Detailed Description and the terms of participation - online http://www.openklub.ru/about

I've already talked to some collectors who were going to participate in it. Some arguments in favor of this project would like to quote here .
They say : - What is each active collector of contemporary art over time accumulates some " surplus " that sell cheap pity expensive is not as easy to store and do not feel like a dead weight . Here it would be good to gather somewhere and be able to communicate well, such as these " assets."
I do not know how this is relevant to a wide range of collectors here and see .
Or maybe I'm just not right , and the important thing here is something completely different , well, all the more so see the 25th.
