New paintings
22 Feb - 15 Mar 2014 Contemporary painting is usually characterized by dysgraphia. There must be something that prevents us from apprehension, the picture shouldn’t be self-identical.

Insectum
25 Jan - 16 Feb 2014 Sound: Andrey Svibovich Once we get into the dark hall of the gallery we are surrounded by an annoying buzz; it feels disturbing in this empty space.

The... Read more

Proces of passing 3
2 Nov - 1 Dec 2012 Ivan Plusch traditionally deploys the art of painting to express existential maxims.

Spinning powers of imprudence
23 Mar - 30 Apr 2012 ... In these pictures we see, described on many levels of course, the creation of the world from a blanksheet - it is the long movement of a mythological serpent-ancestor forming circular shapes and leaving traces from their retraction. It is as if Vlad Kulkov (it is both funny and... Read more

Scripture
2 - 10 Mar 2012 Yuri Alexandrov tries to do the impossible: to turn the image into a word and the word into an image without the need for the tricks of calligraphy, Apollinaires calligrammes, Bruner’s Picto-poetry or Magritte’s ‘carriers of words’exhausted long ago.' Alexandrov’s words do not depict what they say, they do duplicate... Read more

Ambivalence
28 Jan - 26 Feb 2012 Of course, this is not a documentary film. It’s a performance; the guest workers are happy to perform the role that the artist has created for them, and get paid some token amount for it, I guess. But awareness of this only confuses us more; for in everyday life, do... Read more

Another dimension
15 Dec 2011 - 16 Jan 2012 Drozd’s optics are seeped in a murky sunless light andall that remains of the arch of the General Staff Building or the soaring space of Kazan Cathedral are contours and deep shadows. This hazy veil is the dust of archives, the ashes of empires and other debris and remnants of... Read more

Twilight state
18 Nov - 12 Dec 2011 Biology, the shameful flip side of a spiritual being, fascinates Shvetsov with its inescapable unsightliness and inevitability; and there may be some parallels with necro-romantic thanatology and the ‘screwyou’ contemptuous curiosity of the Necrorealists to the same theme. However, they were more fascinated by death, by its stupidity and simultaneous... Read more

Venus. Skank. Mona Lisa
25 Sep - 20 Oct 2011 For Vladimir Yacobchuk some inscriptions on a street wall in Saint-Petersburg became a reason to reflect on the fate of works of art in History.

Empty place
20 May - 11 Jun 2011 “Empty space' is the author herself reading somnambulistic poetry... where the text is read out by a beguiling voice, and then comes out as black lines on white coats hanging from the ceiling. Or it is anyone of us; empty space describes those moments of introspection, when an attempt to... Read more

Spaceport
14 Apr 2011 - 7 May 2014 A well-known rocket-slide, welded from iron rods, which until recently used to be an omnipresent attribute of children playgrounds, quite miraculously made it to the Moon.

Severstal
5 Mar - 6 May 2011 ...The artist exploits more convincingly the story of the submarine, in his opinion, in referring to claustrophobia and suffocation. Metal hearts beat in rubber sheathes; and some person with his neck turned at 180 degrees, for some reason is sitting in a bathtub as a black liquid rises higher and... Read more

Screens
22 Jan - 19 Feb 2011 A picture can't be a window to reality or to other worlds, not to the artist's emotional experience, nor to some concealed meaning.

Chain of connections
21 May - 12 Jun 2010 Kraevskaya’s principle position in her investigation into the aesthetics of kitsch is non-judgmental, indeed she accepts it and readily operates in this ‘terribly tasteless’ genre. The artists and art historians that study mass culture and maintain a safe critical distance from it are a dime a dozen. Artists that are... Read more

Myopia
16 Apr - 15 May 2010 Haim Sokol looks at things around him, finding in them the signs and symbols that bear witness to the unnoticed creativity of the times.
