To destroy this building can not be! This magnificent building! He has a great potential for increasing the area through the patio and the space between the columns. And the building has a comfortable and beautiful.

Agree! It simply must be put in order and disperse the small shopkeepers ....

Saturday's release of a TV channel "Culture"

Time of decision-making about the fate of the Central House of Artists is still ahead. However, for members of the Confederation of artists they "vitally" important. The philosophical question "to be or not to be" for them is narrowed to "live or not live." Once the area of CHA were designed so that it is possible to transform the space under the revolutionary ideas of artists. Now those walls are easily adapted for commercial ideas. Correspondents of "News of Culture" were held today along the walls of art galleries, and between stores in the same territory.

The house painter of his regulars called art business center or even a "supermarket of art. Here is the whole infrastructure - freight elevators for large works, convenient access and so on. Galleries and exhibitions occupy 9 thousand square ekspometrov. Total per year are carried out up to 300 events, and the Christmas Fair - one of the largest and most profitable. These commercial projects have begun in the 90's. They sold even coat. Now on the shelves in the main "objects of applied art". Although they belong to the art - at times, controversial.

Yuri Podporenko, assistant chairman of the International Confederation of Unions of Artists: "This area, in general, sufficient discussion. The measure here - artistic taste and the fact that those involved in experienced staff and art historians.

Organizers say that to get expo-place is not easy. There are regular sponsors of participating fairs. He and preference. Product attractive and running. And visitors are satisfied.

Professional artists such consumer goods not to their liking. But CHA - a huge building, it should contain, and no support from the state budget. Therefore, without commerce is necessary.

Alex Suhovetsky, People's Artist of Russia: "Business of use and then help and serious art shows. Because the display of works of art - it is very expensive mechanism.

By the way, the exhibitions of the Union of Artists of Russia and the International Confederation of Unions CHA earns a little - for representatives of art, which does not cause problems, the rent is low. And the artists have an opportunity here to show off their creations and, importantly, to sell them. Thus, the CHA - the largest employer in Russia's art. And around feeding the countless street vendors.

Arthur Radukan, artist: "We have this live feed and the family. Therefore, if drive us out, it significantly affect our financial situation.

Counterfeit, copy or plain bad taste can be found both outside and inside the CHA. To acquire works of art or a parody of them, and how much to pay for it - the decision of customers. This is a normal commerce, say the artists, the usual market with multiple offers and only one censor - personal artistic taste.

The course, that tomorrow, that is, on Sunday at 15.45 near the Park of Culture will be another rally against the upcoming demolition of CHA?
Although, as said Vasily Bychkov, moving CHA will osuschestvlyatsmya only after the construction and commissioning of the new building through the Garden Ring. Promise that it will be exactly 1.5 times the old and more modern. Doubts, of course, there :) "And then give the old building of the Moscow Government. And already there - underground parking, shopping centers, etc. etc.

I've not understand what is so great edifice.
But the fact that there will be then after the demolition and reconstruction occur with CHA (a GTG - all, in general, worry) - it certainly really inspires.

As for the Tretyakov Gallery, last week was to "freshen" exposure. Previously - a month ago - on another "not renewed". Well ... I'm not talking about the exhibits, of course. But frankly, these things could be arranged quite differently, much more modern space. And people would be more confident. Now - 2,5 Rights of force.

IMHO the building is hopelessly outdated, does not decorate the urban landscape, takes too much potentially usable space in the center with convenient access ...
Pull yourself together! yard ХХ1 century, to contemporary art needs modern exhibition space! With the recent technological advances, the opportunities for the disabled, like everywhere else in the advanced world!
Imagine how many you want, you can create interesting things in this huge area!

LORART, I do not understand. I remember when it was just built (for ten years was in the process, maybe more?), Have all said that the project is hopelessly outdated. Therefore, all the talk about the legacy of the great architect of the Soviet modernity Sukoyan think baseless and cunning. Inside - just trouble. I happened once to wander through the local cellars. "Storage". Ghastly! Everything flows. Suffocation. The doors are narrow. Freight elevator - one.
Short.
If you want to get rid of boring your favorite works of art - bring it to us in the CHA. We know what to do with him!

Absolutely agree, the building does not fit into the existing architectural ensemble and it seems from the outside to the logistics warehouse. It must be demolished and the sooner the better.

Demolish it should be no earlier than the construction and relocation GTG-Arts & Humanities twentieth century and CHA in new buildings.
And the construction of new buildings for some reason referred to in the last turn.
There are all sorts of thoughts and fears. Here are a just and sounded. Many believe that until better to have the old building CHA, than a new construction site of a family of billionaires Baturin and Tretiyakovsky pictures in any kind of stock.
