Alix Lambert’s new exhibition is opening today at Real Art Ways in Hartford, Connecticut. Containing photography, drawing, sculpture, and film, as well as original research, the author of the incredible Russian Prison Tattoos aims her various finds at the uneasy city of Hartford in Connecticut.

Exhibited are a cross range of pieces which are almost unclassifiable as either art, or sociological found pieces. Russian criminals hand made playing cards are shown alongside sketches from courtrooms. This exhibition shows the mind of criminality in the most intriguing way.

Here is a trailer from the fantastic film made by Alix in 2001 The Mark of Cain too!
