The exhibition-installation "radio" Vladislav Efimov in CHA
 

Ravenscourt Galleries suit in CHA Special preview of-installation Vladislav Efimov - until May 17 in the foyer on the 1 st floor in the CHA will run installation winner "Innovation 2008" by Vladislav Efimov "radio".

I wonder your opinion on the project. And why do you think he won the latest "innovation"?

Chamber exhibition "radio" was arranged gallery «Ravenscourt» at the end of 2008, the art-club "Soboh. And created this installation was part of the festival "Contemporary Art in Traditional Museum" 2008 "with the support of the Institute" PRO ARTE ". For the first time realized in the museum-apartment SM Kirov in St. Petersburg. The second time is shown in the club "Soboh» (Ravenscourt Galleries) in Moscow.
Maxim Boxer - a famous gallery owner and collector - has exposed the way, on the advice of Art Director, Cultural Center "Art-arrow" Olga Lopukhova, on behalf of Ravenscourt Galleries, this unusual project for the State Award "Innovation 2008". The project was among the "nominees" and was shown at an exhibition in the NCCA. And already "after winning the" Innovation "- says M. Boxer - appealed to me the mass of people who, unfortunately, for various reasons have not seen the draft. And in general, few people understand its significance. However, even we could not assume that the project will receive such a high level evaluation of state art award ... now «Ravenscourt Galleries ordered another, if I may say so, the remake of exposure" for radio. " Now all those who have not seen this amazing installation, will be able to see the project in the Central House of Artists.
Vladislav Yefimov (born September 5, 1964 in Moscow). Graduated from the Moscow Institute of Automotive (1985), Fellow of the Berlin Academy of Arts (1995 /96). Lives and works in Moscow.
Once Vladislav Efimov was seriously thinking about the radio. More precisely, the fate of radio receiving: "In the apartments of our live radio, - says the artist. - We pay a monthly fee and get a radio transmission networks in their home radio, current us by wire. Instead of free waves of the ether - the wires and socket with the harsh words "for radio. This ingenious invention existed in the Soviet Union and there and now his heir - Russia. I imagine that consciousness is awakened in Radios. By joining in the chorus, singing radiopoints favorite songs, swaying in harmony, the rhythm of musical tunes.
Actually, this says it all. Lightboxes with the most amazing radios from childhood. Near the same radiopoints in flight, away from their old neighborhoods. And as the apotheosis - robotovidnye complex structure, in which receivers are alive, swirling and singing in chorus. Again be included lightboxes. Again quickened exhibition installation. Where the old receivers that are configured on a range of fixed programs, will take turns to sing and say something very familiar ...

Very interesting project, and probably spectacular. But in this forum zhivoderstvo more in honor of Hurst, and any mention of the USSR is contraindicated.

There is no need for a forum to blame ...

I also liked. Warm!

Here are wrong! Pushkin said that education is distinguished from savagery respect to the past ... And then just do not savages gathered.

A project is good, intelligent, non-aggressive, suggestive, meditation, not seeking to blunt shock the audience - probably so, and won.

Allena, and some thought and reflection, he called you? I am very interested in your opinion. thanks:)

Yaya, nothing highly artistic and not a single thought about modern or contemporary art and art in general! The most simple human thoughts, feelings, but also very personal - what, actually, I see the merit of this project: it is a response not of reason but emotion. I'm trying to verbalize this stream of consciousness, but does not work - I, fortunately, not an art critic. But the withdrawal of thinking has turned quite distinct, even: a long time going off the kitchen that same socket for the radio, "because for many years never use it, but now has decided not to shoot.
Sorry, did not respond to your question - but sensible fails.

Shoot safely, wired radio anymore. Only air.

Even as it is! Look, just in case, a receipt for the rent. In Moscow on 29-odd rubles a month worth it, however!: D

Allena, Moscow-perhaps there is a mausoleum for the receipt and payment may discern. : D In my receipts just not.
