The Garage Centre for Contemporary Culture presented the first exhibition of conceptual artist John Baldessari. Spanning over half a century, Baldessari expressed his ideas through an interplay of media such as painting, photography, video and cinema, books, lithography, objects and installations. The exhibition 1+1=1 presented a series of paintings created in the past two years, in which the artist continues to explore the tense relationships between image and text in art.<\/p>
The paintings offer a double interpretation of canonic artworks, divided into four interrelated series: Doubl\u0435 Vision, Double Feature, Double Bill and Double Play. In each series Baldessari reinterpreted famous artworks by Mane, Malevich, Gauguin, Duchamp, Warhol and other iconic artists.<\/p>
Architecture: Olga Treivas, Vera Odyn, Asya Baranova In each series Baldessari remakes the canonical works of Manet, Malevich, Gauguin, Duchamp, Warhol and other cult figures<\/p> <\/div><\/li> Baldessari states: «I like to create new meaning.
