In the small hall RIA Novosti in Moscow today summarized the results and awarding the winners of art concepts on "Russia's national idea» ( www.konkurskontseptsiy.rf ). Won "Russia-tumbler».
story is in many ways an amazing pierced for our distrust of time. Few before that famous people (artist and promoter Denis Saunin George Mum), no connections, no experience, no oligarch behind, without provocation, its small money started the project, which caused public debate. And even more surprisingly, were able to see it through. In discussing the concepts of competition and themselves attended by thousands of people.
liberals suspect that the competition is on the "money of the Kremlin." Patriots - it's clumsy machinations of liberals and ideas designed to discredit Russia.
known artists routinely treated with suspicion. And then, not really understanding, tender wings mate, knowing there scam. And the people sent in their concept, believed argued and voted. Ordinary people, not artists were involved in the real in the artistic process.
Commercial Director Konstantin ARTinvestment.RU Babulin who witnessed the development of the project, said that one only the forum theme for the competition brought together 20,000 views and over 340 comments. In the language of statistics, this means that the interest was about 40 times higher than the usual exhibition of contemporary art.

voting period, a total of 52 were concepts. Children, spirituality, the fight against corruption, tolerance, restoring the role of Russia - these are the topics that the author poses the basis of its "national idea." The short-list includes six concepts that were in the lead by a small margin in the votes. Formal won the popular vote in the end was the concept of Irina Semenova, "The most important thing - people» . Silhouette of a man on a pedestal with the inscription: "It's me, it's you, it's everyone." Given that she had to compete with the "abandonment of the liberal values" - unexpected humane choice. However the final word rests with the organizers. And they chose a different option. The winner of the contest and the recipient of a prize of 300 thousand rubles was Vitaly Saburov - Muscovite, a marketer, a man far removed from the art market. Visual image of his concept « Russia - roly-poly, country Roly-Poly» has a movable sculpture, decline, but always returns to equilibrium. At a press conference presented a model of the future of an art object. The original sculpture is realized Denis Saunino to grow up to 5 meters in height and will be shown to the public in Italy in the days of the Venice Biennale this year. This, of course, not talking about the main or parallel program, but unnoticed sculpture is unlikely to stay. The authors have come up with a new presentation for the Venetian surprise move, but will talk about the details in May. Touch wood.
We will continue to monitor developments. History, like it or not, instructive and, in practical terms for the course "How to promote the artist." It is interesting to see how the investments are comparable to the cost of a pair of gallery exhibitions in Moscow, may bring to Venice. Would desire.
