Today in the Central house of artists on Krymsky Val opens international art fair "Art Moscow", which for the seventeenth time will bring together art dealers, gallerists, curators, representatives of cultural institutions, collectors and connoisseurs actual iskusstva@

this year will be special in the history of the "Art Moscow": it will be a totally new format. Under the predominance of art, experiencing too clearly the influence of mass culture, the organizers of "Art Moscow" were forced to change the concept of the fair, when faced with a lack of quality supply — for objective reasons, the fair Advisory Council was forced to reject a significant portion of proektov@

of Course, for the 17-year history, "Art Moscow" formed the backbone of the permanent participants — galleries, always offering a high art level. However, to maintain the main exhibition in its traditional form has not been sufficient. Therefore, instead of for reasons of an economic nature to invite the gallery that does not meet the standards of the fair, and so reduce the overall level, the organizers have chosen a new path razvitiya@

Last winter along with the traditional preparation of the exposition was the start of a New Platform — a new project on the third floor of the Central house of artists for the new galleries. It is more experimental, innovative, sincere art, less prone to overwhelming Russian art market trends. For this section we formulated three basic conditions: they were invited galleries, existing for less than three years, not previously involved in the "Art Moscow" and offering works in the price range of no higher than 5000 Euro@

the New project Platform and will now become a core of "Art Moscow" — it is no longer parallel event. "Art Moscow" should remain a platform for the development of modern art and the art market in Russia, changing together with the changing time. To support young artists, curators and gallery owners, to expand the area of non-profit projects, to promote knowledge about contemporary art in society through educational programs, to increase regional presence at the fair and to strive to increase the availability of works of art for the various layers naseleniya@
