Berlin Artist Tatiana Kligman's PUPAE Exhibition Opens at La Cotorra Gallery in Valencia
On 28 May, the exhibition by Berlin artist Tatiana Kligman, PUPAE, opened at the La Cotorra contemporary art gallery in Valencia. The 15 works, created specially for the exhibition, are dedicated to the experience of emigration.
An elegant evening reception at Editor Cabrerizo, 5, brought together Valencia's artists, critics, designers, and gallerists. The title of the exhibition, PUPAE, translates as "chrysalises" — the transitional stage in the development of butterflies.
Tatiana Kligman, artist: "At La Cotorra, I am showing the PUPAE series. However much we accumulate silt, cocoons, pseudopods, and antennas, we still keep changing. Some parts fall asleep, some parts finally peek out. We do not diminish over the course of life — we grow heavier, yes, but also larger. Living parts of childhood stretch within us, youth settles, and old age gradually ripens. It doesn't matter where our walls are, where our drawn-on hearts and curses were left behind — it's all already inside. We carry it all with us."
From 29 May, the exhibition is open to all lovers of contemporary art.
Take a look at how the opening unfolded.
