ÖZIÑSHE — a group exhibition of Kazakh artists at Motto Paris. Curated by Yana Kotina and Vladislav Sludskiy, the one-room presentation offers a snapshot of Kazakhstan’s contemporary art now: painting, textiles, and lens-based works moving between oral tradition, fragile memory, and the push–pull of urban life and ideology. Sparked by the recent openings of the Almaty Museum of Arts and the Tselinny Center, the show links Paris and Almaty through direct, conversational juxtapositions rather than a single theme.
Books, voice, and miscellaneous musical instruments. In a performance somewhere between concert and intervention by working continuously with books found on site at Motto Berlin bookstore, Robert Blatt performs scores by the artist experimentally treating books as material and instrument.

ANATOMS SONORES
During the Cold War in the Soviet Union, bootleg records pressed on discarded X-rays from hospitals were circulating illegally under the name “bones records” or “music on ribs” as an act of cultural resistance. They contained music from the West, in particular rock ‘n’ roll and jazz, but also Russian folk tunes, considered by the authorities to be “low culture”.
The edition “Anatoms Sonores” was inspired by this unique episode in the history of music and merges two essential mediums in my artistic practice: photography and sound performance.
In 1997, analog photography led me to medical imagery, I established a bridge between the two techniques and started using X-ray film as a main support and pursued an exploration that has continued to evolve ever since. For this project, I used analog X-ray films from my own production,pressed with an extract from the performance “Microsillon X” specially conceived to challenge the microgrooves.
The edition of 250 Anatoms Sonores is composed of 20 images, printed in an edition of 12 unique prints with a wide range of variations, depending on the type of X-ray film (for veterinary or hospital use) the brand and the expiration date (ranging from 1997 to 2024). A further 10 records were pressed on blank X-ray films.
As part of Vasco Cesaretti’s sculpture installation at Motto Paris, we’re hosting a live concert by the artist himself on April 10, from 8 pm. Please join!
What is gelli printing? Gelli printing is a unique (monotype) printing process that uses a gel plate as a matrix and inks that dry slowly, most often acrylic paint. The uniqueness of this technique lies in its flexible matrix, which allows for highly accurate imprinting and endless possibilities for creating texture. You can even do photo transfers! The variety of surfaces you can print on is also broader—since the matrix is flexible, you can easily print on everyday objects like clothing. Gelli printing is also very inexpensive compared to other printing techniques. The plates can be made at home using only food-grade gelatin and glycerin. Once the matrix is damaged, you just need to melt it down to reuse it.
