Interview with Georgy Mamedov, curator of Lingua Franca/Франк тили – Central Asia Pavilion – 54th International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia
The exhibition presents the works of contemporary artists from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan as well as a video-retrospective of Central Asian avant-garde. “Франка Тили – Foreign Affairs” examines lingua franca from the aspect of dominating / non-native language. Intercultural contact is established through the antithesis, We and They.
