eastcontemporary presents POOR BUT SEXY, a group exhibition curated by Sergey Kantsedal, featuring Nikita Kadan, Mila Panić, Ala Savashevich, Anastasia Sosunova, Dominika Olszowy, and Miroslav Tichý.
The exhibition takes its title from the eponymous book by Agata Pyzik (2014), which explores the hidden history of the East, analyzing its complex relationship with the West—ranging from artistic practices to subcultures, from orientalism to self-colonization.
The works on display span generations, artistic languages, and geographies, forming a time capsule that reflects a fragmented present. Each piece interacts with the others, creating a dialogue between experiences, genealogies, and cultural micro-histories, engaging in a dynamic exchange between objects, bodies, and dreams.
