Oļa Vasiljeva has been named the exhibition “Time Tips” in the gallery “427” (30.07. – 28.08.2021). “A small-format exhibition in which the literary, social and cultural references inherent in Ola Vasilyeva’s artistic practice are ingeniously and conceptually precisely expanded,” it is stated in the grounds for the nomination. “Vasilyeva’s favorite uncoloured remnants of bygone industrial design, textile rags and much more in this installation come together for the majestic Roly-Poly figure,” explains Kim? Zane Onckule, Program Director of the Center for Contemporary Art.

The “cut” here at the same time becomes a reference to the cut of a particular garment, an image created by cutting, a plane that seems to separate some separate parts.
