Haim Sokol Triumph Gallery 

Dead Letters

Russian-Israeli artist Haim Sokol, the youngest Russian artist featured in the 3rd Moscow Biennale in 2009, shows recent and new work in his first exhibition at Triumph Gallery. Sokol's work explores themes of loss, invisibility and dislocation. Dead Letters includes a new sculpture, 'Three Arches', which references the Arch of Titus, both its physical place in Rome and its mental place in Jewish history, since the arch was awarded to Titus as a triumph after his sack of Jerusalem in 70AD. Another new work, 'Poste Restante', comprises an outdoor installation of sealed postboxes which resembles a graveyard, or a monument to a failure of communication. The exhibition also features drawings and mixed media works.

A 180-page catalogue, 'Dead Letters', accompanies the exhibition.
