Exhibition "Banality and Infinity" in gallery "Triumph"

[Vladimir]

Let me remind you that the gallery "Triumph" - the first and the only one that brought to Moscow Damien Hirst. I mean, not the individual work, and the exhibition and the master himself. Act that was organized as a secret special operation, only for their own. But does not change - plank is raised, bunched. Big responsibility. How to make a new film after "Office Romance" or "irony of fate". In general, it is difficult. And if you follow the path of fashion based on import substitution and domestic producers, it is difficult to order.

Until September 15, 2009 in "Triumph" exhibition is "Banality and Infinity. Curator (and major exhibitor) - artist Gosha Ostrecov. Exhibitors included EliKuka, Dasha Krotov, Jora Litichevsky and Luda Konstantinova.

Broadcasting format "Triumph" I personally very likable: the co-owner is not afraid to take in the work material is bold, challenging and provocative - to do what can be called a "slap in the face of Public Taste. The problem is that with such a distinct format from artists tempted to respond to the demand.
The problem of the "elusive" similarities with the ideas of Western-known artists today is not dramatized. First, because the music just seven notes. Secondly, to ignore the world's artistic process inadvertently - to reproach themselves will. And thirdly, because all the "dirty" hints neutralized fine curatorial phrases like "in this project the artist enters into a dialogue with such a master." Well, the dialogue because the dialogue. Why not talk? Why, even with the same Hurst, not to the night will be remembered ... What do we have? Medicine - a new religion? Or swine influenza - a new religion? Right, that done with irony, without inflating the cheeks and the pathos of an innovative mission. Such talk may well turn out.
