author of the project :

«... crane jib 15 m in height, 16 meters wide and 20 m in length. In the cockpit of this colossus is, though not frail, but so valuable and sometimes timid woman. It provides unloading of the metal coming cars to numerous stores, she sits at the machine running, lifting 12 tons. Crane-driver - Goddess in the azure sky above the treetops, and everything around. She looks at everything from top to bottom. What does she see? She sees the divisions, warehouses, workshops, garages and cars on the ground. She knows that in these buildings have classrooms and corridors, offices and have offices, doors, windows. It's all down there, far away. The crane need to deploy, you need to scream at the top of slow slingers, you need to raise and lower, and again return to the carriages. At the first level of clouds, after ending the roof of buildings, crane-driver in mind Luba appear, the wave of its themes. For example, a set of products, which she put in the trash consumption, and nedomytaya dishes, which she will wash and neatly put on the china "Lay-dryer" in the process of cooking dinner. But if it ceases to look down and only looks up - it means that she thinks about the happiness ...

The museum did not have enough space to install the faucet. Therefore, the exposure remains only that surrounds the crane-driver Lyuba. And the shadow falling from the crane ».

exhibition project" Continued examination "at the Moscow Museum of Modern Art will bring together a number of famous works Ani acorn into a single artistic and physical space. The starting point of the exposition will become the image of construction crane, from which a four-story museum building will remain a huge shadow. Around this axis will be grouped works reflecting the author's interest to some global issues: "The scheme of the space of elementary happiness", "cultural institution", "Sculpture and Painting", "Emptiness» ...

Key for this exhibition will be the topics that have consistently been in the works of Ani acorn: emptiness, absence, innuendo. In the project "Continued examination" emptiness becomes widespread, fills almost all the museum space. The motif of the lack of evident throughout - from the empty frames, which seem to invite the viewer "middle of painting" pictures, to a large installation "Void", which completely wiped out all the frames and borders, usually iron-defined contour lines.

exhibition at the Moscow Museum of Modern Art logically completes the project" Exhibition Plan ", which opened in Aidan Gallery exhibition" houseplant » and continued with" Hammer "in the Gallery of Marina Gisich. All parts of the project are linked, there is a holistic arts fields and are dedicated to the ratio of the infinity of the field and the borders which are superimposed on the artist's museum and gallery-formats.

«Continuation of the medical examination" - a traditional inscription-pointer in any museum - on the one hand, refers to the typical treatment for Ani acorn to everyday phrases, on the other hand, defines a vector exposure: exhibition marathon paradoxically ends continuation.
