After completing his studies at the Art Academy, he moves to Leningrad, today's St. Petersburg, where he lives until 1990. He is active in the semi-official art scene of the city and becomes a member of the independent artists group ‘Association of Experimental Visual Art' (TEII).

He effectively presents his work as 'visual poetry', in which he uses painting, installations and performance, just as much as experimental and improvised literary formats. The mixture of different languages and orthographic systems, and the combination of words and pictures, is characteristic for his work in all these genres.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eBadalov focuses on an exploration of the limits of language, as well as the limitations that it imposes on its users. People that lead nomadic lives – artists, but also economic migrants and political refugees – will experience both the battle and the advantages of cultural adaptation, while they can also become a prisoner of the language. Badalov plays with such situations, thereby alluding to broader geopolitical questions.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBabi Badalov\u003c/strong\u003e (°1959) werd geboren in het Azerbeidzjaanse Lerik.

Hij presenteert zijn werk effectief als 'visuele poëzie' en werkt met schilderkunst, installatie en performance, net als met experimentele en geïmproviseerde literaire formats. De vermenging van verschillende talen en orthografische systemen en de combinatie van woorden en beelden is, in al die genres, kenmerkend voor zijn werk.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eBadalov wijdt zich aan de verkenning van de grenzen van de taal en de beperkingen die ze oplegt aan haar gebruikers. Mensen die nomadische levens leiden – kunstenaars, maar ook economische migranten of politieke vluchtelingen – zullen de strijd en de voordelen van de culturele adaptatie ervaren, maar kunnen ook gevangenen van de taal worden. Badalov speelt met dergelijke situaties en zinspeelt zo op bredere geopolitieke kwesties.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"locations":[{"country":"AZ","place":"Lerik","category":{"en":"Born in","nl":"Geboren in","fr":"Né à"}},{"country":"FR","place":"Paris","category":{"en":"Lives in","nl":"Leeft in","fr":"Vit à"}}]}
