Artist
Zhanna Gladko
– in 2003–2008 the artist was studying at the Belarusian State Academy of Arts, the Department of Easel Graphics. Since 2010, she has been involved in professional activities, also taking part in numerous exhibitions. All the artist’s works, through the strategy of constructing ambivalent images, are aimed at rethinking/deconstructing extensive concepts, such as the system of art and society, religion and culture, history and memory, gender policy, the analysis of the role of contemporary museum, the subject of identity crisis, etc. At the same time, Zhanna Gladko deliberately profanes and at the same time actualizes/enhances the above-mentioned issues by exploring them through her private experience.
