How to unleash the artist

[Vladimir]

http://www.artchronika.ru/item.asp?id=1769 Interesting interview with Elena Selina. It would seem that things are well-known, but still useful to once again spread out all on shelves.

The new generation of artists such no, but my peers, if they listen to - all "themselves have done." It's touching to watch a film about edakii Cinderellas who were starving in the 1990's (as if they alone), worked and - suddenly - it came to international success. There is no Cinderellas without fairies. In the case of the Russian artists around each - the team of fairies. Galleries, curators and critics. Do not deceive ourselves, without our international "old Derzhavin" you would simply not noticed. Would notice only small dealers.

Q: And what did not happen such success stories?

A: None. And miracles are not forthcoming. Without triad "gallery, curator and critic" did not take place. The artist should be interesting to criticism, the curator - to take work at the exhibition, the gallery - to show at fairs. Nothing else is needed. Practice shows: you begin to display artist at international fairs - the work is rapidly becoming in demand. And vice versa. Interestingly, this also affects the Russian collectors. If an artist sells out of the shop, but his life is not present triad - I doubt the success of its "small business". It is a pity that ethics does not allow me to voice in the pages of the term, which I call the art of this type. This in our gallery will be no more.
