Erbossyn Meldibekov

  • Through drawing, installation, painting, photography, and video, Erbossyn Meldibekov’s practice examines architecture, monumentality, and value systems in the public domain. Meldibekov’s work critiques the role of visual culture in the dissemination of power in Post-Soviet Central Asia, following the region’s independence from Russian imperialism in 1991. His practice reveals the region’s complex position, which exists at the intersection of Stalin’s totalitarian regime, the shadow of its epic past, and the ongoing legacy of The Great Game, implicating neighboring Afghanistan’s historical and current role in the stability of the region.
