Through a collection of works by seventeen international artists, the exhibition A COOL BREEZE exposes new possibilities of spatial depiction of a figure in contemporary art. The main theme is a new concept of the classical sculptural theme – the human body – which is increasingly being processed in an unusual way and using non-traditional materials. The exhibition is trying to confront the past with the present to bring to light the fundamental shifts in contemporary sculpture.

Melik Ohanian presents there Girls of Chilwell - Suspended Acting (2014), a series of three human scale sculptures based on photography archives from First World War, describing three working scenes at Shell Filling Factory in Chilwell, England.
