in kind exchange + the stroke of a pen | ifa gallery | brussels
fellow artist from Shanghai days, sergey balovin brings his talent and energy to brussels this afternoon for an experimental happening presented as part of THE STROKE OF A PEN group exhibition during it’s last week at ifa gallery.
sergey has spent the last few years traveling around the world engrossed in his project, IN KIND EXCHANGE.
in a commitment to sustain all his daily needs while strictly avoiding monetary transactions, he has been able to survive exclusively through goods exchanged with people that are excited to trade tangible, useful things to him for beautiful, customized portraits he makes on site.
sergey was trained classically as a painter in russia before setting out on the path he navigates now, as an artist with no use for a monetary system.
I recommend visiting if you are in Brussels then.
THE STROKE OF A PEN | vernissage in image
thank you so much to everyone that made it to the opening night of THE STROKE OF A PEN this past weekend at ifa gallery and joined to help celebrate the show.
this group exhibition is a collection of multi-disciplinary work and will be running from 21 february – 15 march at ifa gallery, brussels. each work is a separate response to events surrounding the recent charlie hebdo attacks and explores the theme of illustration: it’s power, it’s purposes and it’s limits.
images from the installation and vernissage are below.
