In the CHA is 14-I "Art-Moscow"
09.24.2010 /Julia Vinogradova
---------------------------------------------
Overall impression of the fair: there are almost no conceptual art and a lot of decoration. It's just something with which the "Art-Moscow struggled during its formation. ...

... Maybe that's why the political or socio acute art at the fair is not at all.

... The advisory council of "Art-Moscow", which does not change over the years, aggressively lobbying for his own tastes and ideas about contemporary art.

I was a little long.
Will question the main thing: expert advice, finally began to understand musjrnoy heap, called his principles. And just a little promise. Ooooooochen little)))
Explain.
In general, no wonder why. "Iron Horse", once again takes the place of Dadaist horse)))
The fact that in many terminalogiii, and a forum - not the exception, is the proud name of contemporary art, as a rule, free from plastic shaped thinking on the traditions of painting, sculpture and graphics, but a different kind of action, having no practical or aesthetic purposes . In keeping with this trend (by the way, has long been outdated, dating back to the works of "beloved" by me Roger Fry .. Herbert Read, Clive Bell and other boys from the British Bloomsbury Group)
So what does all this for a long time - the dust ... The top of this trend (of dust), its total vector - actionism conceptualism and 50's, 70's). With this we are living, considering themselves fashionable and smart.
I certainly have an opinion on these "topical" areas, but in this case. It does not matter. It is important that conceptualism, which many people love so much and do not give offense to, in essence, can not be judged as art. The only thing that connects the conceptualist shares with the arts - what people are doing this activity, in habit, called artists. These men (there's nothing personal) has long passed unnoticed by them hell, limiting what can be called art.
Actually, "Art-Moscow" hopelessly retarded. Back in the late twentieth century (years already twenty) liberation of art from aesthetics and semantics has ceased to produce this intellectuals impression.
Yes, thirty years ago, visual evoked ridicule and criticism in the West, and our lumpen-art-extremists.
But after thirty years.
Descriptiveness is celebrating its return. Best and, really, actual work today, something portrayed.
This is another round of fine art, but "a return to the track" ...
Do not worry about yesterday, the more so that today (for example, "ArtMoskva"), as used to say, at the time, Leonid Brezhnev: "reveals the large reserves." In Russian, this means: we'll have again a lot of work, hours Toba get the result, because the current, no matter what will not do, that there did not buy the lumpen-buyer ...

to see something new and visually stunning one can only with difficulty. Floor above, "Art Moscow" exhibited nominees Kandinsky. According to the authors, would imply a good contrast, but in reality the opposite happened. Kandinsky Prize exhibition looks much more acute, interesting and fresh.

I find it difficult to agree with the conclusions. This comparison between the museum area and the fairground. Fair is required to be spectacular and varied. A museum - conceptual. Exactly the way it happened. Conclusions, I think, due to the fact that the newspaper format requires a critical eye. "All blame, no one is praising" - it sells better and more reassuring. At the Art Moscow were exactly the same names as on the Kandinsky Prize. Once all the work had cost.

Dear Vladimir, could you tell us a bit about the talented artist Martin Denker .. thanks in advance.
 

CHA, Room 1912, Martin Denker. Installation
Organizer - Magazine Fashion Collection.
German artist Martin Denker creates a effusively, personal, weird and vague visual image - a mix of surrealism, pop art and psychedelic art .....

I agree with throwing and add the following:
1) any work of traditional art narratively (of this thesis, we can deduce many consequences of different order) - so historically
2) rejection of the narrative - it desubektivizatsiya subject, its shizofrenizatsiya, and in this context - with a minus sign, "" negative "(for the lumpen, and obviously it is the most myakotka), this can be played (such as a razor), but result will remain disabled
3) each chooses his own art - and indignant about this makes no sense "The most important thing - to understand

IN DUST WE TRUST ...

Yes I too like it, but only as DPIshnoe product for walls.

And I visited. It seemed that the fair is strongly shifted toward painting and fine-was something to watch. It pleases.
Veterans cling to the concept Salakhova, Gelman and look naphthalene.
Most of all, as in the past year, I like Art + Art - eye rejoices. Immediately see the difference between Western and our product. West is working with materials and technology. Here is a Swiss-automotive enamel on polished aluminum, this house will not write-needed box-drying, spray guns - tens of thousand euros only for equipment and another room. Or one-enamel and resin, glass-texture looks amazing. And we all create sculptures from the broken stools with garbage and reinforcing wire.
The Japanese brought meditative images. Prices are hanging - 27 to 20 cm-46 thousand euros, larger-106 thousand euros of the same. Took the catalog the artist tried to retire, was stopped by polite Japanese, who pulled insistently on the directory itself back. Snapped a freebie! - Al, no .. it's author, wants to sign the catalog for me. Struck a black felt-tip pen, which turned out to be a brush. Hieroglyphics turned out - sight for sore eyes. Pictures painted on rice paper, traditional Japanese glutinous paint (gouache, probably).
Went to the advertised room lighting effects, images and music. It looks like a village disco. Go to the exhibition Muzyka.Moskva in Sokolniki - bring back all the latest equipment and engineers can work wonders. Again, the authors of the technique are not familiar.
Overall feel of the Art-Moscow-country holiday. Brought little import.

Yes, entrance 400 rub. And rightly so. For those who have realistic goals.

The results show summed up the magazine "Spark"

In the basement of the CHA is located "The most beautiful museum in the world." It is worth clicking the icon on the touch screen and the white walls of the projected works by Matisse, Kandinsky, Munch, Kokoschka in full size. This is a collection of the Museum Folkwang in Essen, Germany. Once Museum Folkwang famous for its collection of European modernism, but in 1937, 1,400 items were confiscated by the Nazis. Today the collection is scattered throughout the world, but the museum still keeps it in the computer memory and can be instantly "to place" along the walls of your favorite ghosts.
As usual, a nonprofit program of "Art-Moscow" hamming very fair. Of the art exhibited at this year's sale will create an ideal museum is not. The market has still not recovered from the crisis. 9,3 million earned fair in 2007, remain a distant dream of 2010 . At this time in the fair was attended by a total of 37 galleries. Their ranks have thinned considerably - the organizers of last year raised prices for their participation in "Art-Moscow", by selecting a specific method of resistance to Russian crisis. The first offended large galleries, which saw a 20 per cent of these allowances disrespect to their names and reputations. Now, a former banker and the largest gallery owner Vladimir Ovcharenko of the picture of Regina, along with his German counterpart Volker dilemma carpentry a new fair, which opens in December at the "Red October" and will be called Cosmoscow. said, there does not take all. Could there be a good place in Moscow, but no face control?
The main problem of the 14 th "Art-Moscow" - a loss of understanding of the consumer: who today, after the crisis still continues to collect contemporary art. Fair puts on new collectors and provide them with the conference, which invites curators from the Gagosian Gallery and the white cube and inertia Baibakova Masha, the daughter of the president "Onexim Development Oleg Baibakov and former galeristka. Just recently, she threw bored gallery business in Moscow and went to open a restaurant in London.
Right there, between the stands, walks, Marat Gelman. In the new image. Now he buys the exhibits for the Museum of Modern Art PERMM, which serves as a director. After devised Gelman fantastically successful exhibition "Russian Povera", the museum is only interested in works from the "poor" materials - scotch tape, debris, pieces of iron, pieces of wood. At the Art Moscow "with garbage problem - the rich still prefer the poor. Gallerists are still seen by nouveaux riches, greedy for fun works of art made of precious metals. Frolov gallery for the second year of selling great images - stacks of gold bullion German photographer Ralph Caspers. Last year, Frolov was already sold and sold. This year's sold again, the series still has a couple of prints. At this time the gold Caspers added another black caviar, bullets for Kalashnikov assault rifle and highlight the project, multimeter vertical picture million euros - neatly folded in a stack of bills on the 500. The artist says: the money of his own. Commercial gallerist intuition did not let down - the audience to fly to a million. Do not spend it, so look. The first print was sold for 50,000 euros. The second for 60 thousand. The third is already 70,000.
The number of tops "Art-Moscow" includes sculptures of Tony Cregg, China Herring and an absolute blockbuster - picture of the Chapman Brothers. It started with the digits 750 000 U.S. dollars. Price, seems to take into account and the picturesque ground - the work of Jan Brueghel, bought and ornamented Chapman. Earlier Chapman dorisovyvali watercolors and portraits of Hitler's little-known authors of the XIX century, but now they can afford to buy masterpieces. This postmodern reception broke the hearts of fans of the old masters. The audience at the fair compared the gesture of Jake and Dinos Chapman to act Alexander Brener, who in the late 90's painted green paint from spray painting a dollar sign on Malevich's "White Suprematism" from the museum Stadelik. Brener then planted, and Chapman, they say, bought the first day. Everyone has "the most beautiful museum."
