New Work
25 February - 19 June, 2011

Media and genres collide and merge in the work of Russian artist Anna Parkina, an intrepid explorer of the dynamics of perception and history. Using a visual language that sometimes recalls the early-20th-century Soviet avant-garde but is very much her own, Parkina's works on paper — the crux of her SFMOMA exhibition — draw on mass-culture imagery to reflect on the changes in Moscow since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Parkina's art renders a society in flux, where careers, fortunes, and worlds are made and destroyed every day
