New sculptures of Dmitry Kawarga installed in the Park "Muzeon"
In the square opposite the main entrance to the New Tretyakov gallery held their positions on the field biomorphic Captain, Goalkeeper, Defender, Striker and Referee
Exhibit "Polymeric offside" timed to the world Cup. However, the players have Kawarga to a certain extent conditional. Yes, from a distance we see a shot, and pass, and mindless leap in the direction of an imaginary ball (offside, the goal still will not be counted). But if you come closer, then inside the plastic images of players and judges will reveal a deeper rebellious synthetic substance. The sculptures lead the viewer to thinking not so much about sports as about the multidimensionality of the world, the diversity of contexts and the turbulent historical processes. The six-foot statues of polymer on a steel frame is hidden, then, on the contrary, rend your guts out the images and fears of bygone eras, embodied in a stylized busts of historical figures. For Muzeon, where they found refuge many monuments of the once dreaded Soviet leaders, it is doubly metaphorical.
the curator of the "Polymer offside" was the art critic Ksenia Vladimirova. Now all five characters are located on the lawn directly opposite the main entrance to the Tretyakov gallery. But soon they will start to move in the Park, and one of them will remain there forever.
