Let's talk about the participants of the exhibition "The lesson of history"? That's taking the guesswork.
I'll show you Kuzkina Andrew. He was about thirty years. Winner of "Innovation 2009" (in the "new generation"), "struck the imagination (jury members) performances, where he Mesilla feet concrete, yet that is not frozen." "Circling" - so called. You too impressed? For this he received 100,000 rubles.
Workshop inherited from his father Andrew - graphics. If you see his studio canvas, curl into rolls, let it do not worry: it is not his, and his stepfather (his mother Kuzkina went out again for my husband for Eugene Gore). As introduced in the situation itself Andrei? "Over the desk on the wall pinned wrapper chocolate" Alenka ". Right in the mouth Alenkin stuck bull.
http://www.openspace.ru/art/projects...s=all#comments «It would seem, artistic workshop - there must be work. But only a few cardboard boxes with inscriptions, dashes and tsiferkami hang on the walls.
"He graduated from the University of Kuzkin current print specialty" HTOPP "(" Artistic and technical design of printed materials ") in 2001. Printed materials designed the yes and continues to execute more technically than artistically. Models, rarely covers. A few years after the institute was still working on the enthusiasm - for the idea. Now, more for the money. For the idea now - the art ".
As events develop?
"I went once Andrew Kuzkin to Israel with his wife. A couple of years ago. Or rather, my wife went to Israel with Andrew Kuzkina. As Andrew himself a man not very elevating. He met there with Andrew Haim Sokol. And then Haim Sokol arrived in Moscow - to extract the glory of the artist. He suggested Haim Sokol Andrew also become an artist. So to start, finally displayed. Because, as you know, an artist who is not exposed, not an artist in full mere.Takovym "nehudozhnikom" Andrew to that moment for some time been. Drew guashki - for themselves. Portraits, landscapes. In such a "naive" manner. The portraits - round faces of relatives and friends. At the landscape - much of the sky. There are a whole series - "Windows". Just window. Behind them are basically the sky. Strong impression not produce. Guashki yourself and guashki. Draws a person, and good.
Gradually, his eyes went from that on to the fact that the closer. Instead of the sky in the pictures appeared earth. The one under your feet. With lumps of dirt, chewing gum ... Only the land. Nothing more.
In 2004, Andrew made a series of "sculptural landscape". The name, incidentally, quite arbitrary. In essence, this is such a strange sculpture: aluminum, lead, stone, hay. Among the sculptures - shoes, sunk in the cement, designed with the earth. Fusion of the nature. But the man who owned these shoes, they came from. "I'm in a moment realized that it was for me very stage has already passed." - "And then?" - "And then he began to paint with all sorts risunochki proektikami. I drew a couple dozen risunochkov with all sorts of ideas and simply walked on every gallery and asked what I do with it. Generally - how? Then he approached her Pyrkin, just off the street, and say: Now, tell the artist I am or not an artist? "
These same "proektiki" appreciated and Haim Sokol. Then he called Haim Sokol Andrew Kuzkina displayed to the press "Original".
