Today MMSI at Petrovka presents "Dreams for those awake».

What do we expect from works of art? Do we seek to gain through them certain knowledge about nature and man, or, on the contrary, we want to be deceived, to plunge into the world of dreams and illusions? Should I trust what we see with our eyes, or should we be more careful not to be legible and delusion?

task of the new, fifth, thematic exhibition of the Moscow Museum of Modern Art is to see the patterns of the audience perception of the light eternal, relevant and today the opposition of "true" and "phantom" images.

reversibility lies in the title of the project. It goes back to Plato's dialogue "sophist." In the original context, the phrase "dreams for those who awake "performed iconoclastic artistic metaphor - but, characteristically, optical metaphor.
