In Diehl + Gallery One exhibition opened Fresh Blood: the project team combined a number of young artists from Russia and Ukraine. Portion of fresh blood, which by the German curator was trying to pour into the local market of modern art galleries of Moscow branch of the Berlin Volker Dilya, took on an analysis of Anna Kommersant-Tolstov.

in Moscow has just finished first Biennale of young artists in all exhibitions, seminars and disputes which debated the question: what is a «young artist» and what are its species traits? Biennale was international and had a wide field for observation, from which it follows that «the young artist» - is an international type: there is hunger, impudently, identifies, and not too good, but progressive, aggressive, and typically levoradikalnoe. Meanwhile, at the exhibition Volker Dilya convinced that the national differences between «young artists» still exist.

presented in the gallery Ukrainian Nikita Kadan, Lada Nakonechna and Alevtina Kakhidze either members or close friends of the Kiev group «R.E.P.» ( «The Revolutionary Experimental Space»), famous poster radicalization of their political performances. In stock «Smuggling» They, for example, illegally transported to the EU through the Ukrainian-Polish border Russia's oil - for rubber hot water bottle, and Russian gas - in balloons. That is the Ukrainian «fresh blood» is a clear orange tint.

On the political radicalism and should probably napirat when sell «mushroom» series Nikita Kadan - battle landscapes with «mushrooms» the various explosions in the spirit of polusmytyh «fotokartin» Gerhard Richter - or imitative conceptualism Lada Nakonechny, printed on canvases phrases taken out of television. Because outside the context of the group «R.E.P.» is the second critical-ironic art is impossible to trivial. Here's how that «most commercial project» Alevtina Kakhidze not without leftist charm and grace: the artist offers to buy «portretiki» all kinds of chairs, bathtubs and handbags Louis Vuitton, quickly draw an ordinary ballpoint pen, the store price of real goods, thereby replacing the crude materialistic consumerism vysokoduhovnym.

As for the Russian exhibitors - most of them are remembered for the brightest young Biennale exhibition «The apples are falling at the same time in different gardens», arranged for «Winery». Under the terms of vinzavodskogo draft of young artists selected for the exhibition of their senior colleagues, veterans and current stars of contemporary art, so it takes for this promising young gallery Volker Dilya relied on the choice of reliable people. For example, at neosuprematista Alexander Sigutina through which large wine «Winery» decorated a huge portrait of Solzhenitsyn, a black, white and gray squares, pixels work of Vadim and Irina Grabkovyh. Now Diehl + Gallery One brother and sister Grabkovy presented a series of the same (only much smaller in size) in black and white square-pixel portraits of anonymous participants in a certain infinite «Love parade». Or fashion videohudozhnika Victor Alimpiev, who chose to vinzavodskoy exhibition malovrazumitelnye drawings of Peter Kirushi. Now the main theme of this young art expressionist clear - nyuveyverskie gouaches Peter Kirushi bristle toothy phallus. That is against the background of their Ukrainian peers of our young artists appear far less politicized: it seems, the only freedom for which they are willing to fight, this is sexual freedom.

However, among artistic youth rarely come across those who do not think about political and sexual revolution, and indeed the art. For example, ward vinzavodsky Moscow kontseptualistov Helena Elagin and Igor Makarevich, a graduate of the Art Academy of Dusseldorf and the German student kontseptualista Klaus Rink sculptor Leonid Sohransky. His sculpture is made of polyester resin - it lives its own life, overflows all the colors of the rainbow, and from the boiling mash suddenly make some Baroque, Hoveyan noble tradition forms. Academic tradition in the best sense of the word - in fact among academics Dusseldorf was once, and Joseph Beuys. Several works by Leonid Sohranskogo - this seems to be only a drop of blue blood aristocracy of art throughout the exhibition.
