"According my friend Amir, you must grasp the meaning of what your hand reaches. I guess that's what the exhibition is about. Although it is also about things that you want to reach, but can't or hardly can. I don't know who is right and how the mankind can better arrange itself, but I know that in spring, the grass will grow again, that I have a sister and that in winter, I will go to the North again, and there will be cold and abandoned again, and it will seem that none of this ever happened" — Violetta Bogdanova.

The opening of the exhibition was accompanied by a theatrical and poetic performance "LONG LIVE" (poems: Violetta Bogdanova/ idea: Abdi Iskakov / button accordion: Vadim Abramov).

Violetta Bogdanova is a Kazakhstani artist born in Petropavlovsk. She avoids specific ganres in her work. She writes poetry.
