Biennale
 

anyone else was in the past in Moscow Salaries? someone like that?

I tried to get to the stables at the opening, but ... turn multimeter snake showed that the huge interest among the public.
I went to the GUM (1 floor, 1-Line). Exhibit included landscapes Mark Vinogradov "Tuscany" and the draft Franco Fontana "Contrast". Especially liked Vinogradov - amazing nature of Tuscany - especially a field planted with different cultures - a bird's flight. Clearly separated sections of green, yellow and black, different textures give the impression that this is not a photograph, a poster depicting paintings in oil or acrylic.

If interested in - that's the whole program Salaries:

Gursky and on no one went? a lot of opinions heard about this show ... they say is very unusual ....

Yes, many advised him to go.
At Winzavod under Salaries visited quite a lot of interesting exhibitions. Harry Gruyer "Coast", like how he was able to remove the beaches of France, a maritime theme, and for some reason, large-format photos printed on paper, and this is visible to a large grain, particularly in exploring the sky.
Pleased Alex Webb Color: pain intensity. " He managed to find the optimal solution of the balance of light and color. In general, this series of photographs suitable for the very concept of "photo-graphy" lightscript "" writing with light "(Greek). Filming in Mexico, Haiti - quite realistically shows life: the slums, children's playgrounds. Liked one of his work "Seller mirrors" http://www.mdf.ru/festivals/fotobien...nale2008/webb/
not immediately clear that this mirror))
A lot of interesting, noted that I remember, I advise you to visit, but still liked Guy Le Kerrek "Jazz from J to Z" - Picture of famous musicians, but most important - hear the music! not just a man at the piano, and hear how he plays - what is most important in the musical photos)

visited today Gursky and exhibitions at Winzavod ... frankly very disappointed, in my opinion, nothing special ... the reasons for the praise Gursky not see any ... in my usual PR, ala contemporary art ...

Nevertheless, Andreas Gursky is considered significant by the photographer. Perhaps his successes and exaggerate, but large-scale survey - employment is not an easy one. His photographs are relevant, attractive, if I may say so (attractive) - Detained opinion - can be regarded as near and afar, yes, I will agree, in the style of modern art - but this time the request if, for his photos of fabulous money to pay, then it claimed.
This is not just in photography, perhaps in the painting, too, there are similar examples where the cost of some "hyped" the artist is several times the estimate.

maybe it's in demand now, but I have no confidence that it will be popular in 10 years.

The most significant and important - Gursky Exhibition

Glad to see on this forum a professional high class! :)

Vladimir, and more about Gursky can you say? Interested in your opinion and impression of his work. And why do you think the exhibition Gursky most significant and important?

Excellent indicator of educational rights in the art, knowledge of the history of the arts, and non-repudiation of the old, the sample interesting use of color in photography, printing is terrible.
Remarkable strategist in the business of its promotion
