Vladimir Potapov Day 10. Chronicles of isolation. @emmanuelbornstein It is my indoor. Sun or everything that I have on the ceiling)
Emmanuel Bornstein @potapov_vladimir_ Last night when I went to bed, I received a notification on my mobile phone: Jörn Kubicki has just passed away He was ill and recently infected with coronavirus. He was the partner of Klaus Wowereit, former mayor of Berlin. RIP Jörn Kubick
Chronicles of Isolation The works will be shown in chronological order, which will make it possible not only conceptually to preserve the dialogue of artists, but also allow the viewer to pay attention to the regional features of overcoming the problem that engulfed the whole world in 2020 and has not been resolved until now. The artists illustrated by painting everything that every person faced when suddenly being locked up: the growing tension due to isolation from social life, anxiety, procrastination, the search for new hobbies. The exhibition will also showcase the post-isolation works of Vladimir Potapov, completed in 2021, which deonstrate the artist’s reflection on the topic of isolation and the changes that have taken place this year. A continuation of the project will be an exhibition of Vladimir Potapov and Emmanuel Bornstein at the Berlin Crone Gallery in 2022.

pop/off/art gallery presents a new international project of the gallery artist Vladimir Potapov and the Franco-German artist Emmanuel Bornstein «Chronicles of Isolation». The exposition is based on a series of works created by artists during the first wave of the pandemic in Moscow and Berlin. Every day, starting from March 20, 2020, Potapov and Bornstein recorded on paper and canvas the objects around them, rare forays into the grocery store, scenes from everyday life, burdened with a constant stay at home. In conditions of isolation, the artists engaged in a dialogue on the network - they posted pictures of their paintings on Facebook and Instagram, adding comments and reactions to each other’s posts. “Our new way of life is dictated by certain circumstances. It has never been and will never be the same. It is important for us to live this time, to feel all his fears, despair and hopes. We will document our every day, we will do it in the way that we do best - painting. The online diary is a chronicle of isolation, immersed in domestic life, in inner experiences and comprehension of what is happening outside” – Vladimir Potapov. During the isolation period, Vladimir Potapov created 95 works – that is how many days the self-isolation regime lasted in Moscow. Emmanuel Bornstein ended his participation in the project earlier, as soon as the quarantine in Berlin and France ended. During this time, he wrote 52 works. All works of artists, made in isolation, will be presented in the exhibition.
