Energy, work, soul, otherworldly forces, no one interested

Not to mention modern art, the names of the 20 th century artists became known because of their work they put energy and soul. And those who do not do today, and there is no trace. Same name can not suddenly become famous for no reason, no reason at all. This name should be something to create. Previously, it was the idea, today it is PR.

Generally this is something postmodern: protect the reputation of the court. That is, with all the hype posited, attracting attention and discussion "whether he stole a hat, or his hat ukali.

Here is what "Commerce":

The Moscow City Court yesterday upheld the decision Khamovniki Court, which in April 2008 rejected the claim on the protection of business reputation, brought by the leadership of the Tretyakov Gallery to the ex-Minister of Culture Alexander Sokolov. The reason for the trial was the statement of Mr. Sokolov on corruption leadership Tretyakov Gallery, sounded from the pages of the newspaper Moskovsky Komsomolets. The court found the statements of Mr. Sokolov's "private judgment.

Moscow City Court, yesterday, having considered the appeal of the Tretyakov Gallery guide decision Khamovniki court decided to reject it. Recall that the reason for complaint was the critical statements of Alexander Sokolov to the exhibition "Sots Art: Political Art of Russia from 1972 to the Present", published October 25, 2007 in the newspaper Moskovsky Komsomolets. " The exhibition was notorious because of some works, in particular "era of mercy", depicting two policemen kissing in a birch grove. Ex-minister called the exhibition "a disgrace for Russia" and accused the gallery of corruption. "This is the law of the market: if you are subscribed to the Tretyakov Gallery, then you automatically stand more - said publishing Mr. Sokolov - And it is an invasion of private capital into public policy, and it can be called nothing but a corruption." Management of the Tretyakov Gallery sued the ex-minister to court, demanding to admit his statements harming the reputation of the gallery. This separate suit for defamation filed by Mr. Sokolov, director of the Tretyakov Gallery, Valentin Rodionov, demanding to collect $ 1 USD. But then withdrew the claim.

In April 2008 Khamovnichesky court of the capital, where the lawsuit was filed, admitted statements of the former minister's private judgment, "which, by law, is not evidence in cases involving the protection of business reputation.

"I am always pleased when there is a triumph of justice, but in this case it happened - said yesterday the decision of the Moscow City Court, counsel of Mr. Sokolov Mikhail Burmistrov .- As for the moral damage caused to Mr. Sokolov hype surrounding the case, then he will stay on their ( Tretyakov .- "Y") conscience. " Representatives of the plaintiff's comments yesterday abstained. "Until we get the preamble, we are not going to say anything," - told Kommersant lawyer Tretyakov Gallery, Alexander Makarov. However, according to counsel, the Tretyakov satisfied that "during the trial Sokolov gave up the words attributed to him in the newspaper, saying that he did not say." "We are satisfied that the court any evidence of corruption is not found, indicating that the defendant's allegation," - said "Y" Mr Makarov.

Allena, thank you. Strong, interesting and very accessible language article written by Catherine Tar.
That moment, which is like:
4. Violate a taboo, unless you are prepared for the consequences. Including a speech at an open process that can change society. The provocation is not so bad, that provokes, and the fact that at this stop.

Violate a taboo can and should be for the sake of a great social purpose. If it needs to part with the art, with him to leave. So did Hans Haacke in his famous research projects, to expose a policy sponsor in American museums: this is a purely journalistic project. And great work of the artist.


Who knows what the famous story by Hans Haacke?

I thought of all listed intrigue - a lot more women as physically weaker sex ... But now everything upside down, you can not tell from someone hu
But organizers of public events should still be aware of what can cause these or other exhibits, take into account the degree of society's willingness to accept the proposed for display. What seems normal to some other boxes and offends their feelings. Society uniform. For some - the art, for others - a provocation.
