Referring to the geopolitical definition, 𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘺 𝘻𝘰𝘯𝘦 is a blurry area that has escaped state control, between peace and war, full of uncertainty and ambiguity, assemblage and ruins.
Alina Izmailova use ceramics and glanage to develop her practice as a digestion of places, experiences and materialities : the Loire Valley’s castle, the Archaelogical Museum on the island of Lipary in Sicily, Phaistos Disc from the Minoan culture of Bronze Age, current colonial wars, disciplinary societies… Baked in the 𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘥’𝘈𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘦𝘯 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘭, works in terracota stand as silent witnesses, testaments, container of absences, mass graves or marked bodies by cuts, holes, bullets in an anonymous office, 𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘦 aesthetic, a floating routine, a shiny gray plexiglass as a 𝘴𝘰𝘤𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘴 𝘷𝘪𝘦. Many of Izmailova’s works draw attention to testaments of stories in the non-repaired or non-restored found objects as she was singing “𝘠𝘖𝘜 𝘈𝘙𝘌 𝘉𝘌𝘈𝘜𝘛𝘐𝘍𝘜𝘓 𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘞𝘈𝘠 𝘠𝘖𝘜 𝘈𝘙𝘌… 𝘉𝘜𝘛 𝘕𝘖𝘛 𝘈𝘚 𝘈 𝘞𝘐𝘓𝘓 𝘛𝘖 𝘊𝘖𝘕𝘛𝘙𝘐𝘉𝘜𝘛𝘌 𝘛𝘖 𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘊𝘈𝘙𝘌 𝘛𝘙𝘌𝘕𝘋 𝘐𝘕 𝘊𝘖𝘕𝘛𝘌𝘔𝘗𝘖𝘙𝘈𝘙𝘠 𝘈𝘙𝘛 𝘚𝘗𝘈𝘊𝘌𝘚 𝘉𝘌𝘊𝘈𝘜𝘚𝘌 𝘏𝘖𝘞 𝘊𝘖𝘜𝘓𝘋 𝘞𝘌 𝘗𝘙𝘖𝘔𝘖𝘛𝘌 𝘊𝘈𝘙𝘌 𝘈𝘕𝘋 𝘈𝘛 𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘚𝘈𝘔𝘌 𝘛𝘐𝘔𝘌 𝘓𝘐𝘝𝘌 𝘐𝘕 𝘋𝘐𝘚𝘊𝘐𝘗𝘓𝘐𝘕𝘈𝘙𝘠 ‘𝘕 𝘊𝘖𝘓𝘖𝘕𝘐𝘈𝘓 𝘚𝘠𝘚𝘛𝘌𝘔𝘚?»
𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘺 𝘻𝘰𝘯𝘦 is a work on indifference, passivity marked by non-glazed ceramics often suggesting the shape of a vase, a naked body in flat anatomical section, or a resting wheel that has abandoned its cart, and overall, something bold to sculpt the rest by the exhibition of peripheries, deflated and low forms. As a sculptor, Alina Izmailova does everything wrong, everything to trouble notions of 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘦, work, productivity and norms.
She’s still waiting for another statue to collapse.
