Coinciding with Whitechapel Gallery’s Rodney Graham exhibition, which includes his A1 Motorway Series, Michal Tkachenko opens her M40 Series at the Westminster Reference Library Exhibition Space from April 14 –May 3, 2011.
The M40 series emerged during regular road trips from her London home to Manchester, her husband’s childhood home. The idea surfaced that this was the contemporary landscape that many urbanites now exclusively experienced in shuttling between cities; the countryside and the motorway whizzing by a car window. Studies suggest we now spend 6 months of our lives in traffic jams.
The series also explores the idea of home being somewhere other than where you live. What happens when one begins to feel a foreigner in one’s own place of birth? Does home transplant or remain rooted? Travel or migration is an age-old practice, but in this global village with trans global marriages and families spread worldwide, the time spent commuting only adds to the confusion of where one feels they belong.
Please join me for my upcoming solo exhibition, M40, at the Westminster Reference Library Exhibition Space.
