VIDEO: Artist Aidan Salakhova on the Changing Roles for Women in Modern Russia

In the Russian art world, Aidan Salakhova is a star. As a gallerist, she founded Moscow's Aidan Gallery, while as an artist she has showed at the Venice Biennale, albeit not without controversy, and is known for work that tackles issues of gender, often via metaphoric uses of material. Now, she has been honored with a selection of her work — most of it made in the last three years — at the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, titled "Fascinans and Tremendum," and ARTINFO's Vanessa Yurkevich caught up with her about the show.
