Dance As You Wrestle at Cell Project Space

Dance As You Wrestle is the first major presentation of works by artists Agnė Jokšė and Anastasia Sosunova in the UK.

In the exhibition, dancing while wrestling acts as a counter-weight to the ‘apocalypse’ of the present day. You can expect to see newly-commissioned site-specific installations, including etchings and sculptures by Sosunova that incorporate copper and polluted water.

Jokšė, in parallel, presents new and modified moving images and feature footage of herself and her family to depict Lithuanian diaspora settled in the UK. Through a queer perspective, both artists consider intergenerational emotional bonds that reflect on socio-political changes following the Soviet Union’s dissolution.
