New project "Supermarket" - the art market without glamor
 

Interesting article on the site OpenSpace.ru
-------------------------------------------------- ----
Artist-run space - a common practice overseas organization of galleries and exhibition halls by the artists - has a rich history in our country. Gallery in Tryokhprudny, "Baumanskaya-13", "France" - all these were pure artist-run spaces. One of the last places in Moscow, where the practice has successfully existed, became a cultural center "Art-Arrow. After closing out slid almost all the galleries, as co-owner of one of them, Maxim Ilyukhin (gallery «ABC»), decided to organize the fair, which could combine such mikroinstitutsii, enable artists to sell their work and would be a statement on the subject. Talk to him ARTEM long-eared bat.
- How did the idea of the project "Supermarket"? What is it and who its authors?

- In February of this year, I traveled to Sweden to participate in the fair, which is called Supermarket. It must be said that Sweden has a great Contemporary Art Fair Market. And a few years ago, it was decided to make a completely different and totally fair alternative, which was named Supermarket. In Market involved the major players - known galleries, dealers, museums, public institutions, and the Supermarket - a meeting place for small galleries. Most of her before artist-run spaces. That's Supermarket and became an example for me and starting point for work on a "supermarket".

I began to invite the expert advice - to create a concept and a sample list of participants - except for me, it included Stas Shuripa, Lisa Plavinskaya and Anton Litvin. Gradually, this became an expert advice to the organizing committee fair "Supermarket".

- Why you felt the need for such a fair and why it is in Moscow?

- Based on my personal experience, of course. We participated in "Art-Moscow" for three consecutive years, and - above all emotionally - I felt very comfortable there: my relationship with the audience, with neighbors I was always not satisfied. And when I went to the Supermarket, I realized what should be fair of contemporary art that I enjoy and practical benefits from participation in it. We're all going to those companies where we are pleased to visit, right?

An interesting initiative, but completely untalented otreklamirovannaya. Many learned about the "supermarket", when it was already too late. Worked 4 days, with paralleolno Art Moscow, the opening of the Biennale, special projects ... Is it done? So sorry, happy to have descended to such a thing. There is a chance that the idea will be replicated.
Once again I call - who in the course, write in advance of the forum, and since it gets in the news site.
PS C title does not agree. Glamor - this is not the degree of neatness, and mindset, a set of motivations. Today, it is easily combined. In the sense that you can be brazen, drunken and ragged, but are quite glamorous.

recommend to read this forum :-) In this section, this topic is already open before me, a reference to this article is available. And zero times.

Maybe unify?

From you something and learned, but it was too late. Tell me, what was the price. Asked?

No, was not and could not find photo reports. I learned only that the organizer of partying on a similar exhibition in Stockholm, where, and brought the idea. Applications in Stockholm accepted until October 15, and the supermarket will be in February. And what was exhibited and sold, and how do-it-yourself would like to know ..

Applications are accepted from galleries such as artist-running and unification of the artists.
A 4-day probably, Izvestia gave so much of the territory. Or so it was inexpensive.

Uniting the two themes

I do not understand why you need this service store. Fair, only on-budget, and are weaker than the Art Moscow?
I would like that would be a presentation of art evolved a bit in another direction. Today, for example, design showcases, bought designers, because there is an understanding that this is important! And art, for some reason, they are driving the "supermarkets".

mass of artists can not get into the gallery - or they are not talented or their ideas do not seem interesting galleries.
Thus the viewer suspended contact the artist. To establish such a contact, r e for unformatted, misunderstood, and the authors conceived a supermarket. Theoretically, the price of such a fair should be very low.

Pobyuzhetnee - this is important. At the Art Moscow - dray prices. Less than five euros difficult to find something. And because some customers, it is important to realize that they participate in the opening of the artists who make history, showing visions rather than follow in the wake of someone's tastes.
