Today, January 28, 2010, at 19.00 in the State Museum of Contemporary Art of Arts (Gogol Boulevard, 10) will be the opening of large-scale exhibition Seeds Faibisovich , prepared by the Moscow Museum of Modern Art and the Gallery of Regina. The exhibition covers the last two periods of creativity of the artist: beautiful project "Evidence" of the first half of 1990 the last century, and the cycle Razgulay recently created when the artist returned to painting after a twelve-year hiatus.

author of the exhibition : «The" obvious "first half of 1990 is devoted to the study of how we look at the world. Then I took optics of human vision: "blind spot", moving the eye over the "regular" pictures of the world, the effects of residual vision, when the negatives of the real world appear on the screens of their closed eyelids, and lived there for their own lives, split the image when the eyes no longer work as binocular ... In short, talking about the various optical-physiological "intermediate layers" through which we, as a rule, not noticing them, look at the world. Or do not notice a completely different world in which they have carried away: in edakii "abstract realism" or "realistic abstraction, which makes no sense the eternal opposition of objectivity and non-objectivity, reality and abstraction, where different combinations of colors and constructed space. Prior to that, playing in the daylight with a hypnotic boa Soviet reality, and so creating a portrait of him, I was concerned about the question "what do we see?", But then boa dead, and was not looking at that - a habit of glaring remained tense, leading to refocus vision with the result of the process, with the public to private.

Cycle Razguliay set now - when I returned to painting after a 12-year break, has puzzled both issues simultaneously: and "what we see?", and "how?". Ambient Reality regained hypnotic, and so once again gripped my attention. In this case between her and our eyes all multiply "intermediate layers" - now the psychological, socio-cultural. Worked over their creation and technological revolution of recent times, including the "total mobilization" (from "mobile phone") view, and postmodernism, which repealed and replaced the coordinates of its schizoid Soviet paranoia, and the glamor, it sank all the information and cultural space who had seized the banner of social realism in to substitute high-gloss world of real, which is again the default was homely, irregular, uninteresting. So I tried to create an adequate portrait of a new era at the same time overcome the imposed stereotypes and adapt "the influences of time": the life of homeless outsider cast in epic form, join an extremely democratic - filming a mobile phone - with high-quality paint, fotoshopnye tricks - with the painting techniques ... In short, incompatible in every way at every turn combined in an attempt to create edakii "new synthesis" of the current cultural debris ».

Another project submissions relates that at their considerably different ideology, philosophy, technology, nature paintings etc. penetrating the installation is the author's appeal to personal experience for each audience: he suggested and requested only that he himself ever saw - simply for their own versions with their own eyes (in their eyes).

The exhibition is open to the public from January 29 to February 28, 2010.
