Exposition "Russia on the Road in the way. By plane, by train, by car" tells about the time the realization of dreams and the creation of new technologies and myths, obsessions and phobias, lifestyle and images in art. One hundred and fifty years ago the idea of covering the country's network of highways would be called a utopia. And today the average citizen of civilized part of the world will not survive without the train, plane, car and metro: the world without any means of transport — dystopia. The art captured my constantly changing feelings, producing countless documents, confessions. Documents completely different — both in form and mood.
