State
Museum of the Russian Academy of Arts, Saint
Petersburg
The State Museum of the Russian Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg presents
“ANGEL ORENSANZ, 20 YEARS IN RUSSIA”, a retrospective exhibition
that reflects 2 decades of his career and his intense relationship with
Russia’s culture and its history. Angel Orensanz presents a wide review of
drawings, sculptures, photographic material, installations and a multilayered
video portfolio. His pieces are always strong narratives, most often
site-specific, both in natural landscapes or public spaces; Angel's work is
always documented in photography and video.
The work of Angel Orensanz has been presented at Alexander Pushkin Museum and
The Museum of Modern Art in Moscow and at the Rumiantzev Palace and the
State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg. He has developed strong cooperation with
artists like Mikhail Chemiakin, Jury Barikyn and poet Andrei Voznessensky.
Orensanz has developed site-specific installations like his “Bridges for
Red Square” (1991), his “Circles in the River Neva” (2008) and
his “Field of Mind”
(
Moscow,
2007).
The artist was inducted as a member of the Russian Academy of Arts in 2009; and
has been awarded numerous distinctions from the Moscow City Council.
His exhibition has been included in the official program of the Spanish-Russian
Cultural Year 2011. “ORENSANZ, 20 YEARS IN RUSSIA” is an outstanding
example of the interest aroused by Russia in some Spanish Contemporary
artists.
