Cosmoscow in September 2016
 

In the morning there was a press-показ, has not settled yet, so first impressions. Briefly: I liked Granny @- no. The main claim is all too respectable. From exhibitions of contemporary art are waiting for all-таки what-то very bright, bullying, provocation, to stunned. Need sex, politics, rejection of authority, reactions to the challenges of modernity. In General, expect a "slap in the face to public taste". And Cosmoscow this tight. The word "all".

Interesting like a lot, but stunned is nothing. All presented sold primarily to commercial art. So, to hang on the wall and family while not rebelled. On the other hand, can and should be: people came to trade and not to show off. And boring excessive propriety is a natural payback for potential commercial success.
However, it is more of a grunt, because compare still no one. Competitors komosko no, since I was blown away art-москва.

Yes, and boring, of course, not at all. Among the boldest and most memorable things – and Vasily Slonov, Rinat Voligamsi Alexander Sharov (11.12). The Kremlin stars awkwardly, icon salaries of rubber, chemical protection means in the headdress. Ask a gallery owner – not self-fulfilling if not real Cossacks? Answers: all decent @- time, and then the entrance is heavily guarded and highly paid @- two. On one of the salaries Slonova (left) notice the oak in the background. The artist said that it was about biblical prophecy. They say, once an ancient oak tree wither, wait for the end of the world. Therefore, for the oak has long struggled, but he has recently dried up.

The sixties and the eighties
 

The stands to the surprise of many of the sixties and eighties. Master shows Oleg Tselkov, Seeds Faibisovich, Pavel Pepperstein (son of Victor Pivovarov). In Markina at the stand of Mikhail Roginsky and Weisberg. Tamara Mehovoy – the great exhibition of Boris Kocheyshvili, including its very impressive reliefs. Is Igor Vulokh is a very good painting and graphics. Have Gridchina near young Katya the Tsar heavyweight Nikita Alexeev. And, of course, Igor Shelkovsky is that someone will find this fair is very good.

Favorite artist Kawarga on the stand Lisa Savina was submitted not only a giant biomorphic objects (one of them for many years adorned the window of the Museum Markina), but also a new wall-mounted reliefs. They are filled from the top centimeter layer of polyurethane resin. And looks cool no problems with further care. Of the reliefs in places that escape the jaws of the alligator, the monkey mug. Savina says that he asked a little brighter and this is the maximum fun I managed to pull from the author. In addition Kawarga known contemporary artists on neighboring stands are the Chtak himself, Kirill Chelushkin. The latter, incidentally, was at least some-то semblance of eroticism. Which, as we recall, this time quite tightly.

Summary
 

Pros:
1. A good place (Gostiny Dvor).
2. A great directory. They had the sense to make not only pages contact galleries, and a full interview with gallery owners. That is not a directory, and magazine, which people worship. Brilliant idea @all - note.

Cons:
1. Excessive respectability.
2. The absence of most gallerists in the stands during a press-показа. Tired, apparently, before hanging.

Will add my penny.

I personally go to the exhibition made a desperate activity of the participants Cosmoscow in social networks. Just like to lead from the front: ready, stopped, hung, etc... Well, what to do, I had to go. And there, oops, all clean, apatenko, tsivilnenko. Where a riot of colors, ideas and temperament in the end? No... a satire on political life, what with the satire, even if their position @- tight and funky. With sex the same @- spiritual ties are so tight already all that is, that just like in the old days @- "В the USSR, no sex@."
And what's left? New forms, new themes, new/unusual materials? And this is not...
Yes, but clean, and apatenko. Who is interested and can go.
