Detailed Description and the terms of participation - online http://www.openklub.ru/about

I've already talked to some collectors who were going to participate in it. Some arguments in favor of this project would like to quote here .
They say : - What is each active collector of contemporary art over time accumulates some " surplus " that sell cheap pity expensive is not as easy to store and do not feel like a dead weight . Here it would be good to gather somewhere and be able to communicate well, such as these " assets."
I do not know how this is relevant to a wide range of collectors here and see .
Or maybe I'm just not right , and the important thing here is something completely different , well, all the more so see the 25th.

They say : - What is each active collector of contemporary art, over time, accumulate some " surplus " which is a pity to sell cheap , expensive, not so simple , and keep the dead weight is not desirable. Here it would be good to gather somewhere and be able to communicate well, such as these " assets."
I do not know how this is relevant to a wide range of collectors here and see .

"Sharing ."
In Soviet times, this form is often practiced , but there was one rule: " Sharing without the return of the subject" . So teach young <! - ~ 6 ~ -> .
I hope that this is not the case.
Thanks for the info , sure I'll go .

Been waiting for this format.
If the organizers will be able to create a certain atmosphere project is doomed to success.

In my opinion, a great idea came from " Open Club " and its founder Vadim Ginsburg . As far as I know , all summer pondered carefully , there were lots of ideas and suggestions , in general , the project is " born " as it should. And the project has been supported by good collectors (not just " the first art medium ," but also to the October meeting a lot in preparation) . And the work will be very good ( for this is certainly keenly watched ) . However, prices do not yet know . I think that enough such " protection" to spend no more than once a month, at most. Maybe even less . Although the frequency must be present . The format is interesting. I'm here today to actively about the event rascprashivali of the Museum of Private Collections Pushkin Museum ... going to (at least) to come to the opening . In general , I wish you good luck! By the way, "Open Club" located right ( again, sorry) in my house. I definitely will be a repeat visitor.

The idea is very interesting , and if such meetings will become a tradition at the club , I think it will benefit everyone who is interested in art .

The same was yesterday - a very warm atmosphere and reasonable prices !
However, currently in the collection so far found nothing but leaves no hope for future meetings in a nice format - directly and would like to buy, buy ... With difficulty refrained from buying not " essential " , but beautiful illustrations for children's books .....

Here's my more detailed account of what was there yesterday :

I do not know why suddenly , but wanted to start his report a direct quote from the great works: - "One day in the spring , at the hour unusually hot sunset in Moscow, Patriarch ... " but quickly coped with this desire , because everything is so , but not quite . Not in the spring and in the fall , not hot and rainy and not at the Patriarch , and in Spiridonovka .
So in Spiridonovka 9/2 in the premises of the " Open outdoor club " yesterday at 19:00 started a new project called "Open Collection " gist of it is that every two weeks on Wednesdays , collectors will be opening its store to present part of his collection guests of the Club , to share with other collectors , talk about the principles and methods of collecting , suggest beginners buy anything at special prices .
Two months before that , having learned about the idea of creating a club , I'm in discussions to implement it appeared not to the enemy, but a moderate skeptic. Are there some collectors who want something to change, and if there is then what? Surely some useless crap and so on . This moderately skeptical mood I entered the club and gasped: - full of people , all the people of the right , the atmosphere , the walls , talking, painting (mostly graphic) what the doctor ordered - without a moment's regret that he came . Even without knowing anyone , it is still interesting , the space is small, but comfortable . Comfortable in the first place so that you always find yourself in a circle of interesting conversation . Right-to- left, front-to- rear, opinions, questions , answers, stories - well, what you need for the interested person.
And most importantly - the participants did swap , buy and sell each other's work . I do not remember such a living movement of interested people . And more importantly - it's not a flea market slipped unnecessary nonsense . How can you call this nonsense Chubarova excellent graphics , for example, that really sold at very good prices. In short what I saw this absolute success . Certainly a great sign that the idea is correct , but implementation is more than worthy . Of course let's see how things will develop further, but while we congratulate the organizers on a successful start .

No word embellished .
