Vladislav Markov at The Address

'Blood thinner, low-dose aspirin, best painkillers for kids'

Vladislav Markov

November 15, 2024 - January 26, 2025

The Address is pleased to present the solo exhibition ‘blood thinner, low-dose aspirin, best pain killers for kids’ by the artist Vladislav Markov, displayed in the gallery spaces in Brescia.

For the occasion, the artist will show a series of unpublished works such as paintings, sculptures and sound installations, created over the last year between his New York studio and a month of residency in the gallery. 

Vladislav Markov works in immersive installation, sculpture, and painting, rendering objects in an unfamiliar ontological state to challenge the viewer’s perception. His procedural gestures result in an altered version of a readymade by shifting its state from digital to physical and back again. Markov’s paintings reference this complex process of dissociation by obscuring quotidian subjects in a process of digitally re-creating them from low-fidelity photogrammetry scans, transposing the viewer into a liminal mental space where the distance from perception to recognition becomes impossible to traverse

Markov holds a BFA from Parsons School of Design and an MFA from Cornell University. Recent solo exhibitions include Zero advice given..., Artissima, Turin (2023), Sorry to inform you, NADA House, New York, Eight Feet Under, Management, New York (2022), Vladislav Markov (Solo), M23, New York (2020), Extra Medium, Spazio ORR, Brescia.
