| ???How Political Positions Transform into the Shape??™ |
|
|
|
|
Series of shiny, abstract and to some extant surreal objects by well-knows political intriguer. The main object of Osmolovsky??™s surreal art this time was walnut. The aim of this exhibition is to raise the level of modern political reflection in art. Never the less, Osmolovsky creates the atmosphere of uncertainness ??“ it is impossible to understand what the artist wanted to say and that??™s why there is nothing to mock at or boast about.

Painting, graphics, sculpture, photography, performance, installations. Kandinsky Award 2008 aims to develop Russian modern art, find new interesting projects and artists, define basic tendencies of the artistic process, influence its cultural-aesthetic content, involve new participants and strengthen positions on the world scene. The award takes place for the second time, and this year the exhibition of the nominees moved from WinZavod to the Central House of Artists and took 3,500 square meters. Just like last year, this time everything is exhibited alternately – Siniye Nosy (Blue Noses), Aidan Salakhova, Sergey Shekhovtsov, Sergey Chilikov, Dmitry Tsvetkov – and just like last year it looks a bit absurdly.

Portraits, self-portraits, flowers, female and male nudes, statuary, etc. ??“ all works by Mapplethorpe are made in the artist??™s unique manner: the object is focused and pictured in a large-scale, so that the texture of the surface seems to be almost palpable. His style was then largely used in advertising design. Read more

The aim of the new project by Marat Gellman is to state the existence of another Russia within the geographical borders of the present Russian Federation. This other Russia is thought by the artists to be more democratic, international, dynamic and asserting the rights of creative people on standing up for their personal positions. Gellman and his associates want to enlarge the list of Russia??™s state values ??“ to add something else besides patriotism and immateriality. Read more
