Death and the afterlife
Exhibition / Moscow, April 2009
Nicolas Malinowsky is a French artist who works as a graphic designer within the Ill-Studio, a Paris-based creative collective.
The show looks at the contemporary terms of heritage and transmission by building on a rather specific event. While browsing a second hand shop, the artist came across a wide-ranging ensemble of objects stemming from a deceased person. The original batch was largely made of books and vinyl records that reflected a pronounced interest in world culture and art. Over a certain period of time, Nicolas Malinowsky bought many of these objects without knowing that they all came from the same person. When he later found out, he realised these objects had much to say about this person’s life, passions and perhaps travels.
