I do (not) notice an elephant in the room, by Arkadiy Ivashkin
Russian artist Arkadiy Ivashkin, who left his country because he disagreed with Russia's invasion of Ukraine and has been living in Portugal, presents the exhibition I (don't) see an elephant in the room, which is part of the Cooperating Artists Programme of Árvore - Cooperativa de Atividades Artísticas. The expression "elephant in the room’" which exists in various cultures, refers to an obvious truth that everyone perceives but avoids naming. I (don't) notice an elephant in the room, by Arkadiy Ivashkin, transforms this metaphor into a spatial device for confrontation.
