015, Mixed media on canvas, 65 x 82.6 in / 165x210cm Courtesy of the artist, Yay Gallery, Baku and Leila Heller Gallery, New York Opening Reception: May 28, 6 - 8 pm 568 W 25th Street New York, NY 10012 New York, NY – Aida Mahmudova’s first solo exhibition in the United States, Passing By…, will be on view at Leila Heller Gallery, 568 West 25th Street, from May 28 – July 3, 2015. The exhibition will feature eight new paintings that build on the themes of nostalgia and memory found in her past work and draw inspiration from the landscape and architecture of Azerbaijan where she currently lives and works. 568 West 25th Street New York, NY 10001 | Tel: +1 212 249 7695 Fax: +1 212 249 7693 www.LeilaHellerGallery.com Mahmudova animates the surface of the canvas drawing attention to both the process of painting and the material qualities of the paint itself. Mahmudova plays with depth, perspective and scale, creating large-scale scenes that draw in the viewer. A structure of bold planes of color is combined with layers of textured brushstrokes. The painted surface is further animated and enlivened with the addition of materials such as polyurethane foam over which an impasto application of paint is applied to build volume. In this series of paintings, Mahmudova explores the idea of impermanence. The works provide glimpses of Azerbaijan’s natural surroundings, urban environment and architecture—a backdrop that is undergoing constant and rapid change. Where one expects to see contrasting images of gleaming new construction alongside historic vestiges of Islamic architecture, Mahmudova instead focuses on modest structures on the peripheries of urban centers as they compete and coalesce with the native foliage.

Courtesy of Friends of the High Line NOCTURNAL FESTIVAL CELEBRATES THE MAYOR'S FIRST LONDON BOROUGH OF CULTURE IN WALTHAM FOREST WITH PROGRAMME OF 12 CURATED PROJECTS ON 22 JUNE TUESDAY 19 MARCH 2019, London (UK): London’s largest contemporary art festival, Art Night, announces first details of the Curated Programme — a selection of internationally acclaimed artists presenting 12 commissions in locations around Walthamstow and King’s Cross. Curated by Helen Nisbet — her first edition as Art Night’s Artistic Director — the programme will take place on the night of 22 June 2019, beginning at 5.00pm in King’s Cross and 7.00pm in Walthamstow, and running throughout the night. Art Night is generously supported by international auction house Phillips for the fourth year running, and this year takes place as part of the official programme for the first ever Mayor's London Borough of Culture in Waltham Forest. In 1993 the London pop group East 17 released their single It’s Alright, heralding a new era for boy bands and making E17 the most exciting postcode in popular culture. In 2019 this song provides the inspiration for the fourth Art Night festival in Walthamstow and King’s Cross. The 12 Art Night curated projects have been conceived in response to the physical context of these locations and the communities who use them.

  • AHMET ÖĞÜT NO POEM LOVES ITS POET YARAT Contemporary Art Centre, Baku, Azerbaijan 18 March – 14 June 2020 (Preview 17 March)
    AHMET ÖĞÜT NO POEM LOVES ITS POET YARAT Contemporary Art Centre, Baku, Azerbaijan 18 March – 14 June 2020 (preview 17 March) Ahmet Öğüt, Still from No poem loves it poet, 2020, commissioned by YARAT, courtesy by the artist YARAT Contemporary Art Space is pleased to present a solo exhibition from the Amsterdam-based Kurdish artist Ahmet Öğüt (b. 1981), running 18 March – 14 June 2020. The show features two new, site-responsive commissions spanning across video and sculpture, entitled Hiçbir şiir, şairini sevmez (No poem loves its poet) and Living Beings Squatting Institutions. Referring to the physical and societal structures imposed by mankind throughout history – dividing both living beings and cultures – Öğüt’s works allude to how these structures are ultimately permeable states. The video installation Hiçbir şiir, şairini sevmez (No poem loves its poet) takes its title from a piece of Turkic graffiti the artist encountered during a visit to Sovetsky – a historic neighborhood in Baku now under demolition. Presented on a large modular LED wall, with original music composed by Sub- Botnick (Ahmet Öğüt and Maru Mushtrieva), the video features overhead footage spanning across Baku’s central districts. Two lost flight attendants can be seen within the rubble holding a road sign for Tolstoy Street, which formerly ran through the Sovetsky neighborhood. Observing the cultural evolution and radical urbanization of Azerbaijan - which has shared Soviet, Turkic and Azerbaijani histories - Öğüt gestures towards the succession of governing bodies who have attempted to remove traces of their predecessors via urban gentrification, social norms and economic powers. Interweaving throughout the exhibition space, an architectural installation mimics Baku’s city walls, originally erected to hide ‘undesirable’ areas; those which are occupied or are remains of Soviet culture.

  • TAUS MAKHACHEVA CHARIVARI YARAT Contemporary Art Centre, Baku, Azerbaijan July 12 – October 6, 2019 (Preview July 11)
    TAUS MAKHACHEVA CHARIVARI YARAT Contemporary Art Centre, Baku, Azerbaijan July 12 – October 6, 2019 (preview July 11) Film still from the documentary ‘National circus’ (1967). Courtesy Krasnogorsk Film Archive YARAT Contemporary Art Space announces a solo exhibition from multidisciplinary artist Taus Makhacheva, running 12 July – 6 October 2019. Living and working in her hometown of Moscow, Makhacheva’s varied practice includes installation, performance and film. The exhibition borrows its title from a circus term used to describe the haphazard, unchoreographed act involving all performers, which often marks the grand finale. Within this content, at YARAT the artist presents an interactive multimedia installation exploring Azerbaijani contemporaneity, through newly commissioned works detailing the USSR Circus tradition and wider concepts of history making. Key reference points include the story of the Berberov family, who once lived in Baku with their pet lion, King I. Achieving fame across the Soviet Union following a movie role, the lion was then mistakenly shot dead by a policeman. The exhibition also draws inspiration from the 1967 Soviet Circus documentary ‘National Circus’, investigating the representation of Soviet republics through distinct performance groups such as Azerbaijan’s Nazirov gymnastic group, the Uzbek clown Akram Yusupov and the Tashkenbaev family of tightrope walkers. The Soviet circus was a censorship-free and even anarchic space, almost out of regime control. While being part of the cultural underground, it remained a form of mainstream entertainment showing the connection between freedom in circus space and postmodern theorist Susan Melrose’s concept of theatre depoloticization. Through its unpicking of fact and fiction around the shared histories, the exhibition furthers Makhacheva’s ongoing interrogation into the lasting tensions between tradition, modernity and cultural authenticity from the transitional period of the Soviet into the post-Soviet landscape, towards the post post-Soviet futures.
