Anna Frants
“Made in Ancient Greece” is a series of freestanding video sculptures that visually play with the juxtaposition of form and function in traditional vessels. From their historical use by early civilizations to modern adaptations, vessels combine visual elements with utilization. Anna Frants’ work plays with vessels as subject matter, acknowledging and finding personality in plaster bodies. This series has shown internationally and last month, a selection of the pieces were acquired by The Cooper Hewitt Museum. Anna Frants is the co-founder of NCCA and The St Petersburg Art Project. She is the founder and curator of Russia largest new media festival, “Cyberfest”, which is held annually at The Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg. In 2009, her art was included in exhibits worldwide, including The St Petersburg Biennial and The Moscow Biennial.
