Reports from the Winery: Regina, MJ Gelman, Aidan, ArtKvartal, Start
On Tuesday, went to the opening of the project Victor Alimpiev "Magic crunch" in the gallery at Regina Winery. Artist complicated, not much for everyone. Glory of him is a long time, experts and curators of the soul is not chayut. From ordinary viewers say that all the end realized, few dare. But power is felt.
"Magic crunch" - an exhibition of video works the same. It is organized properly, without distractions. Through the gateway, which cuts off light, the viewer enters a dark room, the bench in the middle and two screens on opposite walls. On each screen, the actress reads a monologue and enhances tone is simple, but strenuous movements.
Action is the official explanation, but, honestly, it does not help much. When pass through itself, you see his picture. Sometimes a man steeped in the idea of suddenly starts talking to himself. Emphasizes the idea, or vice versa distracted. From the side looks like something unintelligible. Intellectual begins chant obscenities, beach passes to the blank verse - the specifics of the psyche, immersed state. External manifestations - only the echoes of the heavy internal experiences. Video for some reason reminded of this. Photograph - pointless. Spec say that the viewer decides to watch or not for the first 20 seconds. Here it works, everything has been done to the viewer cling.
