Dasha Shishkin / hoo hoo hoo

L21

Gremi Ferrers, 25
Pasaje nave 4
Polígono Son Castelló
Palma de Mallorca, Spain




This show
features recent drawings by Dasha Shishkin. The bodies in her works dance,
enjoy, smoke, read… they stare at us.
Some have
eyes on the back, chest, butt and heels. They close them when they are tired.
It is
curious that we are not aware of the act of looking until someone looks at us. How
many possibilities are there in the distance between two points?
