About the Artist

Artist and independent curator, lives and works in Moscow. Graduate of the Belgorod State Institute of Arts and Culture with a degree in graphic design (2015), the Institute of Contemporary Art “Baza” (2019) and a pedagogical master’s degree from HSE ART AND DESIGN SCHOOL (2021). Initiator of the Microbiennale of Horizontal Initiatives. The artist’s works are in the collections of the Winzavod Center for Contemporary Art and private collections. Viktor Zhdanov presents a “lyrical hero” who builds his artistic practice as a way of escaping from the real world, unjust and cruel, into a fictional world created by the power of art. The art works present various methods of such escape: automatic writing, research into personal folklore (repeating images and plots with personal meaning), the formation of fictitious languages and rituals. Solo shows were held in Vadim Sidur Museum (2023, Moscow), Museum Metenkov House (2023, Yekaterinburg), Alisa gallery (2022, Moscow)
