Xenia Crushova May 2026

| Core Theme | Description | |------------|-------------| | Memory & Ephemerality | Explores how personal and collective memories dissolve and re‑form through objects, sound, and light. | | Borderlands | Investigates the fluid spaces between nations, languages, and identities, often using bilingual text and transnational collaborations. | | Technological Mediation | Examines how digital platforms both connect and isolate people, employing AR, VR, and AI‑generated imagery. | | Social Resilience | Centers community narratives—particularly those of refugees, LGBTQ + individuals, and climate‑displaced populations—in participatory installations. |

Xenia’s practice is deliberately interdisciplinary. She treats each medium—painting, sculpture, sound, code, textile—as a “dialect” that together constructs a richer narrative. xenia crushova

A mixed‑media installation consisting of frozen glass panels etched with delicate botanical drawings. The panels slowly melted during gallery hours, symbolizing the tension between preservation and decay. Viewers could write personal memories on the glass with water‑based ink, which later became part of the melting process. | Core Theme | Description | |------------|-------------| |
