19.01 – 10.03.2019
Opening: 18.01.2019, 18.30 Uhr

The Kunstverein Göttingen's 2019 program opens with a solo show by artist Sofia Duchovny. The title of the exhibition "Private Viewing" – supported by the theatrically framed view into the artist's studio – suggests exclusivity, but is parodied by the public nature of an exhibition as such. Duchovny's works are shaped by the ambivalence of private and public, between that which is shown and that which should be shown, between intimacy and authenticity. The artist moves between these two poles with humor and a disarming sense of emotionality.

SOFIA DUCHOVNY (*1988 in Moscow) lives and works in Berlin. She finished her studies in 2014 at the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main as master student of Monika Baer. In 2016, she participated in the Berlin Program for Artists. Her work has been exhibited at Künstlerhaus Bremen (2018), Kunstverein Hannover (2017), Between Bridges (2017) and Kunstverein Braunschweig (2017), amongst others. In 2016 she undertook a residency at HIAP in Helsinki, Finland. Her exhibition at Kunstverein Göttingen is the artist's first institutional solo show, on the occasion of which an artist book will be published.
