NADA House 2021

Two artists from Russia, Dagnini and Alexander Shchurenkov, are presenting a project, entitled Date with America, devoted to post-Soviet interpretation of the American Dream. That dream was never a rigid, clearly established construct—its outline and aura were constantly evolving. The site-specific installation created by the artists reflects, on the one hand, how the American Dream has been reduced to a collection of things after their metamorphosis into unremarkable everyday objects or even household trash and, on the other, it prompts us to ponder on the image of that dream, which can be bound up with loss and tragedy.
