Buyers who shop - just go on to the official opening of the show. It is for them (as I understand) and some early days set aside , and free admission and champagne at the opening of the river .
There's a circuit with penetrations in the CHA at the Salon - do not ride . Omissions from photographs of real verify with the owner of a person passes, there is no penetration , police , reader scanners for invitations and VIP passes. Very tough .

Non-participation in the current fair
 

Does it mean that Russian contemporary art does not exist?

"Non-participation in the current trade fair (Art Basel 2013) artdiller Selina (Gallery XL) explains the systemic problems. Market in Russia is not developed, it destroyed the beginnings of the crisis, the weakness of the local market galleries do not have time to replenish its cash resources .... Our collectors acquire Western art of the early twentieth century, take "a proven market" - a national trait . On top fairs of contemporary Russian art collectors buy only foreign. "

and really - is Russian national characteristic not see and do not appreciate anything of his own, no people, no art (not yet appreciate someone "from the outside")

It depends of course on what is meant by "Russian", but in the last two biennial Globle Art Agency Award (organization untwist contemporary artists) in Amsterdam in 2012 and in Barcelona in 2013, defeated Tatiana Loginova (Loguinova) which incidentally is told that after receiving the prize received many invitations from Western galleries, but none of Russia and the Cultural Department of the Embassy of the Russian Federation, too, until it does not matter. Before this prize was awarded to Christina Rebecca Romashkan (dissident Soviet Union) has been working in the United States and the EU, was also marked by photographer Catherine Kryuchkov (her work is sold at auction UNISEF in Paris, 2013) and the artist Leni Smoragdova (Urals), which made the performance in GAA Award for 2012 in Amsterdam, they all work exclusively in the west. Not a real offer from Russian art experts, no project in Russia ..
And this despite the fact that they are marked with the best of the many talented artists from around the rigid professional selection committee "young"! It will be interesting to see their new designs at the Biennale Vienna Showcase GAA in October in Vienna and then in Japan

With the success of exhibiting abroad photographer Mary Knyazev (Moscow), her new project NewsPaperWork
Cool photographs in Vdadimira Clavijo-Telepneva
of eminent Konstantin Khudyakov (his stereo light panels, video art, installations - it's cool and new), Vadim Filimonov (works in experimental directions now .. photographs, collages)
No where, no matter what the Biennale has not seen such ceramic sculptures as Ivan Tarasyuk.
.. And of course, it's not all "new and interesting"

We have had experience in several biennials put in 90-2000 Ghent, Amsterdam and Basel, painting and drawing Vyacheslav Mikhailov, Valery Lucca, Alexander Gerasimov, Anatoly Zverev (from the collection). The reaction of Western public and the press was awesome, huge interest, because at that time the pop-up form of the canvas, the "bulk of Petrograd" (it's now come out of the image frames in 3D, but this trend and its Interpretation asked them back in the 80's and have been in trend) or fingers painted picture on the packaging of the Soviet paper - was the "world revolution" .. a series of pencil drawings "Faces" Mikhailova, with mugs, denoting the original inner world of man, wept over them in the truest sense of the word .. but financially it was difficult to "pull" stands, but must exhibit ever, and it is very expensive. (but we are not a gallery! not prof-ly, and private collectors)

Many contemporary artists have positioned themselves as Western, in order that they would take seriously noticed .. and have serious internal imbalances.
Here it is written in the "young" today in the tape FB
- If you do not love Russia - do not lose anything from it. It does not require victims, idiot. Not waiting for your delight, songs, offerings, prayers. Words even - can not wait. And your life will not wait.
She will not die without you, will not disappear.
But if t e b e dies Russia - blank, cheerful and therefore doubly dreary, you ponesesh the world. Insatiable vampire - you seek hatred, pleasure, or rest in the distant provinces of Australia.
But no peace, no hatred, no pleasure will not you - because all consumed is carried away into the hole, the rest of love.
I say to you, love Russia. Learn, poor thing.))

And is it all new?

So those who are looking for contemporary Russian art with new trends - while looking at the Saatchi

http://www.saatchionline.com/

In Russia - Erarta very good museum of contemporary art, working with the "young" art, but in general, the lack of interesting exhibitions creates the sensation of Kontemporari Art in Russia

Everything is good, but not profitable.
Everyone benefits, and who has "huge interest" - unprofitable.

It's amazing.


"The market is not developed, the beginnings destroyed ..."
Filipino gallery exhibited, we'll see a developed market.

This is not surprising .
It's one thing to generate interest in the quality by Art Biennale, and quite another to sell art at a high price , higher than market value ! that would recoup the stand . ((I'm glad that I'm not sold off his entire collection for show . Thank God )
There have already been written that artists too "hungry " sit and adjust their prices according to their needs . This is true.

Russian market is not .. and you know how many top artists from Europe want to exhibit in Moscow? This is their " pipe dream " because the " Russian " from time to time they buy (just do not have anyone to exhibit ), the Russian market is, but want to buy it checked.

And these problems are only in the Russian Federation?
Or Russian artists especially hungry?

this is a problem istoricheki general (and Gagosian periodically neponyatki contracts ) . Now we do not have the most " hungry" in the world.
( (but another circumstance , sometimes Russian artists ( serious ) also can easily by x. send "very adventurous " , they know sometimes , not Basel Basel, but at home, in the attic is better to do with spiritual need , and many of the purpose of life ! to be recognized at home ) )
