Private Museum businessman and collector Igor Markina opened really long time. People interested in the modern (current) and the art of the sixties, following the exposure of several years. Monitor the site art4.ru , where you can not only view a growing collection of works but also to evaluate the photo with the relevant exhibition. Usual reading corrosive and do not necessarily censorship comments on contemporary art - they explain everything from human without «discourse», «simulyakrov» and «Cognitive dissonance», the benefit of Russian language is much more fruity curses ... Those same people are followed for a living diary of Igor Markina for art4-ru.livejournal.com - not exactly for the case, but to lift the mood.

Actually Art4.ru - is in full museum-generation Internet. He was so fun to live. And in the off-line, in house number 4 in Hlynovskom impasse, it seems, went out only because so is even more interesting. For now can not sit with a cup of coffee in front of a monitor, but with cups of something on the floor spacious room madly expensive high-end buildings in Arbata - which is not less than the level of the collection, shows the level of complex owner.

Rather, representative collection of Igor Markina (about 100 artists and about 800 units) only turns into a museum. If, of course, extremely demanding approach to understanding the museum as an organization that is able to put on display only hundred percent masterpieces, hiding things in the secondary reserves. However, there are masterpieces in Markina. Although it is not so much in percentage terms. For example, of 11 paintings by Dmitry Krasnopevtseva at least three have a museum level.

names are generally represented by a broad front. Almost all of the sixties the first magnitude and nonconformists second echelon, all the top figures of social art, contemporary art. Yuri Zlotnikov, Ilya Kabakov, Mikhail Shvartsman, Turkish, Boris, Vladimir Yakovlev, Vladimir Nemukhin Alexander Kosolapov, Ülo Sooster Vladimir Вейсберг, Eugene Chubarov, Ivan Chuikov - and the first is not to list! Critical approach, to highlight the most valuable? Markina idea: let the people decide for themselves. On the Internet tradition of selecting the best works will be able to maintain themselves by visitors vote for favorite things. The idea of a strange, well, yes all right.

Perhaps, the owner of the museum is trying to make it a place of fashionable (in a good sense of the word, without the glamor and pretentious) and tusovochnym. Imagine a fashion museum? Indeed, something new. However, there are also fashion exhibition, Modigliani's the same ...

In order to be a fashionable place to be interesting, even fun.

Do not accustomed to reading books - vozites on the Internet at rasstavlennyh computers. Boring to look at the painting - lyubuytes video.

Well, plus the atmosphere of freedom. Would you like to prattle on without the risk of mobile phone communication with Shikal smotritelnitsey? No problem. Share? Cheers. I like to enjoy a cup of coffee? Please.

As a new generation of museums humiliating severity, discourage all moods (such as the removal of bottles with water in the Russian air museum), to anything. Regular tickets cost 200 rubles. The plans - the creation in Russia museum of contemporary art network, such as Guggenheim museums. Nice. From a close - the thematic projects, Leonid Purygina, Constantine Zvezdochetova, Timur Novikov, Boris Sveshnikov. And - Dmitry Krasnopevtseva, which promises to show Markin and famous canvas «Still life with three jugs», emerging at Sotheby's million mark - a psychological milestone for the modern Russian art.
