In Kiev burned gallery Gudimova
 

On the night of 30 September in Kiev burned gallery Gudimova Street Voloshskaya.
September 25, 2009 in Gallery I through III of literary and artistic festival Kiev barricade held debate propaganda of homosexuality or promoting tolerance? The meeting discussed a ban by the Ministry of Culture public kinoprokata comedy "Bruno" Sacha Baron Cohen and publication of an anthology of international gay and lesbian literature "120 pages of Sodom", published in the Moscow publishing house critics.

According to the curator and owner of an art center Paul Gudimova, institution has suffered serious material damage. "But the moral trauma that I experienced, my staff and all those who for their own means of creating a modern cultural environment, much more serious. After all, in a sense, an event that happened last night, - symbolic. Because of the cultural centers to fight easily. Hard to do things that deal with art centers: to explain how important it is to be here and now ", - he said.

At the same time Gudimov promised that the art center opens after repairs required, and urged anyone who has information about possible arson, contact the police.

Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Ukraine has banned the distribution and demonstration of the comedy "Bruno", arguing that the film "Bruno:" contains artistic undue exhibition of genitals and relationships, homosexual acts in a frankly naturalistic form, displaying homosexual perversions, obscenities, manifestations of sadism , antisocial behavior that may harm the moral education of citizens .. "

  Completely on the side of the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine, gallery Gudimova itself ran into trouble ... "Ni содомії!"-Good words.

They discussed the events that occur in the country, in the cultural plane. Think we can do this?

It is possible, but not in Ukraine, let them do it in America, Holland, Denmark and so on. When I go to Armenia, and thence turn on the television, I see how Armenians sing rock, the more wretched spectacle, I can not imagine. Each nation has its own cultural space, and do not break it. For God's sake do it in countries where this is possible, because they never fail to do so in Iran, or Iraq, I am certainly not comparing the Ukraine and Iran, but more recently in Ukraine, women are not sitting at one table with men, or that well - something similar. And then these material costs incurred by them, can not be compared with advertising that they made themselves. For you see, the forum heard Gudimova gallery. There was an impression that in Russia and Ukraine can be everything.

If it were not for the fire, would not know ...:)

Lost again: North Korea, the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya ... : D

And you have all felt? The enemy would not wish such advertising.
And the forum there are different people, some famous artists in the first to discover .. For me, after several months of existence, the gallery was clear that this is one of the best galleries in Ukraine.
Pasha is doing really what you want, and as needed. I met him after the foundation galleries, and I can say that I was very pleasantly surprised by how he manages to embody the ideals that everyone's talking, but when confronted with the reality of lower hands.

In Kiev, the gallery and the fire was not known. The question is rather different. In Ukraine today is a company with a limp election talentless PR. Events clearly not enough.
Without half a liter here is not to understand.

In today's environment, and doing advertising, I'm not saying that they were burned, but after the fire, they want to squeeze everything possible out of this situation. Even in the worst situation, there are positive sides. And then, they are not fools, they obviously knew what they were going, and probably figured out, if not a fire, what kind of noise they entail. And then what about the ideals you speak?

Bruno-ban ridiculous, a collection of writers-gay, entitled "120 Days of Sodom" is also very funny, as if the writers have nothing else to do, how to include under that name Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire "?
That burned-sad.
The fact that no one was hurt - well.
and PR? What is our life? PR!
What gallery know a good thing. True photo exhibition of paintings, a young man with an erection once the novelty does not shine, and many have already seen ...:-)

The fact that Ukraine copies throughout Russia (Russia banned Borat), including violence - do not know too happy or not ...
