The project Olga Chernysheva Dream Street, the worldwide famous artist’s first major exhibition in Russia held in GES-2 House of Culture, reveals the symbolic world of the artist, presented from the perspective of an observer who captures life through video and photography. Resonating with Chekhov’s The Steppe, the exhibition presents an open space without linear routes or definitive meanings, where the steppe becomes a metaphor for boundless inner experience in which the rational is not separated from the imagined.

The exhibition includes more than two hundred artworks by Chernysheva, including those created specifically for the V–A–C Foundation and the GES-2 House of Culture.

Olga Chernysheva: «The Dream Street project is about dreams as both nocturnal visions and aspirations, about the wonderment before what seems familiar on the other side of sleep. Prospero, the character from Shakespeare’s The Tempest, says: ‘We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep.’ In an artistic space, there are different rules: here, form becomes content, and rhythms and tonalities are more significant than facts. The journey along Dream Street does not occur in time. It is more akin to immersion in a suspended moment.».
