RAGE. Nadya Tolokonnikova - Pussy Riot

Exhibiton

21.06. - 21.10.2024
OK Linz, OK-Platz 1, 4020 Linz

Nadya Tolokonnikova, artist and founder of the feminist collective Pussy Riot, is persecuted in Russia for her conceptual performances and her artistic protest against the Putin regime. Her performance Punk Prayer in the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow, which was named one of the most important works of art of the 21st century by The Guardian, ended with her and her colleagues being imprisoned in a labor camp for "hooliganism motivated by religious hatred".
The OK is bringing Nadya Tolokonnikova's art to the museum. For the first time, her haunting works, which deal with resistance, repression and patriarchy, will be on display in Europe. Her work includes objects as well as installation and performance works in which she processes, among other things, her traumatic experiences during her life under Putin's regime. From a state of fear and repression, she developed a visual language that rebels against moral and political realities: anarchistic, radical and at the same time touching.
