Businessman Lebedev is ready to open in Crimea, a Park of contemporary Russian sculpture
The proposed location — Professor's corner in Alushta. It is planned to install about 40 objects. The exposition is a high degree of readiness. But there is one condition
well-Known businessman Alexander Lebedev — owner of factories (national reserve Corporation), Newspapers (The Independent, Evening Standard, "New newspaper"), and steamers — publicly invited the authorities of Crimea to organize at its expense the Museum of modern art under the open sky. In Alushta Lebedev has several of its hotel business (the "Sea", sanatorium "Glory", etc.). Now you may receive and the sculpture Park with the works of famous Russian contemporary artists.
However, there is one condition, which the businessman reported in his LiveJournal: "the Authorities of Crimea announced a large-scale "sweep" the coastal zone immediately after the election. Salmany promised to demolish the unauthorized construction and to eliminate the garbage, besides closing the sea from walking along the quays. Great. Ready to complete the reconstruction of the promenade in Alushta's Professorsky Ugolok and revegetate marginal freed from the cafes and shops of the area. Clarify once again: if the opposite of the sanatorium "Dnepr" in the street Promenade, the property will be demolished pile Shalmanov-помоек, eliminate the terrible traffic, open sea view, it is proposed to organize a Museum of modern art under the open sky".
the names of the authors of the sculptures Alexander Lebedev does not mention, but the photos in his post — works of Dmitry Kawarga, Nikolay Polissky, Andrei Lyublinsky, Dmitry Zhukov, Electroboutiquе, Vladimir Griga.
Lebedev shares details of his idea: "the Park is focused on visits for the whole family and will work every day from morning to late evening. Free. Are we even going to do this — entirely at his own expense. In the offseason, when every cultural life on the South shore stops. But in vain: for people who care about their health, the offseason there — time, perhaps the best of the year, believe me..."
For Lebedev this will be the second Park of modern sculpture. The first due to open this autumn in Switzerland, in Luzern, in his hotel "Chateau Hutch" (Château Gütsch).
