PORTFOLIO REVIEW

Portfolio Review

With artist and photographer Roman Hodirev

In recent years, I have increasingly been asked to discuss artists’ projects, series and visual research. After numerous exhibitions and personal projects, and years of working with contemporary art, photography, video art and experimental optics, I decided to offer individual portfolio reviews.

This is neither a rating of photographs nor an academic critique. It is a shared exploration of your artistic language.

I am interested in working with people who are seeking their own voice: photographers, artists, video artists, researchers of the visual environment, and anyone who feels they are in transition between documentary practice, art and personal expression.

During a review, we can discuss:

— personal style and visual language
— the artistic coherence of a series
— engagement with contemporary art and its context
— a project’s exhibition potential
— the narrative structure of a portfolio
— accompanying texts and artist statements
— ways to strengthen your artistic expression
— techniques, optics and visual experiments
— finding your own subject and method

My experience includes exhibitions and festivals in Russia, Italy, China and Latvia, at or with institutions and events including Erarta Museum of Contemporary Art, Cosmoscow, Art Russia Fair, Casoria Contemporary Art Museum, PARAZIT, Okhra Gallery, the Sergey Kuryokhin Centre for Contemporary Art and others.

I am especially drawn to projects involving:
— liminality
— memory and states of being
— contemporary portraiture
— experimental photography
— video art
— visual poetry
— documentary practice and its deconstruction

Format:
— online or in person
— individual sessions
— duration agreed separately
