3 . Those who fear that now ART MOSCOW - is completely unknown to anyone gallery with a proposal for less $ 5,000 may be advised not to read the newspapers and press releases. There is also a gallery of famous and expensive. There is a Triumph , Lazarev, Fine Art , Iragi , KultProekt , Krokin , Open Gallery , etc. But in general, the smoke there's fire - things absolutely neprodavabelnyh , from little- known galleries really increased. Many, this is annoying.

 On the other hand, as well as a new gallery now assert themselves in offline? The options are not many . And Art- Moscow just should not be neglected .

Women's abstraction.
IMHO

Today the CHA , possibly through ART -Moscow had an interesting meeting with Kabakov and Baldessari , his show will soon be in the garage. Loved and dialogue between the two masters of modern art and its place in German art of the present serious, landmark , interesting and relevant , without fools , . Want that a growing stratum of our contemporary art was tightened up their heights , and not , is relevant , below the waist or in the wilds of the soviet memory. Sorry not able to record the conversation of two clever artists -many , it would be helpful.

September 21.

Vladimir, it is a global trend - creating sector of affordable art , now in the rules of some fairs straight and written works , such percentage on the stand must be less such amount. Or allocate a separate space for emerging art. And why is someone annoying? Well , buy things for a million - unless someone stopping you? The purpose - to attract new buyers layer . Since it works in the world, work with us.

Fair deep drilling .
In the CHA opened Contemporary Art Fair "Art Moscow" , which is difficult to name another , despite the formal continuity with previous experiences with the same title . Depressing circumstances of the local art market forced the organizers to change the format in the direction of economy .
Over the 17 - year history of the Fair "Art Moscow" had known different times, including difficult . For example , in 1999, its implementation was simply canceled because of the recent default. And in the years that are now called full, the organizer of this event has brought in the face of " Expo Park " is not income , but only loss. Only once, in 2007 , managed to get a tiny profit of $ 20 million Nevertheless the company has always strived for solidity , refinement and broad international participation : the lists and constantly featured in many foreign galleries . A careful observer might notice , however, that the composition of their significantly changed from time to time that the art fair is not very favorable factor .
The backbone of a national galleries remained almost unchanged until last year, when to participate in "Art Moscow" at the same time refused to Gelman Gallery , "Aidan" and XL.
The then loud gossip about the crisis of the contemporary art market in Russia was not just gossip that is now fixed and the new concept of the fair.
Director of " Expo Park " Vasily Bychkov even admitted that they seriously thought about the final rejection of the project.
But the reluctance to give up has led to a different decision : "Art Moscow" sample 2013th based on the galleries without the rich history and high expectations of return. Version 2.0 requires broad participation of young institutions , which are under three years of age. They are granted preferential terms in exchange for the restriction of price categories of works : the maximum value of each should not exceed € 5 million , however, and brought some veterans such as Moscow's " Krokin Gallery " or the Viennese Knollgalery, in order to restart did not look quite so radical .
In total, the current list includes 32 commercial members , 15 of which are held in the Department of New Platform, that is, represent a change fairground course.
For the first time in the history of the "Art Moscow" commercial stands are not located on the second floor of the Central House of Artists , and the third , where the first is usually a non-profit based displays. The latter reigned everywhere and now occupy more than half the trade fair grounds. In fact, on the "Art Moscow " and cultivated non-profit exhibition before , but now their dominance especially clearly indicates the weakened position of market structures.
Of course , one can not say that the current range at their booths something bad and quite uninteresting, but the tone of the sales usually ask the star names of artists, albeit with the popular local scale.
Works of Russian celebrities are here , although not at the levels that before, and international idols almost not at all. This is not a minus spectacle as such, and it can be perceived without frontmen as a curious slice of the current situation , but the former luster with "Art Moscow" as a result of a few flies . Will the young or just not too promoted the authors draw on themselves a "financial plan" is difficult to say .
While potential buyers will get used to the new format of the fairground , in ordinary viewers without scope for collecting is an opportunity to join an accompanying program. It really is vast , though with noticeable differences in the importance and quality of the individual events . The largest of the non-profit projects - the exhibition " New Russian realism" , organized under the auspices of the Bank .
Large-scale paintings and dimensional objects Alexey Belyaev- Gintovta , Leonid Rotar , Olga Soldatova Sergei Chaika and several authors intended to create an impression about the ancient heyday of modern art , forging landmark images of everyday life .
However, the monumental swing ekspozitsionerom does not allow yet to conceal certain clichés of artistic imagination . Modest in size, but much more lively and exciting project of the famous heart surgeon and part-time passionate collector Michael Alshibaya " Multiverse ", where the works of the legendary and underground artists and craftsmen from the original Soviet official status, and current figures of Contemporary art . Here there is a very personal view of art, not blinkered by any concepts , and this installation is completely justified because of the high qualities of the majority of the exhibits , regardless of their rank in the hierarchy of the ruling today .
Found in the program and other collectible shows, varying degrees of comprehension .
But most are still composed of curatorial projects, from the international exhibition of scientific art " eSoznanie /eConsciousness» to show the best works of the reporting of the recent Bonn festival of video art Videonale. Special attention is paid , either intentionally or by coincidence , the contemporary Polish art : it represents just two collective exhibitions . In short, visitors to the "Art Moscow" will not be bored , non-commercial range is quite varied , but all this will lead to warming up to the enthusiasm regarding acquisitions ? Typically, sales statistics published in two or three days after the closing , but even she does not fully reflect the real success or failure of the enterprise.
There are nuances that can not be described solely by the numbers.
It seems that the organizers of the "Art Moscow", torment and poterzat have gained a sort of second wind and hardly will now focus only on the financial statements . But her anyway last word - if not this time , so the next . Allegorically this dramatic situation expresses the kinetic installation " Infinite drill " art group Recycle, mounted on the front stairs of CHA. A huge drill rotates between the ceiling and staircases , and out of his monotonous rotation can not be concluded whether doburyatsya unknown seekers to coveted oil layers. ( Velimir Moist )

visited the Art Moscow. I subscribe to every word bykinista . The experience as a whole, depressing . This mixture of the clothing market , ENEA and creativity of rural houses on the road, served in a pseudo - advanced frame. I fully agree that, compared with the previous two years (before that I will not say , because I was not ), the level of content and organization is reduced considerably . Pricing policy based on the principle stated in the concept of the organizers of the "art of up to 5,000 euros ." Apparently so half of the answers to the question " how much " - " 5,000 Euro ." Second half - 15.000 Euro . There are masters at 45 <! - ~ 1 ~ - > This is also such options dialog ( in the commercial space on the third floor) question the person sitting on the bench at the table " , do not tell whose work is this? - I can not you say it's not my collection , if you turn , there is not written (work tightly framed ) . " Why is it , who are these people ?

There is no life at all , participants arouse sympathy (if not laugh, as is the case . Would like to advise them to request money back from the organizers

There are a couple of interesting artists such as Ilya Gaponova - until then, only heard, but not seen in the live - in Lazarev Gallery. Or Voligamsi , but it now at Winery is 15 times greater. Pushnitsky interesting too , but only as last year was worth in dollars, so this year in the euro - okay so , 30%<! - ~ 1 ~ ->

Well, the whole Soviet entourage , of course. All partitioned to the CHA does not drive

But the other is nothing there . On Sunday go again <! - ~ 1 ~ -> <! - ~ 1 ~ ->

Solo or duet Koteshovym?

No Koteshova was not.
I have them together, as far as I know, there was an exhibition spiritual kind, but it was quite a long time.
And here is the post-industrial Kuzbass tin <! - ~ 1 ~ -> just the way I like <! - ~ 1 ~ ->

No, no , that's just a spiritual exhibition was recently one Gaponova - " Thyatira throne" : fruit - skeletons on the table, and the Kuzbass project - the miners kuzbasslakom on canvas - they shared with Cyril Koteshovym .
Although the spiritual and they have a joint project - "Three days," but he is old .
