FAMILY AFFAIR: Sergei Isupov, Kadri Pärnamets, & Roosi Isupov

Family Affair: Sergei Isupov, Kadri Pärnamets, & Roosi Isupov

Apr 25–June 7, 2015
Ferrin Contemporary
1315 MASS MoCA Way, North Adams, MA

FAMILY AFFAIR is a show of porcelain work by the three members of Isupov-Pärnamets family. Five-year-old Roosi Isupov and her parents, Sergei Isupov and Kadri Pärnamets, spend half their year in Estonia and half in the US. They speak Russian, Estonian, English, and a visual language rich with complex imagery. Their work, spoken in a universal language of art, reveals courageous inquiries into what it is to be human — intense explorations of self, relationship, and family. This is a show of their most recent work  produced during the last seven months at Project Art in Cummington, MA, USA.

Sergei Isupov and Kadri Pärnamets are represented by Ferrin Contemporary.
