Let me start with my behavior alternative. One artist, with a fine art education, his handwriting, a long list of exhibitions and dealt with their affairs for many years, now exhibited in the Central House of Artists, the exhibition has given its very modest offer to the web - like, purely for his friends. I asked, why did not the story is told about the exhibition? - Why? it has no practical effect. - Well, at least a couple of photos ...- Do not need anything, it's quite a waste of time.
 This artist is right twice, the Internet has absolutely no impact on sales in the CHA, the second force during preparation and holding of exhibitions need to save.

Iksigon went the other way. As a true citizen of the Internet, he believed that popularity to the web somehow projected onto reality, if t e Iksigon - a popular artist on the Internet, then seeing him in real life, people will get his picture in larger quantities than if the artist was absolutely Iksigon unknown to the network, T e was just a painter offline. In fact, all purchases made during the exhibition were made on the basis of a spontaneous purchase, buyers have not had the concept of Iksigone, they just went and saw the work purchased. All.
 On the territory of the CHA has failed completely to Russian avant-garde line, no one needs, there is no one understands, the wall of Russian avant-squandering exhibition space. Zero response. Accordingly, the title "The Return of the black square" on what did not work, people did not understand the problems itself. And the words "Russian Avant-Garde," most people do not know.
 And what about work? Work quality and sincerity of painting, people are tired of fraud, of threading want something piece. The great success of portraits (unexpected for me).
 So I gave the Internet anything? Yes, given the luxury-human communication. For me personally, it is even more valuable than success in the form of some sales. Many Internet users have come and we met in person. If I did not write to the web, I would have been completely deprived of this. I look forward to continued dialogue.
  I also became acquainted with artists who are themselves exposed to CHA and at other venues, including the whole world. This is a special kind of artist, one might even say caste to enter into it, the artist, for example, must be able to move both morally and financially a couple of big shows with no sales at all, but it happens. They all know each other, than they can help, but the network their advice and information is not spread, which is typical for any purely professional community. This is one of the reasons why I deleted my last post ironic. Yes, by Internet standards, it was excellent and literary characteristic, rating. But I realized that I already belong to another pack, where such a description in another hlestkost Vernissage, even without the names and coordinates, is unacceptable.
On the commercial result of the exhibition, I can not say more than already said, repulsed the first week of rent. As sales are correlated with the total cost of the exhibition, I do not know, because it kept a record of expenses. It was decided to print a catalog, I was typing and not thinking about the economic feasibility. It was decided to rearrange the frames - to recover, recover, until straightened everything. Spend a lot of 3-5 thousand, how many were there? here was told today, we must pay for the light about 3 thousand, they just paid 10 thousand light rub .- madness. If an artist puts on show the process flow, it minimizes costs and wasted, based primarily on their immediate return. Prices have increased my work at times, the last purchase came in perfectly inoffensive prices.
 My future plans? sleep, get over it. I wrote two months, not pictures. Of course, the exhibition, contact with so many people have caused a sharp correction of all my views. I need to digest it all and decide what to do next. Exhibition of plans for the near future, I refused, although the proposals were.
