From May 28 to July 28 "EKATERINA" Cultural Foundation held Victor Alimpiev's first retrospective exhibition "Whose is this Exhalation?". The exhibition provided an overall insight into the artist's painting and the medium's relation to Alimpiev's videos. The show was presented as a kind of dialogue of genres, guiding the audience from painting to video and underscoring their inextricable connection in Alimpiev's oeuvre. A fully illustrated catalogue accompanied the exhibition with an essay by Massimiliano Gioni and conversation between the artist and Anatoly Osmolovsky.
