"An Evening with Gulnara Kasmalieva and Murtabek Djumaliev" Talk
The Museum of Modern Art
This event has ended.
Based in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, and trained in both film and visual art, Gulnara Kasmalieva and Murtabek Djumaliev produce video installations that encapsulate everyday life in Central Asia. Shot along the ancient Silk Road connecting China and Kyrgyzstan with Western markets, the artists’ videos portray the resourcefulness that defines this mountainous, poverty-stricken region. In conjunction with Asia Art Week, this program includes their "Algorithm of Survival and Hope" (2005), along with other recent work. Their work has been exhibited at The Art Institute of Chicago (2007), the Venice and Singapore biennials, and Winkleman Gallery, New York.
