yesterday in Moscow gallery "Aidan" was opened exhibitionAnya Zholud (b. 1981), for which the artist reproduced life-size his suburban studio. Photo from the exhibition can be viewed Forum ARTinvestment.RU .

artist is not the first time makes your personal space is an integral part of the exhibition: for example, in 2007 she presented in "ARTSTRELKA" installation, depicting her St. Petersburg apartment ( "Museum of me"). Previous version works for "Aidan" (called "houseplant") was shown in the same apartment /studio-studio on the area ", which she herself calls" the object ". The exhibition - rusty metal rods sticking out of the concrete pots - makes us think about the essence of the sculptural art of the artist, which assigns, modifies, "tames" the material taken from the surrounding world, as well as people rebuild "under her" nature, for example, "choose (the living creation - houseplants. - AI .) fate of inanimate objects».

Anya acorn studied a painter, but mostly it was the material of metal -- frame wire, fittings, steel bars. She paints with steel rods in space, opening the viewer gaze "skeleton" she studied the phenomenon: for example, in the "Scheme of Space" (2007) she presented the skeleton of human happiness, that is, a set of necessary things, without which there can not be happy. Desk, chair, closet, carpet, bed and a book, you can read before bedtime. "Nobody will believe in your happiness if you will not have anything from this list. If you suddenly say that you do not have a bed or table, all you will be sorry. Nobody wants to be miserable, so they all have everything you need for a minimum of happiness in terms of civilization "- explains the author. Acorn shows only the outline, the idea of the object, stripped of all flesh (of various properties that give the subject of "individuality"). Among its projects - "skeletons" wedding (what a wedding without a white dress, limo, bouquet and cake!), Cultural institutions, gynecological offices, bedrooms, and the median average of the exhibition.

In April in 2009 the artist said in an interview with columnist Openspace.ru George Slugin that no longer wants to engage in" schemes ". But at the same time, it noted that such work remains the most popular among the organizers of exhibitions. It is expected that these stylish, flawlessly beautiful works (more precisely, their constituent individual items) in the near future appear on the auction market. Although the artist opposed to the installation is sold in parts: according to her, such a project as "Iron Wedding" - is "a project such form, namely a square meter, the number of items and locations. All together, this is my installation. When she began to disperse parts, I was very upset. " I remember the other "wedding", made several decades earlier «Russian Americana" by Louise Nevelson : too ambitious composition consisting of one style made in the designs, which (to the great displeasure of the artist) were separated from their "cousins" and dispersed to various collections.

in early 2009 th acorn arranged in the laboratory of Art & Science Space exhibition under the eloquent title "Not the artist, which were shown abstract works in metal and other materials. Among the exhibits are allocated "bundles" of wire-like bundles of wires. Similar plexus as demonstrated at last year's Venice Biennale - inlet and outlet of the main exhibition area, the Arsenal. "Silent" installation acorn, which included the audience might not notice, telling about the unseen, which provides "total communication with all».

works acorn are meeting MMSI, NCCA, the private Museum of modern art (Moscow) and the Museum of Nonconformist Art (St. Petersburg). In May 2009 the first it was "infiltrated" the Russian Museum, painted on plywood boxes, which transported her favorite paintings of the artist Aron Buha , whose exhibition then held in the museum halls. Work on the paintings, which depicted garages shells and home appliances, became for her the way "tactile interaction" with the artist (such work is available at the new exhibition "houseplant" - see the photo essay).

truly international and national exhibition success yet difficult to confirm the auction, statistically, that a common thing for young artists. Works of Anna acorn sold in private and museum collections and has almost never appeared on the secondary market, nobody rushes to resell. The first time her canvas Untitled 100 x 150 was set in June 2009 at Sotheby's estimate: from 3-5 thousand pounds, but at that time was not sold.

Exhibition "Potted Plant "Gallery" Aidan "will last until February 25. This year, Anya Acorn is planning to organize three exhibitions: "Golden Fleece" in the Hermitage (March), "Hummer" in the gallery Gisich (April) and "Continuation of the medical examination" in the MMSI (May).
