Dark Horse Experiment and Blender Studios presents:
Jarring: The Russian Cookbook Project
Solo exhibition by Elizaveta Maltseva
Jarring: The Russian Cookbook Project is an ongoing investigation into culture, the domestic and otherness via the avenue of food. Using food and dining customs to talk about home and belonging, this exhibition explores gender and cultural performativity.
The project began with me working on a contemporary Russian cookbook and quickly expanded to looking at how and why I perform my Russian-Australian cis woman identity. What it means to me and all the roles and lines that are blurred between the domestic kitchen space and the artist’s practice space. The show is a pretty epic collection of characters and jarring motifs across 25 new works on paper and canvas.
