The autumn of 2014 was intense and teeming with good news for Slavs and Tatars. As October is coming to an end, two critically acclaimed solo shows in Europe (Kunsthalle Zurich) and US (Dallas Museum of Art) are soon ending as well. Both feature new series of works: “Mirrors for Princes” in Zurich and “Love Letters” in Texas. The “Love Letters” series – a set of 10 woolen carpets each telling a different story of Eastern alphabet’s sounds and letters lost throughout history – is further discussed in collective’s new artist book printed by Arsenal Gallery (Białystok) under the evocative title of “Naughty Nasals”. And last but not least – an exciting climax of October’s endeavours: the Outset Frieze Art Fair Fund chose “Love Letters (No. 7)” to be acquired for Tate, which was widely-commented by press (read more here, here and here). It will be the first piece by Slavs and Tatars to be included in this prestigious collection.
