«Archaeology of Consciousness» exhibition🇬🇧 EN

DaDim (Dasha Delone & Dima Goryachkin) and Vasilisa Delone, the artists featured in the «Archaeology of Consciousness» exhibition, explore the intersection of ancient archaeology, personal memory, and contemporary form. Living and working in Montenegro, DaDim uses clay to capture traces of time, human touch, and invented symbolism—crafting pieces that evoke unearthed artifacts. Vasilisa Delone expands this narrative through her background in illustration and design, bringing fairytale motifs, mythic symbolism, and reflections on feminine identity to life. Together, their works bridge timeless heritage and modern aesthetics.

Dasha and Dima have been working together for many years as the DaDim art group. Their projects have been exhibited, among other venues, at the State Museum of Oriental Art and at the Vadim Sidur and Mikhail Bulgakov museums in Moscow, at the Mark Rothko Art Centre in Daugavpils, as well as in New York and Thessaloniki.

Vasilisa Delone works at the crossroads of graphic design, book illustration and ceramics. She graduated from the National Institute of Design (2009) and the Moscow State University of Arts and Industry (Stroganov) (2010), after which she spent many years working in graphic design and art direction, taking part in Moscow’s city festivals and creating art installations and layouts for them.
Through the language of myth and magical narrative, she explores herself, her place and the world around her.

We invite you to an encounter with artefacts of time that slips away. The exhibition is open from Monday until Saturday (11.00 - 20.00)
