"Comasco" today is the only Russian contemporary art fair. No one else did. And for this alone the organizers deserve respect.

The work done is huge. And see, of course, there is something.

But.

What we expect from contemporary art fair? Diversity and innovative works. As well as first and second names. To direct to come and sigh. And that's not okay. Design of stands, design, project, quality hanging and other attributes of expensive feed is by and large conventional collectors on the drum. That is fine if it's all there. But not the point exactly.

Heard that this year Cosmoscow imposed a limit of "one gallery – no more than two artists." It probably gave more order, discourage the desire to hang out all the bins and gave a neat appearance. On the other hand likely to get into a niche audience has decreased dramatically. And opportunities to sell, probably, too. And overall, those who remember defunct Art-Moscow, diversity is just not enough. And crazy too.

Liked: archive with Tony Matelli and Chubarov, Savina with Kawarga (steep reliefs), neftekompany in the Gallery 11.12, Sergey Karev from East gallery, Kazakh artists. Overall, this time most looked the sculpture.

To go? Yes. Primarily in that case, if the exhibited artists, the creativity of which you follow. Please note that the fair will last until Sunday, September 13. Only three days, not as an Antique shop. Held in Gostiny Dvor, 4 th entrance.
