Thank you, these projects are impressive. "Horizon" is good. Moscow to the sculptures on the roofs do not like to get spectacular ...

Muscovites must be like. In general, the forthcoming review of the arts will be more interesting earlier. Judging by leaking information about special projects. And on Monday will know more - in the garage will be a press conference about the Biennale.

I did not expect to find such illustrative examples of price, so missed. But what is interesting - such growth figures from the valve full swing sold at auctions worldwide. In the past year (in October) at Sotheby's sold a few pieces in a series of Domain (such as on-site) at a price of 160 thousand pounds commission. Solid anthropomorphic sculptures sold in this year and last in the range of 150-250 thousand euros.
And that's quite interesting: The Angel of the North, a giant sculpture with a wingspan of more than 5 meters last summer Speaker I (1 July 2008) at Sotheby's was sold for 2.02 million pounds of commission. So there!
In short, when visiting the exhibition to be careful. Price question - about 160 thousand pounds for each "fighter".

In St. Petersburg Manege exhibition of photographs by Yuri Rosta. He, too, can say, photographed volunteers. And he commented. All impressive, and the pictures and texts, all with talent. But besides this, there is still a sense of ownership of all submitted, is a portrait of the era. Finding Gormley not mediocre, not so to speak, but does not leave the impression that it was merely "amusing" that the "new" is already so much that "kontemporari" only, and are looking for, what else is to think (as a criticism of society) ... Perception is too refined ...

It is noticed that the world must be good "shake" to a new vanguard. Art blooms in a crisis (financial not good, his cheerful stronger processes). So it may well ... let him live "refined"

Also do not know very much. I asked because Gormley - under this program. Project curator Jean-Hubert Martin, the other - Olivier Varenne and Joseph Backstein. Support official. III Moscow Biennale. Enough of special projects. From what I read the twisted idea that "kontemporari" off scale, the dominance of the curators, etc. Therefore, "Against Exclusion", the press, too, already have. Many of the guests and almost all areas of Moscow deployed for different projects. Type in Google against exclusion "and quit on their official website. Galleries also invited.
