About

My name is Maari (Maria) Mednikova, I was born in Stavropol, Russia, and now am based in Moscow. I am a young artist and a lecturer in British Higher School of Art and Design, from which I graduated in 2019. The most recent exhibitions I participated in were ‘Soup’ (selected exhibition of BA Fine Art Graduates in the frame of the VIII International Moscow Biennale of Contemporary art, 2019) and ‘Ecological art’ (Togliatti, Russia, 2019). I was awarded BHSAD BA Graduate Fellowship Award 2019-2020, participation in Weekend Faculty with Susan Schuppli by Garage Museum (2019) and a degree of a laureate of an all-Russian competition ‘Development Genre-2019’. Through my art practice, I explore the aesthetic of ‘planetary dysphoria’ (Emily Apter), observe and critic the nowadays notion of the human as a subject being ‘more than mere nature and more than mere machine’.
