In Moscow gallery GMG recently opened an exhibition Vadim Vadim Zakharov , one of the brightest representatives of «young» generation Moscow kontseptualistov . The current exhibition, called No Distance, combines the latest works by the artist: video, photographs and other objects.

Vadim Zakharov : «Once upon a time (20 years ago), I put in my personal vocabulary the term" suite ". This lost me the term, it turned out, is the best way to explain it, that and as I wanted to show at the exhibition. "Set" - this is not a set of components and concepts (for such a construct, all the exhibition), it is not even assumed the dominant ideas and stylistic unity of the elements. All built on the principle of natural proportionality timeless elements. This is very much like an apartment, where things, furniture, combination, dust to form in themselves a sort of natural, unique piece of time and life, which may at any time be altered, amended. It is impossible to compile this figure once and for all, because then it will be a theatrical production or installation, where no one actually lives, but only temporarily plays. Genre "set" a dynamic, withdrawal time s s, installation, space and other rigid framework. All should be based on the tangency concepts, associations, rules, memories, sensations. This "temporal stability" of these touches is based only on the conditional agreement between the artist, time and space.

In the space of the gallery GMG me it was important to build a solid ensemble, where everything is connected to each other, but not stylistically. Sometimes it seems that lost distance to the object. Some of the topics suddenly formed an unexpected conglutination, spots where it seems to be wiped off the minimum gap between intention and result. Sometimes not in any sense of irony, a joke, so characteristic of the tool of Moscow Conceptualism. "Serious results" as if all the reduced distance in the concept of intention. Burned all the bridges and distance. That is why the main title of No distance.

B "Headsets", a genre about which I speak today, there can be no gaps, spacing, Smeshko aside. But even here there is no place psevdosereznosti (equities "dead pastor, lovyaschy birds" and "No distance. Work 1 - 100 of interpretations"). All set in their natural state, but in depth, the distance vision lived. This ottsepleny all ideological, stylistic hooks, removed all possible splinter - an ironic commentary.

Finally, I can say is: "suite" is a personification of peace and the tramp of his free-flowing dialogue with the night sky, under which the homeless person develops a world-suite (newspapers, rags, plastic bags, bottles, Ogryzko, disease, stink and Freedom). He set himself to the eternal. And in the culture of today to look for "Headsets homeless" by checking the reliability and stability in a dialogue with not yet known, the survival of poetry in the mud, naked in the doubt. Pastor in the eternal pursuit of homeless had to throw off their clothes with their ».

Exhibition No Distance in gallery GMG (Gallery Marina Goncharenko, Leontief Lane, 2A /1) will continue until 31 December 2008. Gallery Hours: Tuesday - Saturday: 12.00-20.00.
