Paradise Row proudly presents The Adventures of Robbing Good, the first major London show of leading Russian contemporary artist Gosha Ostretsov. Employing narrative installation, performance, painting and sculpture, Ostretsov introduces a new hero for our troubled times - Robbing Good - a creation informed by the history, theory and associated art and design of the anarchist, socialist and Marxist movements of the last century and a half.
Gosha Ostretsov is one of Russia's leading contemporary artists. Since the late 1990's Ostretsov has been working on The New Government project, a parodic gesamtkunstwerk on the nature of power and despotism in post-Soviet Russia and, by extension in the world at large.
Ostretsov will be representing Russia as part of a curated group show in the Russian pavilion at the 53rd Venice Biennale, 2009.
