Title NUTS («Nuts") gave the exhibition of Pushkin "The Tale of Tsar Saltan", but rather that her episode in which the squirrel notes nuts in the "core - pure emerald." These wonderful nuts have become a symbol of how classical ideas penetrate the popular culture, leaving it an unexpected trail.
In the English version of the title game laid words: nuts refers not only to the nuts of Pushkin's fairy tales, but also plays with the extravagance of young generation of artists (the second meaning of nuts - «madness"). Deceptively simple picture of "Elikuka" (Oleg Eliseev and Eugene Kukoverov, p. 1984 and 1985 ), which play on the bright slogans and graphic illustrations give an absurd meaning objects of everyday life.

Other young writers inspired by the diversity of all artistic movements of the twentieth century. "Organic" of Vlad Kulkova (b. 1986), expressive and convey the dynamics of the gesture. But the language of art collages Croitor Oli (born 1986) goes back to the aesthetics of socialist realism and constructivism. Arseny Zhilyaev (b. 1984) also draws on the constructivist typology, creating sculptures out of the slogans that easy to get - and shelves of old furniture.
While some exhibitors are the creative process from a purely aesthetic point of view, while others create works undoubtedly politicized. Figurative compositions Yegor Koshelev (b. 1980) combines traditional painting techniques with the manner of urban graffiti. Finally, the explicit video works Armenian Tigran Khachatryan (born 1980) turned to technological progress and human emancipation, they depict a society grown on the media and political contradictions.
In the past few years Young artists create from scratch, without reverence for old ideas to dominate the art world of the past hundred years. In Russia, each young author's own position, completely independent from the old dogmas. Thus, this group of individuals exploring all possible avenues and techniques - painting, sculpture, photography, video and installation.
