Exhibition curated by Kollektiv Collective

From June 9 to July 7, Guts Gallery Project Space will host an exhibition ‘on the flip side was’, where Kollektiv team members Sasha Shevchenko and Pia Zeitzen will act as curators.

‘on the flip side was’ is a group exhibition of artists Johannes Bosisio, Malcolm Bradley, Sophie Lourdes Knight, Catinca Malaimare and Salvatore Pione, curated by Kollektiv Collective — Sasha Shevchenko (b. Moscow, Russia) and Pia Zeitzen (b. Düsseldorf, Germany).

“Contemplating the relationship between the front and the back, the clear and the blurred, this exhibition brings together works that conjure the uncanny feeling of having landed on the flipside. On the flip side was blurred emotion and dual creatures. At the back – of a space and an artwork – there was both comfort and unease. In the tautological gaps, the only way out is through.”— excerpt from the press release

Pia Zeitzen and Sasha Shevchenko formed a curatorial collective whilst undertaking an MFA in Curating at Goldsmiths University in 2019. Together, they developed a practice that allows them to explore theoretical and philosophical notions with the prospect of translating them into engaging exhibition concepts. Accordingly, their collaborative approach aims to transcribe abstract concepts and render them physical and accessible. Their curating is intrinsically and intuitively site-specific, with conceptual underpinnings being developed with and against a given exhibition space. Zeitzen and Shevchenko conceive of every project as experiments of curating as artistic expression. As such, they are particularly interested in how their practice may visualise and negotiate notions of performativity and potentiality.
