DARIA IRINCHEEVA was born in 1987 in Leningrad (St. Petersburg) growing up in a post-Soviet Russia, a state of socio- economic dysfunction, instability, and disillusionment. Daria is a multidisciplinary artist, whose practice currently consists of working with sculpture, painting, video, textile and embroidery. Through such media, Irincheeva explores the processes of language, history-construction, memory-colonization, information-fossilization, temporal repetitions, and dead-ends in time. Irincheeva received her BFA with Honors from the School of Visual Arts, New York in 2013, and her Masters in Fine Arts from Columbia University, New York in 2018.
