俄罗斯艺术家朱莉娅·温特选择将“现在的过去”作为北京个展的主题，体现了她处理多个现实的方式，即在作品中将这些现实同时组合到一起。有时她会采用旧照片，然后在上面放上当代的东西或是另一层图像，从而呈现全新的现实。而这也与俄罗斯的日常生活有关，俄罗斯生活中经常是多个现实同时并存。同时，这也体现了我们在现实生活中处理大量信息的方式，那就是将这些信息过滤、重组，以获得真正的理解，并探寻某种真理。 温特的装置艺术、绘画、摄影集成艺术作品体现的主题非常丰富，既有关于政治事件的，也有描写个人或城市的，还有用视觉或书面形式反映被审查的内容的。通过用全新或是现代的现实来重构世界，温特为我们提供了想象的空间，促使我们去解读、重组生活中看到的东西。

展览“现在的过去”与其他画廊上海空间举办的俄罗斯当代艺术家群展“俄罗斯制造”同步，马腾·贝尔特担任本次展览的策展人，同时还为朱莉娅·温特北京个展的图录撰文。

The Russian born artist Julia Winter chooses the title ‘PresentpasT’ for her exhibition in Beijing. It refers to the way she deals with several realities that she combines at the same time in her work. Sometimes she uses old photographs that are covered with objects or other layers of images of our time by which new realities are visualized. It might also have to do with the fact that in Russian daily life many realities coexist at the same time. It is as well a way of visualizing our actual dealing with a load of information that has to be filtered and rearranged in order to understand or to question a certain kind of truth.

In her installations, paintings, photographic assemblages and performances the content might vary from political issues to subjects that portray persons or cityscapes or it deals with censored contents in visual or written information. In the way she reconstructs our world in a new or modern reality she evokes poetic meanings that seduce us to interpret and to rearrange our own vision in life.

The exhibition ‘PresentpasT ’parallels with the exhibition ‘Made in Russia - Nine Contemporary Russian Artists' that OTHER GALLERY | Shanghai Space has organized.
