Sasha Zubritskaya (b. 1994, St. Petersburg; based in Berlin) is a visual artist whose work addresses intersubjectivity, desire, access to and influence of affective states and material resources. She combines objects, graphic work, and videos, creating multi-narrative displays in physical and digital spaces alike. In 2021, she was awarded a scholarship for emerging artists from the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, Moscow.
In 2015, she graduated from St. Petersburg State University with a bachelors degree in Applied Arts, as well as the School for Young Artists at Pro Arte Foundation, the only local institution providing contemporary art education at the time. Her bachelor graduation textile project was presented as a solo exhibition at the gallery Vertical, which was located in an abandoned elevator shaft, in St. Petersburg in 2015.
Her other most noted solo shows took place at FFTN artist run space in St. Petersburg (Penultima/dryspell⟳, 2018), at Start project space of the Winzavov contemporary art center in Moscow (Frozen, 2019), and at Navicula Artis gallery, the oldest independent gallery in St. Petersburg (Master Key, 2019).
In 2016-2022, as a member of a small grass-root collective, she worked on establishing and managing an independent queer-feminist library FemInfoteka. In 2017-2020, she was a consistent collaborator of the North-7 art group, a collective focusing on collaborative happenings and installations as well as community-building practices. Together with the North-7 she was nominated for the Innovation-2019 Award for organizing a sequence of artist-led "Seventh" Independent Art Fairs and, as the collective's member, created part of the collaborative installation comissioned by M HKA Museum in Antwerp in 2019, where her work remains in the museum's collection.
She participated in numerous group shows at artist-run and museum spaces in Russia, Scandinavia and US. Her works can be found in the collection of M HKA Museum, Antwerp (as part of 2019 commission to the North-7 art group), and in private collections in Russia and EU. Since 2018, she leads a parallel freelance career as an English-Russian translator in the fields of art history, contemporary art, and cinema.
