Un Momento
Solo show of Daria Melnikova in Italy
Un Momento is the second solo show of Daria Melnikova ((b. in 1984, Latvia) at the eastcontemporary gallery in Milan, Italy. The show is an insight into one day of a fictional character Mr. Jazzy Sunday. Starting and rounding up a day with a cup of coffee, he is here, there, anywhere – leaving cartoon-like swoosh trails in endless city passages. Intensity of life is poured in a cup. A slight overdose and initial plan for a break turns into wave of anxiety. A sip is a thin line you walk trying to balance between daily stress and the desire for a carefree living.
Daria Melnikova’s practice and visual language are rooted in her love for architecture, design and art movements such as Constructivism or Suprematism.
Melnikova has recently exhibited at the Latvian National Museum of Art in Riga, Kunsthalle Kohta in Helsinki, Kim? Contemporary Art Center in Riga, Kunsthalle Bratislava and Kiasma in Helsinki. Her works are part of Zuzeum Art Centre in Riga, Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki, Latvian National Museum of Art in Riga and private collections.
Solo show Un Momento will be on view at the eastcontemporary gallery in Milan, Italy from March 7 till April 6.
