So. None of the witnesses, it seems, does not want to share. So have yourself. That's what I learned today from my great friend of the wonderful artist giperrealista Sergei Bazileva. He was born in Kiev, often goes there, and in general they believe his Ukrainian artist, even though 30 years had he lived in Moscow.
So, this is not the Center and the Museum of Modern Art. The difference, like, in that pinchukovskom Center - art, as they say, post-revolution (the orange revolution has in mind), but here, at the Museum - the whole 20 century. That is, with Repin and Serebryakov (Ukrainians and they consider their own) are supposed to attend. And so - a huge, gorgeous, soverschenno contemporary and technically impeccable equipped building. At the exit from Podol up the street, next to St. Andrew's descent (as I explained the location of the root from Kiev). Total area - "as in the garage. Two upper floors - a permanent exhibition. The first is for exhibitions.
At the opening, according to Sergei, was the entire rave Kiev, people firmly stood shoulder to shoulder (even though they have at this day, 17 th, it began to snow, and there was traffic jams), alcohol was - even drown, gave even hotter. It all ended in 2 hours of the night.
Owner of all this splendor, - a kind of Sergei Tsipko. Oligarch. Lives, like in Switzerland or Austria. With Pinchuk - opinion-leader of the Ukrainian art space - is in a great relationship.
