Documentation on the occasion of the Second Kiev Biennial “The School of Kyiv“ in the festival room of the National Pedagogical Dragomanov University in 2015.
In her work entitled “Performance,” Zhanna Kadyrova conceived a series of actions that proceeded to occupy cinemas, theaters, and concert halls of local cultural centers for a few short days. Normally, an auditorium fills up with people anticipating what will take place onstage. But in her series of performances, Kadyrova reverses the situation and the roles of audience members and in a game of double-deception. Led out of the foyer and through the building alone and blindfolded, the audience members find themselves standing onstage, before them a mute audience consisting of a potpourri of portraits. These images embody a community brought together on location from public and private collections as well as from the studios and collection of the artist herself. In their density and rich variation, they represent portraiture in the Kyiv region from the modern era to the present in terms of the societal spectrum they depict as well as with respect to local tendencies and aesthetics.
