just seen in this continuation of the same sentiments as the author of the letter.

No, absolutely not connected with this. My opinion is that interest in contemporary art will inevitably grow. Another way is not there. And collectors are fixated on other segments, a lot of himself denied.
Another thing is that until it is broken in the mind to doterpet. And endure many market participants are already tired. Especially against the background of the success of the Chinese market, American, European.

When you nice gallery owner said that sends a portfolio beginning artists directly into the trash, then it sends this trash all their hopes on the Russian sovrisk.

So do not do everything. I think here it's not snobbery, and risk assessment. As with any start-apom. Many people prefer to buy at high prices have already taken place and continue the projects are guaranteed to earn money on them. But do not take risks. There are a lot of artists already in the cage, which you can work and earn money - and enjoy it. The task gallery owner - to earn, rather than open up new names. Open new names - too. But not in the first place.

I liked his comment, an honest statement of the absence of the desired result ...
Why is cooled to this art? Perhaps this: it first took up many of the young on a wave of opposition around the "soviet", ie political message was very strong, even closed their eyes that everything was imitative ... But when it took the development and genuinely creative movement and it turned out that we must match the name of creative "standards", the ... that's where the rub ... everything is already decided on the "groups", it does not overstep ... Internal politesse, dating, etc. And new artists, new ideas are competitors ... And as to buy and where art can exist at the time ... it's here already tried to discuss ...

Director of the Central House of Artists, CEO of Expo Park. Exhibition projects, conducting fair "Art Moscow", "non-fiction, antique shops and other fairs and festivals, Vasily Bychkov wrote a letter to the greeting and farewell to colleagues:

ARTMOSCOW - COSMOSCOW

I almost sincerely wish success to a new initiative called Cosmoscow. Why did almost - because, of course, there are some natural elements of confrontation with the competitive project. The more new, young and aggressive. About the aggressive do not know, but a new and competitive for sure. In general, good luck.
We are alone pulled it unprofitable business. This mission was to support the weak art market. I mean, as the fairground project. Other forms of this support, of course, exercise and Shalva Breus, which, for example, publishes "ArtChronika and making huge money in the Kandinsky Prize. Joseph Backstein for many years teaches students to contemporary art and makes the Moscow Biennale. Stella Kesayeva contains Stella Art Foundation, and Daria Zhukova, Roman Abramovich - the project "garage". There are many other infrastructure in relation to market itself projects. All of them are expensive and image. In other market conditions, they could yield different kinds of dividends. Particularly fair as, in essence, a commercial project, but here and now they exist only in long-term expectation of dividends, the enthusiasm and patriotism. To us it was too. How in the world. As in Paris, London, America ...

Naturally, and by the galleries, as the basic elements of the market, is also very difficult in terms of its stagnation. Especially in times of crisis, when sales are down to zero, many, I am sure, continue to operate solely for art's sake.

So. We have one hard for the past 15 years include a model of contemporary art fairs in Russia. For example, it is the content of this year brought 2.4 million rubles loss. We created or, if you will, backed up with Western counterparts this model, in anticipation of the market and ourselves have done much to develop it (the exhibition of collectors, hundreds of special projects, debates and conferences). Contained both a fashion project in the face of almost unanimous goodwill, support and approval of the art community. And it made sense for us as an exhibition company as a whole. Now that the goodwill has been replaced by frustration, the sense of this largely unchanged.

The reasons for this dissatisfaction clear. One can argue, but I know very well this syndrome - fatigue syndrome waiting. Expectations of a breakthrough. What is now the market will flourish. Now will be sold. Now 100 buyers of contemporary art will become at least 1000. Now begin to appear one after the other galleries of modern art in Russia. Now here gush of foreign galleries and collectors ...

And when it does not happen for years, then the blame for this "course" Fair and its organizers. And, suddenly, do not forgive anything. All bad. And the playground. And service. "And the face, and the office." And would not help even a sharp decrease in the cost of participation. For example, how did we do in a crisis. They lowered the price per square meter from € 240 to 150.

But we all know and "Art Moscow", and on its other, and not just their projects, it's not the quality of services to the organizers, not as a coffee cafe. We have made 1,5 thousand exhibitions and fairs for 20 years in different areas and know that when everything is sold when the market is "alive", no one notices the roughness and even failures. But when the market is "half dead", and even over a long period, then there is dissatisfaction over, fatigue, and a natural backdrop for this new desire. New projects, new people, new ideas, new sites. Demand for the new proposal creates a new one. This is natural and right. Looking for new efforts, new energy. We, in the broadest sense - a country town, society, in general a lot of things missing. We have only a little. Few foundations, museums, centers, artists, sites, trade press, websites, galleries, finally.

Another thing to be seen whether the new project, thus a breakthrough? Will he succeed? And success in the commercial sense, both for participants and organizers to be self-sustainable, and therefore an independent and viable. Especially in the long term. This is also a marathon. Or he will turn back into someone's donor projects with unpredictable prospect. Time will - we'll see. All is not easy and it is not clear.

15 years we do a fair of contemporary art, but I have all this time leave some doubt about the viability and growth prospects of the market of contemporary art here in Russia.

Look. We're not the first. Was fair "ArtMIF. There was somehow dropped. On it were, of course, famous domestic reasons. But again, if the market grew, it would not have happened. Maybe it's not just the volume of the market, but also some more subtle market mechanisms. Where did the third largest in the world of the Moscow Exhibition of Computer Technologies "Comtek", who grew up on the background of the boom in computerization in Russia? Or why the fall of 2007, when oil cost $ 170, our Antique Salon Sales fell against the expectations of all participants? Why did not become successful "ArtForum" in Berlin, in a country where the third largest art market in the world? Or why, in Italy in general is bad to buy contemporary art in Rome is not a successful fair, and next, in a small Basel fair number one in the world? Why Kiev is Pinchuk, and in Moscow, no? Some answers, of course, but they are ambiguous. Everything is quite difficult.

I'm not 100%sure that the Russian tradition of collecting contemporary art 1910, survived a century break, get a new development in our almost savage capitalism and total medializatsii. Not sure what the size of the country and Moscow, the market size and population - is sufficient grounds for a good development prospects of the art market and projects such as the Fair of Contemporary Art. It is likely that all depends on some nuances of the public consciousness or in front of the changing mentality of the citizens.

But let us hope for the best and believe that we are America and Europe. And we welcome all new initiatives, including competitive. In particular, because the competition - it is always positive. Hopefully, the new fair will be successful, any new perspectives and ideas. Maybe something "srisuem, creative rethinking. And the "Art Moscow" is now a great team. We have to line forces and ideas.

Contemporary Art no. (With very few exceptions) What is meant by "modern art" is simply a reflection on the processes (abnormal and inhuman) in society (a wide variety of drugs), because it grossly violated the set of logical stable (obyasnimyh) bonds.

And quite understandably dismayed analysts as "absurd prices," because there are already predicting something for nothing is not possible (but only to ascertain the next reflection is not known who knows what) .. (IMHO)

I am a little about that. And that those artists who put forward our galleries, almost all Unformat, they malodekorativnye, inefficient and expensive, m e can not contribute to the development of the market. A need artists are bright and decorative, many of which can buy and hang on the wall - as if the author's printed work, drawings, sculptures lottery ...
That someone says Pinchuk, "the most-most"? - Hurst mass circulation is colored dots, the paintings from the centrifuge, then naklennyh butterflies, the print of skulls, the world lacks, it is everywhere present, Koonce, even huge complex sculptures made of metal does edition and in all colors, Gursky-colored decorative picture, too circulation.

For most need support. Do not konterporarschikov support. They decided to take a ready-made and cut cabbage in Loja. Our country was enough educated people, who quickly understood everything. Contemporary art of it was somewhere in the 30's. Now this is the theater for fools, because then it's art was a protest against bourgeois tastes, and we have a base there. Those guys were talented, and those boring imitators.
About generational change doubted on the grounds that the Soviet tosudarstvo order and to defend just those who were born during the reign and intellectuals as even the nobles. I'm afraid the next generation will zhostche a waste of money, because the economy is crying and state estate gift no one else is giving away money and accrue more and more difficult.
