- Abstract
- Documents Meldibekov's second solo exhibition with Rossi & Rossi, comprising sculpture, photography, and installation examining how competing factions — former Communists, ex-KGB members, Islamist organizations, and nationalist movements — asserted authority after 1991 by manipulating Central Asia's visual symbols: renaming mountains, redesigning flags, and replacing Lenin statues with newly adopted regional heroes. Key works include Peaks of Lenin (2013) and Transformer (2013).
