The exhibition runs until November 20, 2008.
Unlike the 2007 competition, this year's nomination for "Artist of the Year" renamed to "Project of the Year" and the audience award and was completely abolished by the fault onto the actual audience. Voting took place at the exhibition itself by filling a special bulletin. But our audience could not resist and had voted dishonestly, filling several pages for a single candidate, etc.
The event itself is very large scale, at the opening were a lot of media and various guests, among whom were Valentin Yudashkin and his wife, Marianne, and Alexander Vertinsky, Andrei Erofeev.
In the last two photographs of the artist Anatoly Osmolovsky - winner of "Artist of the Year" award in 2007, artist and galeristka Aidan Salakhova.

Capacity in the white balls, like snow, which appear and disappear human footprints. I was told that this is part installatsii - before this volume was a screen on which the spinning roller, where a person leaves the viewer in the snow, and more must be heard the crunch of snow. And since "there is no concept of purity."

In Kandinsky Prize interesting site. In the sense of a funny work, particularly ironic things at the junction with the design.
Here, for example: http://www.kandinsky-prize.ru/hronik...avok/07/saigon
or here: http://www.kandinsky-prize.ru/hronik...ok/07/latishev

The first three - Konstantin Latyshev, and the last two - Sergei Saigon

Afterword.
I do not understand this so-called "contemporary relevance" art ", so I do not love him. Well, or do not like, and therefore do not understand. Just believe that you need to be aware of what is happening on the contemporary art scene. And a campaign for such an exhibition is quite enough. This is a good, big dose of "aktualschiny" (forgive forgiveness from those who enjoy this activity). Once again, I became convinced that it is not mine. Impressions year is enough, until the next award.
Let's wait rewarding.

At snack funny story.

The same day, November 6, in the evening and 1 channel in the news gave a report on the opening of the exhibition. In an interview with Shalva Breus (publisher of the journal Arthrornika, see website Award) said that this art possible and surprising and shocking someone. But the picture of Manet "Luncheon on the Grass" is also at one time caused a scandal by their appearance, and now a classic.
Last night, watching "Gordon Quixote, where have criticized the Comedie-Club. So, Garik Martirosyan said that "Manet painting" Luncheon on the Grass "is also at one time caused a scandal by their appearance, and now a classic," only a few other words.

Without going into details of the difference between Man and all that was photographed, I will say:
He would know Eduard Manet, that with the aid of his masterpiece will try to justify the various manifestations of modern ... well, let's call it culture, would not have written his "breakfast" at all.

See you at the forum.
