Alice Huelice "self-art" Automatic translate

"Self-art" is art through oneself, on oneself, in oneself.

Once I asked my viewers on social networks: what should I say what I do? One girl said it was "self-art." Since then, I have been referring to almost all of my work with this term, especially those that can be worn on oneself. Dressing endlessly in my work, conducting self-made rituals, I realized that these intuitive actions are necessary for me. Close physical contact with each work is important to me, it is important to feel our connection, to understand that they are only mine, that they are me. The inextricable link between the work and the creator. The body as a gallery, conductor, or in itself, as an object of art.

alice hualice - creative alter ego of the artist Alisa Gorshenina.

The artist’s images refer to folklore, Russian traditions and Ural tales, but nevertheless are the fruit of the artist’s intuition and personal mythology. Alice’s childhood passed in the small village of Yakshin, Sverdlovsk Region. Carols, mummers, masks, childhood memories are fraught with textile objects of the artist.

Recently, a personal exhibition of Alice was held in Yakshin with the support of the Ural branch of the GSCI. In Nizhny Tagil, the artist wants to open her HUA museum. Native images from childhood acquire outlandish forms of big-eyed kokoshniks, fancy textile objects, weightless lace or, conversely, voluminous hypertrophic masks.

In 2019, Alice received a grant for artists working in the field of contemporary art at the Garage Museum. Earlier this year, she entered the long list of the Kandinsky Prize. The artist is a regular participant in the projects of the Ural branch of the State Center for Contemporary Arts (Bazhov-fest - 2016 and 2018), the 4th Ural Industrial Biennale, etc.). Participant in the Triennial of Russian Contemporary Art 2017. In 2018, the first personal exhibition of Alice in Moscow “Ural Skin” (VDNH) was held. At the moment, exhibition geography has more than a dozen cities, including Kiev, Krasnodar, Moscow, Perm, Saratov, Yekaterinburg, Nizhny Novgorod and Los Angeles. In 2018, the artist made an exhibition at the Sondre Green residence for artists working with textiles in Norway.

Photos with Alice’s images were posted by Harper’s Bazar.

The artist was told by NBC, Blueprint, Garage, TheVillage, Wonderzine and many others.
