Saša Tkačenko’s Letter to Low by Alexander Leissle, for ArtReview.
Tkačenko’s I Could Live In Hope at Eugster || Belgrade remembers the slowcore band, and a past he can never retrieve.
‘Low was an American indie rock band from Duluth, Minnesota, formed in 1993 by Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker.’ This is the only information presented in Serbian artist Saša Tkačenko’s exhibition I Could Live in Hope, titled after the band’s 1994 debut album. The sentence is acetone-printed small onto a pale brown plasterboard, a poster-sized work titled The Band (all works 2024). Perhaps it’s the only information you need. After all, Tkačenko’s show is an exploration of absence, of looking at the place where nothing is, or rather, where nothing is anymore.
