The combined structure will be headed by the head of the ROSIZO Sergey Perov and Mikhail Mindlin move on to another job

national centre for contemporary arts (NCCA), which appeared in 1994, will be part of the United State Museum-выставочного centre ROSIZO. The new structure will be headed by the Director of the ROSIZO Sergey Perov and Mikhail Mindlin will leave his post. Vladimir Medinsky, reported today on the reorganization, said Mondino "made some interesting proposals".

According to the Minister of culture, the Union of the two structures is necessary for the reason that they solve similar tasks in the presentation of contemporary art in Russia and abroad, "so it was logical to create a single center of support of contemporary art".

, and similar tasks, but I personally have such a feeling did not work. It is enough to compare the exhibition program, to get another view. ROSIZO has promoted the official Soviet art, socialist realism, and in tune with contemporary art Patriotic. In turn, the NCCA was one of the most important institutions for the promotion of the heritage of informal post-war art, non-conformists, sixties. There was arranged exhibition of Mikhail Grobman, Alexander Ney, appeared in the work of Vladimir Yankylevsky, Anatoly Zverev, Vladimir Nemukhin, Vladimir Yakovlev, and many others. The result of scientific work, the NCCA has become the reference book "Other art" — Handbook for collectors and fans of unofficial art.

Generally, the part has long been the feeling that the authorities were dissatisfied with unorthodox and sometimes even decisive "editorial policy" of the state on the status of the NCCA. For example, in 2011, they withstood the pressure in connection with the nomination for the "Innovation" art-группы "War," despite Frank discontent of the Ministry of culture and the Public chamber. A similar situation happened with the nomination for "Innovation" Turkey in February 2016. But does the leadership of the NCCA was already is forced to back down. Let me remind you that the NCCA then rejected the application on the nomination of the works of Petr Pavlensky "Threat" in the nomination "Work of visual art". In response, the Expert Council members in protest have decided to refrain from voting in the nomination "Work of visual art". Mikhail Mindlin, General Director of the NCCA, commented on the decision of the organizers: "Under the terms of the contest, the organizers have the right to reject any submitted application. We rejected an application for extension of the work of Peter Pavlensky “Threat” in the nomination “Work of visual art”. In this case we are talking about work, the creation of which was committed the act that has obvious signs of violations of law and caused material damage. The refusal of the application not associated with a professional assessment of the work. Extension work, in which the law was violated, the contest, held by the state organization and held under the auspices and with the support of the Ministry of culture of the Russian Federation, it seems to us unacceptable." And still it ran.

Vladimir Medinsky said that the Ministry of culture now "poses new challenges to the NCCA and all employees will be employed. Wait — will see that new ones. Suddenly in the merged organisation will catch the spirit of the sixties, which we appreciated in the NCCA.
