Exhibition summary

ShuShu Sieberns' exhibition 'Young Human' sensitively explores the intersection of queer identity and traditional Russian family values, focusing on the artist's personal journey and the nuances of intergenerational love and belonging.

Curatorial context

The exhibition 'Young Human' by artist ShuShu Sieberns delves into the complex relationship between queer identity and traditional Russian family values, particularly exploring the artist's personal experience with her grandmother and partner. The title, a translation of 'Molodoy Chelovek,' highlights an ambiguity in interpretation between Sieberns' non-binary partner and her grandmother, serving as a sensitive reflection on queerness, intergenerational love, and belonging. Sieberns, a multidisciplinary artist working with poetry, film, and performance, uses her German-Russian heritage as a backdrop to an introspective exploration of identity formation in a globalized world. For 'Young Human,' she recreates the familiar atmosphere of her grandmother's home, employing a multimedia approach to convey her ideas and personal journey. Foam 3h, the project space where this exhibition is presented, invites recently graduated artists to showcase their first solo museum exhibitions, challenging them to experiment and push the boundaries of photography. Sieberns, a graduate of the VAV Moving Image department at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy, has a practice centered on interhuman connections. Her graduation work 'Young Human' was recognized with a nomination for the Sprouts Young Talent award and shown at Eye Film Cinema. Her experience includes performances at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and exhibitions in NEVERNEVERLAND, alongside creating theatre projects.
