180 + 4 = Chicken Skin = House is not a Motel = 184. «180 m²» gallery. 2012

An exhibition by Alexander Khovrin, Alexey Larinov, Roza Po, Murat Shakhirov that presents work in different media, displaying different approaches to art practice. Throughout the exhibition the works appropriate daily life in different ways by using, reinterpreting and transforming ordinary mass produced objects.

Using painting video and installation the work proposes different approaches to the ideas of routine. In a playful manner they test the boundaries of daily reality, deconstructing and reinterpreting the function of objects. They use irony, humor, absurdity to trace a symbolic meaning of objects.

Sharing influences and ideas between artists, the exhibition shapes absurdity and playfulness. Imaginary worlds of fantasy and surrealistic illusion are juxtaposed with ironic commentary towards modernity, through a shared postmodern method of appropriation and allegorical distortion.
