Slava and the North

February 20 - March 29, 2026

Curated by Vsevolod Saplin

Artist Nastya Miro and artist Vsevolod Saplin, working together as part of the creative collective Platform 112, present the exhibition Slava and the North, hosted by the Ekaterina Cultural Foundation, with the support of Artzip Gallery.

Against the backdrop of the harsh yet magical landscapes of the Arctic, and artifacts of the proud and heroic exploration of the Far North, the artists tell a story through diverse artistic forms - one that can be described as a "return home." The exhibition, comprising paintings, installations, videos, audio recordings, and an art object, is divided into several sections that offer viewers different scenarios of this nostalgic journey.

The exhibition by the creative collective Platform 112 features paintings by artist Nastya Miro, paintings by artist Vsevolod Saplin, the video performance Slava and the North, created by Platform 112 in collaboration with the Fluorite theatre group from the Arctic settlement of Amderma; the video The Goal Has Already Been, produced in collaboration with video artist Andrey Zhilin; music by composers Mikhail Myasoyedov and Eleonora Myasoyedova; artifacts and archival materials from Amderma; and the art object The Wishing Spinning Top, created in collaboration with Sergey Nikolashin and Levon Kayfajyan, first presented by Artzip Gallery at the Cosmoscow Contemporary Art Fair in 2025.
