Famous Russian gallerist Marat Gelman yet opened in Perm several controversial exhibitions held within the festival "White Nights" and closed by local officials. Among them - the exhibition of Krasnoyarsk artist Vasily Slonova Welcome! Sochi-2014, dedicated to the upcoming Winter Olympics in Sochi, Israeli collective exhibition "New Barbizon" and a display of Stone Sergei "The Russian Baroque."

"Half an hour later Slonova exhibition," New Barbizon "and Stone opened. Officials must understand that censorship is not only illegal and counterproductive, but also impossible today. Skeptics may be ashamed, the incident is over, the festival continued," - M. Gelman wrote in his blog .

It became known yesterday that closed after criticism of the government of the Perm edge exhibition will run at new sites, in particular in the museum PERMM in the independent cultural center "boatman."

Recall that S.Kamennogo exhibition "Russian Baroque" was closed on June 6 because her photos were submitted to the Moscow rally. They were replaced by the works of Israeli art group "New Barbizon" which, however, also lost the opportunity to be represented at the festival "White Nights" - on one of the stands of the artist wrote the words of support and V.Slonovu declared inadmissibility of censorship.

Closing of the exhibition Welcome! Sochi-2014, which occurred two days earlier, caused an even greater resonance. Angry "Cheburashka" V.Slonova exposing the processes that accompany the organization of the Olympic Games in Sochi, did not like the local officials.

According to the most V.Slonova, "project Welcome! Sochi-2014 is designed to promote the brand of the Winter Olympics in Sochi in Europe, America and the rest abroad."

"Taking aim at the audience you want us, it is important to take into account these cultural perceptions of our country, to form a democratic media, Hollywood and the whole of Western mass culture. Moreover, such a" cranberry "approach degrades, disarms and gets to work on brand Sochi- 2014 all obscurantist and energy Russophobe Western creative community ", - the Krasnoyarsk artist.

However, officials believe that "Russophobic" are just that it works. "Russophobian demonstrations," the senator called them from Perm arya Andrei Klimov, who took the opportunity to compare V.Slonova with Goebbels. State Duma deputy Grigory Kuranov said about "a derogatory attitude towards the success of our country." Similar rhetoric adheres to his colleague Alex gun.

Chairman of the Government of the Perm region Gennady Tushnolobov in an interview with "Kommersant" said the exhibition was closed on his initiative. "The exhibition Basil Slonova really shut down after my visit, because this show is not worthy to be in the Perm region. Though she drove many regions and all remained silent," - said the regional prime minister.

M. Gelman considers closing shows part of the campaign against the governor of Perm region Viktor Basargin. "After we run over by the governor. Inexperienced people in the administration give in to this pressure," - he said. Speech by the Minister of Culture of the regional Gladnev Igor, who also criticized the exhibition Welcome! Sochi-2014, gallery owner called demagogy, similar to the rhetoric of Soviet power. In this case, the very head of the region, "Cheburashka" is also not pleased.

"The scandalous exhibition about Sochi does the concept of celebration of the city did not fit. Views of those whom this story is not indifferent to the polar divided. Someone laughed, others rebelled, seeing in this humiliation of Russia, symbols of the Olympic Games. Personally to me the idea for this exhibition absolutely do not like "- said V.Basargin.

In an interview with BBC BBC V.Slonov said that Permian officials have not contacted him to report the closing of the exhibition. "It speaks to their inexperience, they lack judgment. I will not bump into conspiracy theories: it is possible, here came together people of different motivations. Time will put everything in its place. Apparently, the officials have failed in their emotions" - summed up artist.

Acting Minister of Culture of the Perm Territory Igor Gladnev fired director KGAU " Modern Art Museum " (museum PERMM) Marat Gelman , said " Russian Planet " referring to the agency Ura.ru.
How to write agency Ura.ru, June 18th governor decided to prepare a festival "White Nights 2014 " without the participation of Marat Gelman to check the expenditure of budgetary funds allocated for the event.
" The other day, Gelman promised good news from Perm. Really good news : Gelman fired , the contract with him terminated . Expulsion took place ," - wrote in microblogging head of the Duma Committee on Foreign Affairs Alexei gun.

Yes, very good news!

Cattle triumphs :

Do not worry you so Cyril.
Such as Gelman, do not drown.
)

Why do you consider this good news?

If your question is not provocative , it is idle, in other words, is rhetorical.
My answer is this : I think that Gelman as a public figure , no longer profitable (most harmful ) even their ideological and ideological allies. As a kind of socio- political unit , it has run its course . Persona non grata.

Question normal, I would say the line.

And here's the answer - nothing.

In my Gelman performed a miracle in a particular town - has created a museum which tells the whole country.
Try again.

And took it off for the exhibition "Sochi ..", well the last straw, apparently.

"Russian Povera" and shown as part of the 3rd Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art in Milan, so this museum is known for, and in the world.

Because Gelman Politechnology understands , but does not understand the art, for his long work gallery owner gave to the world the level of a single artist , had withdrawn to the whistle . Less mama, papa sons , daughters leaders of the Soviet time, more professionals aimed at the consistent success - this process has begun , and God forbid, to continue ..
I wrote about the artist , who, after the exhibition at the Gelman threw his work in the trash - gallery they were not needed , as the artist himself.

Apparently , you do not know , for example, about his exhibition " Babylon " as much as in 1990 .
Here are some of the participants :
Basanets , Andrew ;
Bystrov, John B. ;
Gnilitskiy , Alexander ;
Voice, Oleg ;
Reunov , Konstantin V. ;
Roitburd , Alexander ;
Tistol , Oleg ;
Tsaholov , Basil .

Cyril Syzransky, many are called, but few are chosen.
Reminds beauty Anna Pavlovna Scherer.
Time will tell, rather, already judged.

Exhibition at Geliana for any artist , and a milestone in his career, and pass to the " upper class ".
About a dream of thousands of artists exhibition , but just " are called "- that is not enough ...

By the way , Seriy, you have to remind me of another local artist , he also hints at all the time myself - the favorite . <! - ~ 7 ~ ->

Konstantin,
Gelman: I was fired because of censorship
 back forward
 Photo ITAR-TASS Photo ITAR-TASS famous gallery owner Marat Gelman, who was fired today from his post as director of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Perm, not too upset about losing his job. However, he is concerned about the future of the museum. According to gallery owner, his successor will be difficult to maintain an existing collection, this Guelman told RBC.

The main reason for his dismissal M. Gelman calls censorship.


M. Gelman:

"I think that one of the reasons for termination of the employment contract was the recent conflict related to the fact that the Minister of Culture of the Perm Territory has forbidden us to hold the festival" White Nights ", which included three exhibitions. And as we consider unacceptable censorship, all three exhibitions at the museum were open - so we wanted to show that Perm - this is not a city where the exhibition is closed. "


Thus, according to the gallerist, the reason for his dismissal can be considered censorship. Thus M. Gelman noted that the form of termination of the contract by the authorities did not seem strange to him


M. Gelman:

"The strange thing is that the festival" White Nights "," Skif "," Movement ", a book festival - all of these activities will continue to work. With the only difference is that now all of these artists, musicians, artists will talk about my dismissal, which would create a not very profitable for the authorities tone events. "


M. Gelman, adding that he sees no reason why the government needed to terminate an employment contract right now. In this case, the gallery owner said that, in general, care as director of the Perm Museum too will change his plans. "I will continue to do what I was doing before. It's summer - rest a little, think about it, "- he added.


M. Gelman:

"In all this I am most concerned about who will be my successor, and if he can keep the collection without being censored. Find such a person would be very difficult. Any guesses about who it might be I do not, do not think about it. "


According to M. Gelman, a situation where those in power are people who believe that their function - to interfere in the work of museums and festivals, sad. So, says gallery owner. In Soviet times, cultural officials did not close the show, this was done by the curators of the KGB.

"I have a feeling that the current Minister of Culture just mixed agency - the Ministry of Culture of the Perm region, he took over the service on special assignments", - concluded M. Gelman.

The fact that M. Gelman longer enrolled director of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Perm PERMM, became known today, June 19. As explained to the representatives of the regional Ministry of Culture of the employment contract concluded with the gallery owner in 2008. Was terminated unilaterally. The museum shall soon find a new director, and dismissed - to pay compensation.

Many artists have already expressed their disappointment over the dismissal of M. Gelman. Commented on the situation and the representatives of the notorious art group "War". "The dismissal of Gelman's Perm - the end of the only stories made together with the government, which had cultural value," - said the artists.
