After 4 years of activity on the Avenue Trudaine in the 9th arrondisement, the contemporary photographic gallery RussianTeaRoom is moving to a new space in the heart of the upper Marais as of September 2011, located 42 rue de Volta, Paris 3e.

Liza Fetissova will inaugurate the new premises with the exhibition FRACTAL, Shunsuke Ohno / Dmitry Sokolenko, from September 10 to October 29, 2011.

RussianTeaRoom has entrusted this event’s press relations to Communic’Art.

RussianTeaRoom, a place to redefine 21st century photography

Established in September 2007 by Liza Fetissova, RussianTeaRoom gallery regards itself as the union of a space and its contents, both inseparable. It suggests a redefinition of the role of photography in the 21st century, which has finally emancipated from painting, but, faced with the tension of progress, is still in search of itself.

While continuing to follow the work of the Russian artists who have accompanied the gallery since its creation, RussianTeaRoom wishes to offer a visibility to the hitherto unknown photography of transforming countries – Central Europe, Africa, Latin America.

This project will develop in the midst of a warm and hospitable atmosphere. A space of sharing, encounters and exchange among academic and artistic spheres, through partnerships between institutions, universities, foundations and curators.

Sept 10 – Oct 29, 2011
Inaugural exhibition « FRACTAL »
Shunsuke Ohno / Dmitry Sokolenko

RussianTeaRoom will inaugurate the new space with the exhibition FRACTAL, presenting the works of Japanese Shunsuke Ohno and Russian Dmitry Sokolenko, around the fundamental principle of photography, Fractality.

The two artists offer distinctive approaches of this principle: fractal and figurative for the former, semantic and abstract for the latter.
