Tonight at Gallery A3 vernissage will take place on the author's conceptual design of the famous heart surgeon and collector of contemporary art by Mikhail Alshibaya " Exhumation ».

***

I first saw the exhumation, a student at the Medical Institute. On the marble table forensic mortuary coffin - boards darkened with clods of earth clinging. The exhumation took place three months after the funeral, and the contents of the wooden box looked rather unusual, but this procedure has allowed to establish the truth.

The term "exhumation" for my research came up with the dead artists Zhutovsky . Indeed, the artist is physically dead, his work is almost forgotten, but I draw the product literally "out of the ground," trying to establish the truth, to determine the place of the author in the context of artistic era. Among the non-conformist "circles" fifties - the eighties are still many neglected and half-forgotten names. List of very heterogeneous, there is more or less known to a narrow circle of experts, a fully forgotten. Here Gayan Kazhdan, with her, and began a series of "exhumation" (about Gayane and the collection of Michael Kazhdan Alshibaya, see our AI: here and here . - AI .). For many years I was looking for her "Golden Pharaoh", which in the end, unexpectedly showed up in a family of my old friend. Art historian and collector, in particular can easily "bury" the artist, leaving his name outside of their studies, keeping the product in the far corner of the storeroom. Examples in history when the great masters have been forgotten for centuries, a lot: Botticelli, Crivelli, Vermeer. My motion vector is the opposite: I'm trying to expose the modest artifacts, put them on the surface, in the gallery space, where they will be displayed and evaluated. Sometimes even the best return of the artist during his lifetime, if they lost their value to collectors. Even more beautiful - hold exhibitions of living artists that I've done in the Gallery A3, but this is dedicated to the dead.
