Exhibition of the state order. Urban concepts of contemporary artists at Winery

[Vladimir]

Riddle: Exhibition Hall, which hang by Maria and Dmitry Agureyeva Kawarga, look at all this, Svetlana and Sergey Gridchin, but not Gridchinhall? The correct answer - Workshop on Red Winery. On the eve of the exhibition where the government order, which came up with Marina Cave (Pechersky Gallery) and artist Roman Sakin (http://www.winzavod.ru/events/?id=899).

The idea - to invite our artists to reflect on contemporary appearance of the urban environment. Asked to think conceptually - without regard to practicality. Feasibility issues, structural strength and ease of use, artists did not care. It is good that way - in the end we got a live exhibition of art concepts, not on the next competition sculptural projects.

Government orders in the Red Workshop - it works 15 artists and collectives. Their concepts presented Agureyeva Maria, Anna and Kirill Ass Ratafeva, Alexander Brodsky, Ivan Gorshkov, Eugene Grandfathers, Dmitry Kawarga, Irina Korina, Andrew Krasulin Maxim CAST, MishMash (Misha Leikin, Masha Sumnina), Recycle (Andrei Blokhin and Georgy Kuznetsov) , Roman Sakin, Leonid Sohransky, Haim Sokol, Rostand Tavasiev. Plush last monumental sculpture stood in the central square Winery - I am not made of salt. Over the coming of spring at the show posted recognizable biomorphic "skvoreshnik" Dmitry Kawarga. Comfortable polymer mink nest - the embodiment of harmony for people and animals in the harsh urban environment. Vectors of the ideas of our innovators are not in the same direction. The exhibition is a complex multimedia solutions and projects ascetic in form, but traded point to the historical memory of Muscovites (such as mailboxes repressed by Haim Sokol).

The issue with the urban environment is ripe for a long time. Today, the external view of Moscow and other Russian cities do not give reason to assume that in the country, and the world in general, there contemporary art. Judging by the monuments of the glorious past (writers, poets, generals) - there, space - there is even the friendship of peoples - there, and contemporary art - not his. The ideas that find and develop artists past quarter century, the object did not find their embodiment in the urban environment. And remember why. With the change of political leadership in cultural modernization of the urban environment can go bolder. And there too, the word "state order" cease to be a grim metaphor. And feel free to it in this case there is nothing, because the truth of other options, and virtually none.

The exhibition runs until 12 May.
