The nine winners of the annual premiums are then averaged over contemporary art that is not trying to disturb the soul, delight the eye and not even trying to entertain. Just fill in the empty space of the exhibition halls mock-ups of modern windmills (the product of Didier Marcel drive the motors), colorful pyramids, resembling the feces or mud, but more about the candy (children's joke Boris Ashura), kipelno-white, slightly modified the proportions of models of buildings , similar to the boats ( "Architecture of the soul" Christophe Berdagera and Marie Pezhyus).

The exhibition is the installation - Mircea Cantor, for example, threw a green table ping-pong brown egg shells, which the feet of spectators turned into sand. There are photos - Natasha Lezyuer decorates going under small volcano, and then takes off nicely. There are also videos - very nice animation Mircea Cantor, with a slight hint at meaning. And all together it creates an exhibition that was created, it seems, out of nothing - as presented in her work sterile.

Organizers believe that the exhibition "generally gives a fairly clear idea of the modern French art, and not telling the whole story, and not just the French.

Such a quiet, moderately decorative, moderately masterovitogo and accurate to the best of contemporary art in the world a lot. Thus, in the century before last was a lot of marine landscapes, but in the past - abstract compositions and also encouraged them respectable patrons, eager to distinguish artists nederzkih, in all respects pleasant. So now when something shocking and wonder sontemporary art became a matter of habitual, non-irritating and avoiding scandals. When the scandal is - is, of course, unpleasant and doubtful, but when they do not - boring.

Let's be honest, after watching this French exhibition is a vague feeling of dissatisfaction. It would be desirable, as they say on another occasion, catch up, add. And then you think: How nice that it happens at Winzavod, where many galleries and exhibitions are everywhere.

Let each of them does not leave strong impressions, but if you look a lot in a row, the satisfaction in the end will come. Here at the Gelman exhibition is now sharp little, and XL - although about eroticism, but fresh. However, experience can muster. So, they say, in kefir have a couple of degrees of alcohol and theoretically it can be a little get drunk if you drink a lot.
