Temporary Bookshop XIV
Daria Khozhai
24 February – 12 March 2023

Looiersgracht 60 is pleased to announce its 14th Temporary Bookshop for the exhibition ‘Pravda’. ‘Pravda’, a solo-presentation by interdisciplinary artist and architect, Daria Khozhai, is a deeply personal translation of the public experience of loss and collective trauma - an intimate rumination on the uncertainties of our current times and our future. ‘Pravda’, consists of a 1:1 scale model of her childhood room in Kyiv. The walls of the installation are constructed from countless layers of hand-laid newspapers dated from 1991, the year of the collapse of the Soviet Union and the re-establishment of Ukraine's state independence.

Looiersgracht 60’s bookshop presents a collection of relevant titles in conjunction with each exhibition. For those who wish to further explore the exhibition’s key concerns, a thoughtful selection of titles will be available for purchase during the exhibition. The list of titles is available below.

- Jill Bennett : ‘Empathic Vision: Affect, Trauma, and Contemporary Art’
