По умолчанию Kitchen Kabakovs

Interesting article in ArtChronika:

Kitchen Kabakovs
Ilya and Emilia Kabakov - the most famous contemporary artists associated with Russia. Let's just say, politically correct, so as not to offend the Ukraine, where I came from both, and that is not too flattering America, where they are based in recent years. But, in fact, these people - committed cosmopolitans, spending their lives in airplanes and hotel rooms, open their exhibitions in different parts of the world. For twenty-odd years since then, as Ilya Kabakov, left the USSR and the creative alliance with Emily, the founder of Moscow Conceptualism was supposed to move into the category of honorable retirees that are respected but distant aliens, not far from it: each new minded generation of artists began to dance on Kabakov, both on the stove, from dealing with his work has already drawn up a decent "kabakoviana. What was the matter, which explains this influence is timeless? The fact that the modern Russian art scene today rulyat his immediate colleagues and disciples? The universality of art devised a system where the artist and critic - one whole? International success, star status, to achieve the dream of many? Energetic co-author - Emilia Kabakov? "Artchronika" decided to look into this phenomenon, asking himself and Ilya Iosifovicha what it is - be Kabakov?

To communicate with Emilia and Ilya Kabakov, I had to go to Paris. Before that I tried to catch them in Germany, and even earlier - in America, where they live. The whole operation took about six months. Emilia kindly sent me their schedule for the coming year, with all the openings, and the premiere of their formulation, and gala dinner, and other Event in which they should participate. This piece of paper with dates and cities (Reykjavik, Dusseldorf, Amsterdam, China and so on and so forth, just some hundred points) looked as conceptual work, as the legendary, yet the Soviet era, kabakovsky "schedule removal of garbage buckets. But it was not about fictional characters from the communal, and about the present schedule of life of great artists.

In Paris Kabakov had come to prepare an exhibition in the gallery Taddeush Ropac - with the new "flying" pictures, which show floating in the space of the canvas. Two weeks before that, they had dinner in Paris with Dmitry Medvedev and Nicolas Sarkozy - the reception was in honor of the opening, the "Russia - France". Emilia regrets that she could not communicate with the Russian president - have planned a large exhibition Kabakovs in the Grand Palais could be in the program year one of the hits, but it seems that it will finance the French Ministry of Culture. However, the program included a small exhibition Kabakov - in the Louvre.

Since auction prices for works Kabakov up (a record of $ 5.8 million for the painting "Beetle" 1982), the device of museum exhibitions has been a real headache: collectors throw up their frenzied coverage of the masterpieces belonging to them, and museums are not always able to find a means - so had to cancel the exhibition in a museum in Greece, the lamented Emilia. Dealing with the presidents Kabakov is no stranger: two years ago, Medvedev handed Ilya Kabakov Order of Friendship of Peoples ", than a little puzzled - this award is usually handed to foreigners. A couple had recently been invited to the White House along with several other prominent American artists, and then Emilia posted on Facebook photo of his granddaughter's happiness, which embraces Michelle Obama.

As usual, the first lady, Emilia oversees charitable projects - received in 2008, Japanese Imperial Award Kabakov donated operations for Russian children with heart disease and repaired at her nursing home on Long Island. Several years ago, was coined by the project "Ship of Tolerance" or The Wind of Tolerance, United Children Project: in different countries offer children describe and draw what they think about the world of these pictures and then sewed the sail, which rises above this vessel, which builds a special team of carpenters. The sail was raised in Egypt, Venice, planning in the United Arab Emirates, in Chicago, in St. Moritz, with Russia still somehow can not. The mere presence of the famous couple on those or other events - is a gift. For example, it was Ilya Emilia Chinese government called the open village of artists under Beijing - showcase of state support for contemporary art. They will attend the gala dinner in London in favor of the Hermitage, which held their first large exhibition in Russia in 2004.

Emilio and the rest of the artistic sector: contacts with galleries, publishing books and catalogs and, as one would say in the museum, control and accountability - that she knows where to find one or another job, and advised to apply directly to it, if in doubt Authenticity of things (and such cases, the farther away, the more - manufacturers of fakes are on the alert). Kabakov dream to pass these troubles on behalf of the Fund, but until it is established, slowly lead to the order made. Next to their studio on Long Island are stored layouts installations - something like a museum of casts, or a toy railroad. Imagine a conventional museum, where they would be collected total installation in life, sometimes gigantic size, it is difficult - probably, he would take the entire Long Island.

Emilia Kabakov upset when she is perceived only as a manager and strict press secretary that prevents him from harassing journalists - one has to confess, among the Russian press her just such a reputation (sorry, Emily!). Our art community is generally suspicious of the art business is not easy to accept the fact that since the early 1990's it appears as a co-author Ilya Kabakov, and to evaluate its contribution to international career

Meanwhile, it is so. Anyone who communicates closely with the artist, knows how much they need to understand, especially by such artists as Ilya Kabakov, whose work is largely built on the idea of dialogue, exchange of interpretations, talk about art. Having lost with the departure to the West their environment, their circle of colleagues and admirers understand (as admitted by Ilya Kabakov, his favorite painting in the Museum d'Orsay - a populous "Workshop" Courbet), he obviously needed such a man as Emilia: on the one hand, better adapted to life in the West, who are fluent in English (she had left the USSR in 1973), almost a foreigner, on the other - a person having a common past with him, the same Soviet experience (they had known since his youth in Dnipropetrovsk and fall related to one another) that can evaluate, discuss and translate his ideas. A man who knows what it is - open to 40 exhibitions a year, when you're not 25, and 76. How to invent something new, as is shown when all learned by heart, that Kabakov (Kabakov) - this is about Soviet life, communal kitchens and eccentrics autistic. What's it like - to compete with its own myth, to fight against stereotypes and perceptions to take responsibility - for Emilia Kabakovo is a very important word. Somehow, it seems that this is Emilia fault that kabakovskih installations recently appeared indecently touching a character, like an angel.
