Prospecting for Silver

Andrei Dureika 2000
Wall painting, 879 x 922 x 369 cm, white black light pigment, black light lamps

Selected events

This project by Andrei Dureiko was implemented as part of the exhibition "New Art of Belarus" at the Center for Contemporary Art "Ujazdowski Castle" (Warsaw). For the artist, the context and the place itself played an important role - the basements of the "Castle", a former warehouse, a treasury (the image of a dungeon, which is so close to everything "new Belarusian"). A dark room with semicircular vaults, the upper part of which is covered with stars. The objects are painted with white paint that glows, "reacting" to black light lamps. The artist expressively "aggravated" the image of the dungeon with the help of darkness and symbolic solutions. The artist found a metaphor that became key to this project in a letter from his friend, Anton Slyunchenko, in which he quoted Derek Jarman's "Caravaggio": "Stars are the poor man's diamonds. The rich hide their treasures in chests because they cannot compare them with the treasures of God."
