PLANTS
19-30.5.2024
TUE-SUN 13.00-20.00
OPENING 19.5 // 16.00-20.00
Gallery space turned into an artificial sounding garden. AI art without the AI.
Clay, sound waves, and found objects grown into interactive electronic plants.
A series of pottery objects – plants - with sound devices and found materials integrated in them.
Sculptures as immortal artificial objects that are reminiscent of the organic world. They are commemorating the time when technology is relentlessly trying to replicate the mortals.
The sound reacts to light through sensors, which means that the audience can interact with the sculptures - making them musical instruments.

About the artists
Ksenia Voy Kheninen and Zherbin are an artistic duo. Marginalized artists without formal training in arts coming from two different fields and skillsets united by background, trash enthusiasm, and shared interest in cultural anthropology, pop-culture phenomena, and humanism. Plants is their first collaborative public exhibition to reinvent meanings of things by handling matters utilizing the benefits of their outsider status and lack of structural involvement in art scenes.
Zherbin is a noise artist, musician, builder of electronic and acoustic instruments, and a figure in the margins of culture.
Ksenia is an artist driven by interest in exploring people via random found objects and materials by transforming them into artefacts of visual and sensual value. Her approach stems from her background in fashion design, IT, and years of experiments with pottery and other expressive media.
