Chambers ask off "15.12.09
Last week the House of Culture Barvihinskom oligarchs awarded a prize by Kandinsky. On her artistic outcome of all the already written. But modern art - it's still not about artistry, but about the Life of rich and famous - just a couple of years, the most "sovrisk, he's" kontemporarschina, became compulsory secular, and where Dasha with "garage" , and Mary with the pope and "Red October".

"Chip" as the trend that the largest operator beau monde - Club Prime Concept, including earning and oligarchic organization techniques - personally invested dinner in honor of the prize, not even walk your guests through the owner. Fairy-tale heroes "included" in contemporary art with "huge denzhischami tyschami", and because secular critics are forced to dissect this phenomenon.

Kontemporari-product (it is - the same installation, video art, he is the target) - this is not the great masters of painting, and something like a mutual fund, futures, or barrel. And if they could manage this PIFom - motivate, critics, curators, PR - something out of nothing will grow and gain something to give an absolutely legitimate - no Antimonopoly Service fails to present for the Inside and machinations. What is absurd and disgusting product, the more the fog around him can catch up - to explain, chew, napet in the ears and inflate the price. This is a very complex and is absolutely legal system is making money out of thin air.

Humanly, I hate not only modern art, I do not like his fans. In my opinion, almost all of them superficial, hypocritical, some "usheltsy" - cold amphibians undead. And we have such - nelyubiteley passionate lovers of contemporary art - enough. But we have all one Waterloo - owner of the Kandinsky Prize, a passionate lover of contemporary art Shalva Breus. For it came at a premium Kandinsky at least a third of the hall.

In the narrow range of secular tales of heroes is that Shalva knows something about life: it is brilliantly finished economic faculty of Moscow State University, he was the first in the USSR, translated by Vladimir Nabokov - the story "The Forgotten Poet" for the magazine Chess Review, he translated French poetry. In the early nineties, was invited to breakfast with Bush Sr., and at the same Rupert Murdoch called him at work. In short, the former deputy minister - enlightened oligarch and mothers chelovechische. Hypothesis "snookered by curators" and "ohmurili gallerists" there is not a rental. And if highly educated, talented, consistent and passionate people are not just investing in contemporary art, but also "radiates" from him, then maybe this really is something there, but we do not understand?

Guests Breus, reaching the Barvikha, showed respect the owner, and their eyes lit up the cry, the issue of "Pokrovsky Gates:" Sawa, writing something for you - what is all this necessary? "Representatives of the artists at the closed Rublevke not stand for them to the Belarusian railway station filed a special neat art-train to Barvikha. (Fellow Travelers later claim that the special train, manned by art bohemia - is stronger than Goethe's Faust, especially on the way back.)

As a result, creative people come to Barvihinsky culture house before anyone else and before the arrival local time to drink almost all the whiskey and brandy, and, apparently, eat all the glasses. Therefore, the capacity for the banker Aven Shalva Breus had to look in person.

The ceremony. In the foyer was turning his "Action" - there were security guards sitting in their suits. (Many of the oligarchs for two or three bouncers.) They share with each other frugal phrases. "Come in large numbers" journalists immediately took them for major baryg - as it is well known that the oligarch - a pood fists, tailored clothes and bull neck. Art-bohemians, wander over the DC, too, was pleased - so pleased that the rich faces a brick, or whether the case - we are highly spiritual. Meanwhile, these sharks of capitalism looked like browsers magazine "New Yorker". For example, a close friend of Mr Breus banker Peter Aven discharge in honor award almost to the nines, though never before seen in dandyism was not. Banker asked, after which he is so damned good, and he answered that he was going hunting.

Registration of the scene it seemed amusing - stylish cell, cells with ethno-jazz, flashing something - almost "The Adventures of Electronics". Leading Leonid Parfenov consistently beautiful, to hack-work did not fall, and its product - a roller-overture to Kandinsky Prize - was witty and laconic. Then came to the stage like a Valentine Tolkunova American kuratorsha with leaves in their hands. Her name was Valerie Hillings. Next to it was locked to Russian translator. He "made the evening" to everyone, including employers. And if the head of the "Kandinsky" would be converted in their time, Nabokov, and the arrows between Solntsevo and Podolsky, a translator with his tongue cut out in the spring would find in the forest belt.

Valerie Hillings detail zanudnichala. Translator irrelevantly carrying nonsense. Suddenly through the semolina flashed a familiar word "Churchill". At the Churchill suddenly woke up a neighbor singer Nino Katamadze and loudly guffawed. For him reproachfully turned Deputy Minister of Culture Pavel Khoroshilov. Shalva Breus translator labeled Brevusom. At the end of the twentieth somewhere Pages rapporteur flew out of his chest, like a big bird, God's name Putin. Hall sobbed hysterically. Almost doublets fluttered and surname Medvedev, and the audience clapped hysterically. Sketch "Hillings - translator" could be recognized миленько ridiculous, if you do not know that this is the most tiresome Valerie had just received from one of the emirates is not a ridiculous budget for the purchase of contemporary art - $ 600 million more than half a yard - there can be no laughing matter, restless thoughts are obsessed - that this chicken will do with the money? How to learn? There will be a "tyrevo" by us?

Tuva boy Eugene Antufiev - the author of works from the hair of mother and sister - thanked his mother and sister, apparently, by the hair. And he began to tell his dream, and again, not the night be remembered, appeared Putin and Medvedev. Following creators explained that as a result of their work get something "disturbing". Each laureate strove to speak. "Artists do not own quite timekeeping", - said Leonid Parfenov. Indeed, when is a modern artist, it's terrible. And because the language should be cut off not only the interpreter, but all artists, because a good artist - a mute artist, and the ceremony of "Kandinsky" is proved.

About one nominantok - Alexander Frolov - with its giant love gun, rings and raznotsvetitsey reminiscent of children's pyramid, excellent writer said Yegor Prosvirnin: "Imagine an above average user of the site" Li.Ru "which decided to postpone simpaffki and pozitivchik in real-latex form . In fact, all three submitted by the project merit a maximum of one post on the "fishkahnet" with a dozen smaylovyh comments "rzhaka!".

For the art community in this "rzhake" was a lively affair: who gets the wooden Collider or cargo container? We, the spiritual bankruptcy, lop-sided struggle between iPods and waste tanks was up lantern. The main prize would give the man who once invented esemeski. I only sent in the first half-hour-twenty, and all such as: "Where is poured?", "How much does a banquet?"; "Where a banquet?"; "Valim or uncomfortable?", "OK, roll forward and back.

In the middle of the ceremony from the hall neatly smylsya Pyotr Aven. Then also neatly returned. Then again. Who had gone on the trail found that one of the VIP-angles from the floor was poured. In another corner were found Uliana Zeitlin and "Forbes" Boris Belotserkovsky, also improves ppm. Alexander Gafin managed to download surpluses before the ceremony, and because the events were moved by it.
The winner in the main nomination Vadim Zakharov on stage rolled a philippics that in a nearby restaurant just did not get trays with creme brulee. When handing out a prize to Eugene Antufieva venerable artist Boris Orlov and quiet gentle voice, the people pass, after it was felt an inner strength and dignity. When reproved Zakharov, wanted to shout: "It is beautiful to lay down, sleep with words!" Art community nevertheless it Zakharova reprints and regarded as a milestone and fatal.

Zakharov said that first prize would have given him no, but artist Andrey monastery, surely, they say, it is unclear who is who in contemporary art! I had decided he did or raspolovinit, or transfer, without departing from the cashier, or the pathos becomes sifflet, but - right now - Fools derbanit soroket no.

And on the figure. Forty thousand euros - is for the art award of Russia a lot. Forty - it is not five or even seven, is more than the State Prize in this field. In addition, the first place will bring the artist to not bother with those filthy corrupt gallery owners, who only know that Fiakam yes Basel shorkatsya. Vadim Zakharov thugs, denounced and accused, but never said the word "thanks". He thanked the jury or, either the owner's premium, which in these same forty pieces and fork.

In the hall attended major collector of contemporary art Viktor Bondarenko. Once one of his phrases became airborne. "Lena, - said Mr. Bondarenko, his young lady - who takes money from the old fag, he still fag. Who accuses, convicts and presents, but that does not scruple to take the good, is a patented, well, ask the collector Bondarenko, who.

In the final speech, Vadim Zakharov said: "I was not lobbied, no gallery, no collector, neither Russia nor the West." And again, I just do not brutalized: Well, I think you and the fruit! Old-timers well remember how at the dawn of mast years, one of the first Moscow contemporary art began to take a spouse Forbes Igor Kesaeva Stella Kay. And she had a fairly well-known gallery Stella Art. Gallery this with Vadim Zakharov very worn. Actively exposed him promoted. Stella Kay even made him an exhibition in the Tretyakov Gallery. And then the staff "Stella" in private conversations began to say that the artist they just "merged" and even thank you for all the things done is not told.

"I hope that I won it for the position of" independent artist ", not the piece of wood and videos" - on that high note stands finished, and guests, including Marc Garber, Alexander Lyubimov, Valentin Yudashkin, Viktor Bondarenko and Peter Aven, rushed to the private supper club Prime Concept in Restaurant Avenue. Along the way they approached Shalva Breus and shook his hand. From handshake to handshake face host darkened. And the tenth lord his fingers Breus warned: "If somebody tells me that the ceremony" a little bit prolonged, then get in the forehead. Chambers I still beg off. And it was good so I will go between the eyes. "
