The cultural power of the city closed the famous Exhibition Hall "Gallery A3"

[Люси]

An open letter to the Mayor of Moscow
Sergei Semenovich Sobyanin

"Cultural" City authorities closed the famous Moscow Exhibition Hall "A3 Gallery» We, the representatives of the cultural capital of the public, appeal to you, dear Sergey Semenovich, asking to understand the situation around the famous Moscow gallery A3 and prevent its destruction.
Our concern is the fact that the new Head of the Department of Culture of Moscow SA Kapkov with the filing of the Head of Culture Department of the Central Administrative District, RR Krylov-Iodko in November 2011 signed an order on the elimination of one of the most famous exhibition halls of Moscow - Gallery A3.
Gallery A3 is distinguished among other exhibition halls of the capital of its unique history, without exaggeration. Founded in 1986, the cultural center of the district has gone from the showroom "Arbat" to cultural institutions of the State "Moscow Exhibition Hall" Gallery A3. "
Over 25 years of existence in the halls of the Gallery A3 held 800 exhibitions of Russian and foreign authors. Projects gallery was attended by about three thousand artists - both Moscow and representatives of the Russian regions and abroad.

Gallery A3 is known for a wide range of critics and audiences primarily as a creative laboratory, whose leadership is constantly discovers, promotes and provides a great start in the art of many young writers.
The gallery has formed a team of experienced art historians who are engaged in scientific and educational activities in the field of contemporary domestic and foreign art and enjoy enormous prestige and respect among his colleagues both in Russia and abroad.
Virtually all this work management, employees and members of the scientific and the Arts Council gallery during the two decades served for little pay and on a voluntary basis, working for the benefit of which has become a legendary cultural institutions.
Over the past two decades, based on the A3 gallery, an extensive museum collection of paintings by contemporary artists, "Public funds". At present, it already has 350 items and is constantly updated with new names. The value of the meeting of this magnitude for the city's cultural life can not be overestimated. All this time, the artists donated their work gave it the State Gallery A3. Today, however, they are shocked by the fact that one stroke of the pen they will work is unknown at whose hands.
I regret to say that as a result of liquidation of the legal status of the exhibition hall were defrauded hundreds of well-known authors.
Most tragically, that the order of S. Kapkova eliminates not only the legal entity, but also became familiar to the public art gallery capital of the name. Thus it will be crossed out the whole cultural history.
His decision to head the Department of Culture CAO RR Krylov-Iodko gave the Department of Culture of Moscow as a good goal to "unite" exhibition halls of the Central District of the capital "for education and educational work, to meet the spiritual needs of the population, the formation of aesthetic perception and realization of intellectual and creative potential of the population, promotion of domestic and foreign art, promotion and support in the study of historical and cultural heritage of our country "(paragraph 2 of the Constitution of the State budget a model of cultural institutions of the city of Moscow).
 
We believe that these bureaucratic bureaucratic phrases concealed unseemly purpose.
 Thus, the new order of the November Kapkov not allowed to approve the Gallery A3 model developed by the Department of the Charter of the exhibition hall and, instead, in fact, eliminated a popular cultural area of ​​the capital.
 Department of Culture and the Department of Culture of Moscow Central Administrative District, until recently kept secret preparation, passage and signing in November 2011 is essentially the liquidation of the Order. Therefore, it was signed for the management of the public art gallery and a heavy blow.
Unfortunately, Mr. Krylov-Iodko still have not bothered to inform the leadership of Gallery A3 goals and objectives of murky bureaucratic game.
 
Currently, Gallery A3 is the only non-profit cultural institution located in the Old Arbat. It seems that this fact does not give rest the officials from the culture.
 
Moscow's cultural community can not remain indifferent to the lawlessness perpetrated, and will do everything possible to save the legendary gallery.

 Currently, Gallery A3 is the only non-profit cultural institution located in the Old Arbat. It seems that this fact does not rest on cultural officials.

Not surprising. At the beginning of a new gadyushnik populated in meriyu, repaired. Estimates from Comrade. Sobyanin was solid, apparently Luzhkov has left the workplace in a very sorry state. Then he came to the hands of directors of departments, in late summer and early fall to department directors are already in the districts. For example to Directors of the Department of Education and as a result of jitters among many principals (good schools, top). So now to the exhibition halls zagrebuschie reached.


I do not know as of now, but before the crisis to rent the Old Arbat, cost an average of 2.5 tys.dol. for the quarter. meters a year (check tomorrow). And the only exhibition space A3 probably about 200 meters (40-50 images was obtained to place in two rooms). Free hanging, advertising and video on the site.
