Alexander Ponomarev: Sea Stories

Calvert22 Shoreditch, 6 October – 21 November 2010

Sea Stories is the first UK solo exhibition by highly regarded Russian artist Alexander Ponomarev (b. 1957).

Drawing upon a background in nautical engineering and an early career as a submariner, Ponomarev uses his Sea voyages as a starting point to explore relationships between illusion and reality, technology and art, mythology and documentary as a way of understanding the shifting tides of personal and cultural history which are particularly relevant to a contemporary Russian experience.
