To destroy this building can not be! This magnificent building! He has a great potential for increasing the area through the patio and the space between the columns. And the building has a comfortable and beautiful.

Agree! It simply must be put in order and disperse the small shopkeepers ....

Saturday's release of a TV channel "Culture"

Time of decision-making about the fate of the Central House of Artists is still ahead. However, for members of the Confederation of artists they "vitally" important. The philosophical question "to be or not to be" for them is narrowed to "live or not live." Once the area of CHA were designed so that it is possible to transform the space under the revolutionary ideas of artists. Now those walls are easily adapted for commercial ideas. Correspondents of "News of Culture" were held today along the walls of art galleries, and between stores in the same territory.

The house painter of his regulars called art business center or even a "supermarket of art. Here is the whole infrastructure - freight elevators for large works, convenient access and so on. Galleries and exhibitions occupy 9 thousand square ekspometrov. Total per year are carried out up to 300 events, and the Christmas Fair - one of the largest and most profitable. These commercial projects have begun in the 90's. They sold even coat. Now on the shelves in the main "objects of applied art". Although they belong to the art - at times, controversial.

Yuri Podporenko, assistant chairman of the International Confederation of Unions of Artists: "This area, in general, sufficient discussion. The measure here - artistic taste and the fact that those involved in experienced staff and art historians.

Organizers say that to get expo-place is not easy. There are regular sponsors of participating fairs. He and preference. Product attractive and running. And visitors are satisfied.

Professional artists such consumer goods not to their liking. But CHA - a huge building, it should contain, and no support from the state budget. Therefore, without commerce is necessary.

Alex Suhovetsky, People's Artist of Russia: "Business of use and then help and serious art shows. Because the display of works of art - it is very expensive mechanism.

By the way, the exhibitions of the Union of Artists of Russia and the International Confederation of Unions CHA earns a little - for representatives of art, which does not cause problems, the rent is low. And the artists have an opportunity here to show off their creations and, importantly, to sell them. Thus, the CHA - the largest employer in Russia's art. And around feeding the countless street vendors.

Arthur Radukan, artist: "We have this live feed and the family. Therefore, if drive us out, it significantly affect our financial situation.

Counterfeit, copy or plain bad taste can be found both outside and inside the CHA. To acquire works of art or a parody of them, and how much to pay for it - the decision of customers. This is a normal commerce, say the artists, the usual market with multiple offers and only one censor - personal artistic taste.

The course, that tomorrow, that is, on Sunday at 15.45 near the Park of Culture will be another rally against the upcoming demolition of CHA?
Although, as said Vasily Bychkov, moving CHA will osuschestvlyatsmya only after the construction and commissioning of the new building through the Garden Ring. Promise that it will be exactly 1.5 times the old and more modern. Doubts, of course, there :) "And then give the old building of the Moscow Government. And already there - underground parking, shopping centers, etc. etc.

I've not understand what is so great edifice.
But the fact that there will be then after the demolition and reconstruction occur with CHA (a GTG - all, in general, worry) - it certainly really inspires.

As for the Tretyakov Gallery, last week was to "freshen" exposure. Previously - a month ago - on another "not renewed". Well ... I'm not talking about the exhibits, of course. But frankly, these things could be arranged quite differently, much more modern space. And people would be more confident. Now - 2,5 Rights of force.

IMHO the building is hopelessly outdated, does not decorate the urban landscape, takes too much potentially usable space in the center with convenient access ...
Pull yourself together! yard ХХ1 century, to contemporary art needs modern exhibition space! With the recent technological advances, the opportunities for the disabled, like everywhere else in the advanced world!
Imagine how many you want, you can create interesting things in this huge area!

LORART, I do not understand. I remember when it was just built (for ten years was in the process, maybe more?), Have all said that the project is hopelessly outdated. Therefore, all the talk about the legacy of the great architect of the Soviet modernity Sukoyan think baseless and cunning. Inside - just trouble. I happened once to wander through the local cellars. "Storage". Ghastly! Everything flows. Suffocation. The doors are narrow. Freight elevator - one.
Short.
If you want to get rid of boring your favorite works of art - bring it to us in the CHA. We know what to do with him!

Absolutely agree, the building does not fit into the existing architectural ensemble and it seems from the outside to the logistics warehouse. It must be demolished and the sooner the better.

Demolish it should be no earlier than the construction and relocation GTG-Arts & Humanities twentieth century and CHA in new buildings.
And the construction of new buildings for some reason referred to in the last turn.
There are all sorts of thoughts and fears. Here are a just and sounded. Many believe that until better to have the old building CHA, than a new construction site of a family of billionaires Baturin and Tretiyakovsky pictures in any kind of stock.

Cyril Syzransky, I do not understand what have CHA? At the expense of "GTG-Arts & Humanities twentieth century, this is understandable, and think not to worry about anything, they certainly give a space before the opening of the new building.
But CHA - tightly corrupt organization, in my opinion to the needs of real artists nothing to do with not having a long time! Thank God they (the Union of Artists) remains the full area around Moscow, the kotoryht they can put out to divine the previous terms.
As for the open-air market on the waterfront (point someone in distress) because it prevents those who remain? He, too, IMHO the current building CHA is not connected.

As I said, the leadership of CHA (I'm talking about the Director of CHA and in combination on the master leases it company Expo-Park, Vasily Bychkov), now completely calm. Confidently say that the new building houses the artist will be built, no one knows when, but it is not important. And only then will move. I think they know more than us, so the experience is for them.
Although they are still against the change. To the question: why? - If the building is modern and finally technically adapted to the exhibition activities - no answer. All speak of the "namolennosti" this place. Technical equipment in these ethical parameters does not fit ...

Sandro,
Why break. We must build a new and not necessarily on the Crimean Val. Location, I guess you can find. Another question is whether this new place is as attractive to investors as CHA? It seems that when making strategic decisions on such an object, as CHA (should be separated by the federal and private owners) about the interests of artists and others of that ilk think the very least. Convenient to use the demolition of old buildings to a new and very profitably equip its former space. Personal financial gain or the prospect - the only thing standing in decisions on such objects. This building would have removed long ago. Saved him only what the owners are different, and investors have shown explainable indecision. People inside really is not enough. There were times better, but it is not connected with the building itself, but with the uncertainty of the fate of the spirit which hovers in space and pervades all their perishable influence. My opinion - the building is not broken, rebuild the modern fashion, the owners do not touch. Go tell that personal interests in the administration do not have. I assume that is subjective in the evaluation, because once had a relationship to this building and of course, in civil, not indifferent to his fate.

That is what is officially sent organizers of the rally in defense of CHA (20.12). If you have the strength - read to the end. Mestamismeshno.

on December 20 at 15.45 at the door at the entrance to Gorky Park Gorky was a rally against the demolition of CHA and against the adoption of the General Plan. The organizers of the protest action were made by the activists' right to the city "and the socialist movement" Forward ". Despite the frost, the square opposite the Central House of Artists express their disagreement with the General Plan-2025 it was about 200 people.

The rally was held under the slogans against the General Plan and against the demolition of buildings CHA /GTG and commercial construction in its place - "Master Plan-2025 - is genocide Muscovites", "The wealth of Russia's culture, rather than building up an elite," "Stop the unknown investor" "Russian avant-garde is no place on the margins of the business center."

All speakers agreed on the fact that the adoption on December 22 the key document that determines the construction of Moscow until 2025, offers tremendous opportunities for new crimes against the appearance of our city and the interests of its residents. Numerous violations of the law, flaws, lies and falsification accompanying the adoption of General Plan talk about one thing: he was adopted solely for the benefit of corrupt officials and big business. Every resident of Moscow becomes a nuisance in the way of this "master plan" of bureaucrats and construction business: the transformation of the whole (parks and courtyards, museums and architectural monuments, buildings and roads) in profit.

The main claim made at the event: decisions relating to all, should not take a miserable bunch. Discuss and create a space habitat have all the townspeople. Adoption of the General Plan should be suspended, its development involved independent businesses experts view the public should be taken into account, in fact, not in words, there should be a retrial, which would identify, took into account whether the requirements of the townspeople.

Also at the rally was shown a satirical New Year's performance of "False" Santa Claus give away investors Moscow. "Jura boy in a cap read Grandfather Frost and Snow Maiden, general layout poem Eugene Yassin" New Moscow "(http://elesin.livejournal.com/825476.html), and the girl, Lena, his girlfriend, gave Santa Claus orange ball with the words "I took an orange clay and blinded, walked to the reception, got a house." They got a gift, CHA, tied with pink ribbon. There were no New Year Kush and Turkish boy Gunay Insaat Sanayi Ve Ticaret Sirketi Anonymous - he won the Pushkin Square (http://www.izvestia.ru/moscow/article3095055/), and the second national wealth behalf of the great poet, Pushkin Museum im. Pushkin, produced a small, Lord Norman (http://www.archnadzor.ru/?p=3306).

Gift Norman Santa Claus accompanied the reading of "disposal", the text of which corresponded to a poem by Marina Tsvetaeva "From my hands - city not made //Accept, my strange, my beautiful brother." Process razdarivaniya Moscow stopped the boy Moskvich, torn from his festive Santa Claus mask, under which the mask revealed terrorist. He told everyone that Santa Claus - a fake, and encouraged all along to call the present, which will return to Moscow citizens.

Well, with this and begin the orgy of legal nihilism! CHA corrupt or not, but 40%of the area does not belong to the state. GTG, and therefore the state owns only 60%of the building. to decide the fate of these areas without taking into account the views of the rightful owners, until proven otherwise - this is IMHO a crime.
I believe that the large and comfortable at the location of such areas in the property from the Non-governmental organizations in Moscow to show no more. A non Fikshen? And salons? Where all this be?
Yes - someone building CHA may not like it, but let's not forget that this is probably the last example of such an architecture in Moscow, and in my humble opinion, it ought to modernize and maintain its appearance.
Well, enough already "Baturin" Khapaev all in the city center and redraw on your taste. And so from Moscow almost nothing left. And this Moloch eats and eats everything!.
