The Runaway Fingers @ Pushkin House, Bloomsbury

Liz Sergeant is participating in 'The Runaway Fingers', a group show at Pushkin House, Bloomsbury, London. Seven Russian and non-Russian visual artists based in the UK interpret the imaginative world of little-known Ukranian writer, Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky (1887-1950), using contemporary art language. The show is a response in a variety of media, including paintings, photography, video and interactive installations, to three remarkable short stories from Krzhizhanovsky’s Seven Stories (translated into English by Joanne Turnbull) - “Runaway Fingers”(1922), “Quadraturin”(1926), and “The Unbitten Elbow”(1927). Adam Thirlwell sums up his style: 'Krzhizhanovsky wrote stories where people invent time machines or drift onto a branch line to a republic of dreams. In other words, the fantastic is the genre in which Krzhizhanovsky worked.'
