Koshlyakov, based mainly in Moscow, represented Russia in the Sao Paulo and Venice biennials, in 2002 and 2003, respectively. The convention is organized by SMPTE, in collaboration with Venice Biennial. In just over two years, his work has been seen in several high-profile Asian-themed group shows--including "Cities on the Move" and "Inside Out: New Chinese Art"--as well as at the Basel art fair and the most recent Sydney and Venice biennials. |
