Today, the walls of the former confectionery factory of «Red October» Exhibition «invasion: exclusion», which presents works by a new generation of Russian artists. This exhibition starts its activities in Russia a new art project BAIBAKOV art projects, in which short-term plans - a series of exhibitions at the «Red October», which represents Russian art as a full and powerful part of the art world, as well as solo exhibitions of Western stars, whose work little known in Russia.

The project «invasion: exclusion» of twenty-two artists were invited to explore the possibility of the simultaneous movement of «invasion» and «exclusion», the limited space of the 3rd floor of one of the famous buildings of the former confectionery factory «Red October», and create installations that illustrate these concepts by presenting their innovative interpretation.

The artists were able to create any large-scale installations and the most courageous performances, guided only creative ideas, and not focusing on business results, they can freely experiment with the size and location of works.

At the first stage of the project, half of the area the 3rd floor of the former factories have been converted into an open studio where artists in the creation of works to communicate and discuss various topics and work together or individually.

The exhibition focuses on the future of Russian art - 22 authors, a new generation of relevant artists of XXI century, which began after the millennium and have been recognized recently. The style of the new millennium, the work of artists is difficult to describe a single phrase like «aktsionizm 90» or «Moscow romantic conceptualism». In the 2000's came the cult of individual freedom, which has not been fully realized, but existed in the art community in the form of a desired value. The work of artists who were born at the turn of the century, the search for the original individual style has become an almost painful way of survival due to a new understanding of «career». As a result, the search feature at the art scene has a new style - international, - birth by young Russian artists said at the exhibition.

internationality project does not mean complete isolation from the context, the context is there, but it is not ideological or historical, and spatial: all projects can be described as site specific.

The title of the project, in the English translation of a soft invasion: evasion, means it is the spatial relationships, external and internal appearance and dissolution. Russian name of a tough problem, and that reflects the attitude to modern art in Russian society. Contemporary art in Russia is only at the stage of «invasion» of the cultural program of broad audience and often «exclusion» due to the innovation of language or form. For artists of the notion of «invasion» and «exclusion» - home. Modern art - is always a struggle for the invasion of new space, expanding the limits of art and the rejection of stereotypes. These notions of pulses in each of the projects shown.
