Notes


"The work is about my need to go dancing during lockdown" - Anna Choutova, 2021

Coming from an Eastern European background, then thrown into a Westernised upbringing in the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union, Anna’s practice functions as a form of rose-tinted voyeurism into an idealised Western culture. The culture she was born into both fetishizes and demonizes American consumer culture - Anna’s practice reflects this duality. She approaches food, consumerism and addiction with a contemporary Pop Art vernacular.. She has put herself between Malevich and McCarthy and is on a mission to marry destitute bleakness with inconceivable excess in her practice.

Anna is the founder of Bad Art Presents. Bad Art Presents is a curatorial project aiming to challenge the contemporary art world through transgressive exhibitions that offer a different way of interacting with art. The shows are a reaction & protest against the white-walled gallery experience.

Anna Choutova (b.1993 Stockholm) is a visual artist and curator working in London, she is applying for the Bath Spa Fellowship
