STUDIO INTERNATIONAL | 24 February 2018

ANNKA KULTYS GALLERY

Lisa Moravec has written a review of Virtual Normality – Women Net Artists 2.0, a group show Museum der bildenden Künste in Leipzig that includes the works of Molly Soda and Signe Pierce. Describing Soda’s contribution to the exhibition, Moravec writes: “Molly Soda’s sound-video installations show her in her private spaces, acting in a casual manner in front of her virtual audience. In That’s Me in the Corner (2017), she sings along with pop music numbers for about 30 minutes. We can see that the live audience on Instagram is watching her, but whether shewatches the audience, is not clear as she continues to look straight ahead, smiling from time to time.” To read the full review, click here.

WHITE HOT | 7 February 2018

ANNKA KULTYS GALLERY

White Hot Magazine of Contemporary Art writer Karen Moe has written a full round-up of Mexican art fairs Zona Maco and Material. Specifically, she mentions AKG’s booth at Material: “In a correspondingly aesthetic frolic, Dominic Dispirito of London’s Annka Kultys Gallery used a new fangled 3-D pen to build a flower garden that is reminiscent of one of Matisse’s charming bouquets. An electric blue blob that is maybe a melting Popsicle then overtakes the whole pretty thing.” To read the full review, click here.

FAD | 4 February 2018

ANNKA KULTYS GALLERY

FAD Magazine has listed Cacotopia 02, the current group show at Annka Kultys Gallery, as one of the top 7 art exhibitions to see in London right now.  The author, Tabish Khan, writes: “This impressive and labour intensive exhibition returns with a new artist every week during the six week run. My visit coincided with Hugo Servanin’s classical sculptures that allow water to seep into them and this distorts their shape over time. But the beauty of the show is visitors will have a different experience to mine.” Also on view as part of the show are Yarli Allison, Michal Plata, Bob Bicknell-Knight and Dominic Dispirito.

CEYSSON & BENETIERE | 13 January 2018

ANNKA KULTYS GALLERY

Sherman Sam’s first solo show in Luxembourg opens today at Ceysson &  Benetiere. Entitled Nightclubbing after the eponymous 1981 Grace Jones album, the exhibition includes a selection of Sam’s abstract, ‘assembled’ paintings. “Abstraction can be speculative; it can be uncertain, as life is; it is open to possibility (of interpretations), as life can be,” Sam explains. “It is not a closed form, as some conclude it is. It is not symbolic, least not the kind I am thinking of. That is it can pose or embody flux – open questions in ways that representation cannot.” Nightclubbing will remain on view through 03 March.

DATEAGLE ART | 14 December 2017

ANNKA KULTYS GALLERY

Generic Jungle, Olga Fedorova’s first solo exhibition at Annka Kultys Gallery, has been reviewed by Rodrigo Carlon for Dateagle Art. Carlon writes that by using a lenticular printing method, “Fedorova creates a screen-like effect on a non-electric, non-digital surface. This blurs the boundaries between the digital and physical realms. The digital and the ‘real’ or empirical become one and the same.” To read the full review, click here.

ANNKA KULTYS GALLERY

Dominic Dispirito’s work in the 2017 Slade School of Fine Art MFA Degree Show has been listed in Elephant Magazine’s round-up of top highlights from the show.

Ladygunn has just interviewed Molly Soda in anticipation of her upcoming solo show at Annka Kultys Gallery. The author writes: “Despite the never ending sounds and voices of so many people in the digital stratosphere Molly has made it to the frontier lines of that world for her engaging and deeply personal work that includes explores self-identity and self depreciation, feminism, culture, and perversion. From her uninhibited  selfies, her raw emotions and her uncategorizable take on the modern world, with Molly Soda everything she puts out is a bit surprising, a bit alarming and a bit real.” To read the full article, click here.

ANNKA KULTYS GALLERY

Molly Soda has been interviewed by Kayla Unnerstall for Bullett Magazine about the release of her most recent zine, I don’t want you to miss me. Describing the evolution of her practice, Soda says: “I started thinking about websites as art and videos as art and using the Internet as a tool to get my work out there and using it as a medium to make work on instead of having to make a print, painting or a physical piece. I think I’ve evolved in that way that I’m not separating my real life practice from my online art practice anymore. It’s all melded into one thing.” You can find the full interview here.
