Here's my more detailed account of what was there yesterday :

I do not know why suddenly , but wanted to start his report a direct quote from the great works: - "One day in the spring , at the hour unusually hot sunset in Moscow, Patriarch ... " but quickly coped with this desire , because everything is so , but not quite . Not in the spring and in the fall , not hot and rainy and not at the Patriarch , and in Spiridonovka .
So in Spiridonovka 9/2 in the premises of the " Open outdoor club " yesterday at 19:00 started a new project called "Open Collection " gist of it is that every two weeks on Wednesdays , collectors will be opening its store to present part of his collection guests of the Club , to share with other collectors , talk about the principles and methods of collecting , suggest beginners buy anything at special prices .
Two months before that , having learned about the idea of creating a club , I'm in discussions to implement it appeared not to the enemy, but a moderate skeptic. Are there some collectors who want something to change, and if there is then what? Surely some useless crap and so on . This moderately skeptical mood I entered the club and gasped: - full of people , all the people of the right , the atmosphere , the walls , talking, painting (mostly graphic) what the doctor ordered - without a moment's regret that he came . Even without knowing anyone , it is still interesting , the space is small, but comfortable . Comfortable in the first place so that you always find yourself in a circle of interesting conversation . Right-to- left, front-to- rear, opinions, questions , answers, stories - well, what you need for the interested person.
And most importantly - the participants did swap , buy and sell each other's work . I do not remember such a living movement of interested people . And more importantly - it's not a flea market slipped unnecessary nonsense . How can you call this nonsense Chubarova excellent graphics , for example, that really sold at very good prices. In short what I saw this absolute success . Certainly a great sign that the idea is correct , but implementation is more than worthy . Of course let's see how things will develop further, but while we congratulate the organizers on a successful start .

No word embellished .
