eve of the exhibition, Bersenevsky Lane 2/1 (where the TV studio "Rain"), held a press conference to mark the opening of a new art space - Red October Gallery. True, «gallery» she will be in the same sense as the Tretyakov Gallery - picture format is claimed to be non-commercial.

project progresses gallery owner Vladimir Ovcharenko (head of the gallery " Regina ") and a group of" Gut ", which is interested in the development of their territory, and when the correct energy. Artyom Kuznetsov, representing "Gutu", metaphorically painted distribution of duties so he - CEO and Ovcharenko - Chief Designer.

I understand the idea Ovcharenko, his plan - to make the area of ​​contemporary art with exhibitions, understandable to most viewers. In a friendly, popular format to teach people to contemporary art, and not to keep them on an irresistible intellectual distance. Without snobbery. To generate interest and help to understand. That is, we will focus on the exhibitions is not for curators, and for the people. In the future, seminars, lectures and presentations - all as usual in such formats.

first exhibition of the new space was "Homemade Russia" Vladimir Arkhipov - assembled his collection of objects of peasant life, ready-made . These things are not made by artists and not for the audience. Formally incorporated in them a reflection of the creator, but the power of their charm is endless. At times the villagers at all an attack coming of postmodernism. That there is one only a shovel made from a road sign "Repair." Or the handle of a shovel with a crutch. Or canister, cooked in the form of "intellectual" of the portfolio. Russian poor as it is. Sincerely for themselves.

already known and future plans. In October at the Red October will bring the installation Elijah and Emilia Kabakov, previously shown at the Kiev Biennale. In December, will be a special project to work Dmitry Gutova , Anatoly Anatoly Osmolovsky , Valeria Chtak and the Oleg Kulik. A year may bring an exhibition Erwin Wurm, but this is too far away to think.

Ovcharenko What happened with the "Guta" - we'll see. In principle, should have good - too serious drivers involved. Moreover, that nonprofit status is formally less binding. It certainly does not stop as often sell collateral demand. Now it is important to provide a high interest and attendance. The place is pretty untwisted, but in terms of accessibility is not perfect. From the subway after all 10 minutes of dense step, parking-wise, especially in the winter - the theme fierce.
