Pavlov-Andreevich is one of the select few Eastern European names of his artistic generation who have achieved international critical acclaim. A Russian-born Brazilian performance artist, Pavlov-Andreevich explores the distance between a work of art and its audience, creating performances, films and site-specific installations as well as sculptures, guerrilla actions and long-durational works. He presents these pieces under the curatorship of Hans Ulrich Obrist, Klaus Biesenbach, and Maria Balshaw, amongst others.
His recent solo presentations have been exhibited at Palais de Tokyo (Paris), Colnaghi Gallery (London, with Marina Abramovic and Nico Vascellari), the 13th South American Biennale (Bienal do Mercosul, Porto Alegre) and the DESIGN Museum (London).
Other solo projects have been shown at Paradise Row Gallery (2008 and 2010, London), Deitch Projects (2009, NYC), Galeria Luciana Brito (2010, São Paulo), Galerie Stanislas Bourgain (2009, 2010, Paris), Faena Arts Center (2014, Buenos Aires), Künstlerhaus Wien (2016, Vienna), Winzavod Center for Contemporary Art (2016, Moscow), MAC USP, SESC Consolação (both 2017, São Paulo), and Gazelli Art House (2019, London).
Completing the 5th episode of his best known guerrilla work, The Foundling, at the Met Gala in NYC, Pavlov-Andreevich was arrested and put in jail (2017).
Pavlov-Andreevich’s works belong to various institutional (MAR, Rio de Janeiro, Blavatnik Family Foundation, London, and MMoMA, Moscow, amongst them) and many private collections globally.
“Fyodor’s art is capable of surprising us with ever new ways of seeing the world we live in.” Marina Abramovic
