ARTinvestment.RU   03 апреля 2018

Even in the unequal struggle with the elements useful to have a-то plan. On the prospects of fairs and tenants of the CHA said its Director and the most informed person in this matter

the Correspondent of MK Ksenia Korobeinikova recorded interview with Vasily Bychkov on the development of the situation around CHA. Total the situation is known for several months: the owner of the building — international Confederation of artists Unions — lost the court and is liquidated, the building will go to the New Tretyakov gallery will be reconstructed on the project of REM Koolhaas. In place of CHA seems to be appears the restaurant with panoramic views, library and other areas. And tenants (galleries, workshops) and participants (Non/fiction, arch Moscow) will need to relocate to a new bridgehead. When and where? Now, so far, it became clear from the interview.

1. Not all CHA tenants are now accepted at the level of the Ministry of culture, liquidation Commission and the state Tretyakov gallery.

2. Contracts with galleries and other tenants of the CHA signed a year. So, to the end of 2018, all work on their premises as before. May be, the current status will remain until 2020, before the reconstruction. But surely no one can know.

3. International Confederation of artists unions will be converted to the International Association of unions of artists. Why — not yet explain.

4. Important exhibition-ярмарочные projects (Non/fiction, arch Moscow, Antique shop, etc.) will try to translate on a platform of the Arena. Or in Gostiny Dvor.

5. For the gallery cluster (now in the Central house of artists rent space 48 galleries) also looking for a new site. One of the potential options is also courtyard Seating.

6. What options will remain for the artists who had the opportunity to exhibit at the CHA at a reasonable price, — is not clear. Most likely, no. Academics will find opportunities to exhibit, and to advise-то nothing.

While that's true. It remains to follow the development. The scale of such transformations that will affect not only the tenants of the CHA, and many other market participants.
