Taus Makhacheva: It's possible to raise the ceiling a bit*

This solo exhibition presents work by Taus Makhacheva, a contemporary artist from the Caucasus region. The show, held at Fries Museum in Leeuwarden from 2021 to 2022, features the artist's characteristic approach to spatial intervention and social critique. Through sculpture, installation, and video works, Makhacheva examines themes of possibility, constraint, and the potential for transformation within everyday environments. The exhibition's title itself—'It's possible to raise the ceiling a bit*'—suggests both literal and metaphorical interventions in the spaces we inhabit.
