Why Medina came to the exhibition of contemporary art in Moscow?
ARTinvestment.RU 21 ноября 2016
"We are often told two things unfairly:-первых is that we are too fond of history and historical propaganda, and the second — is that we don't like modern art. We decided at one blow, to dispel both of these myths..."
the words of the Minister at the opening of the "Actual Russia" soon quoted by the Agency.
meanwhile, in the dislike of reproach out of nowhere. The past four years the Ministry of culture is passionately engaged in contemporary cinema, theatres problems, history, preservation of monuments, modern museums. But the modern art of government attention, to put it mildly, was not spoiled. Maybe this active and weird world everywhere else the authorities imagined the ghosts of War, water Polo players, and maybe even what-то hostile, — do not know. Yes, this is not important.
it is Important that his prolonged "ignore" the authorities really alienated a significant part even far from the protest of the art community.
It's only in politics better a bad peace than a good war. And the art is almost the opposite. Here inattention and neglect is perceived much more painful than a dispute or ideological conflict.
But without attention to the cultural authorities have passed many years: without broad discussion, without the involvement of the artists ' large exhibition projects, without spectacles. And bread, what could hide, the majority has long been gone. Among Biennale and rare grant projects will not be full. Art-рынок also do not feed it until it remains tiny. Business the same and had not been generous, and now he does not art. So it's only Aivazovsky with Serov on the bread did not need to think. And alive-то without this in any way.
And then suddenly-то moved. In 2015, the contemporary art drew attention to the "Kremlin," and this year, the cultural authorities have taken practical actions. In April held an exhibition "Always modern. Art XX —XXI centuries." And in November, the authorities pulled up to the line of ideological confrontation, the main forces (the Ministry of culture and ROSIZO), drew the allied forces (private galleries, including two "vinzavodsky"), provided equipment and fuel (converted Museum of contemporary history of Russia), sent fresh reinforcements (the development Fund of contemporary art), did a great national exhibition of modern art "modern Russia: the habitat." Such that a sin was not to invite the Minister.
the Minister came.
it would Seem, so what? Think...
So, so wrong. This is one of the signals. Can't this issue be firmly committed to memory, but since Furtseva (she was in the Arena-62 with Khrushchev and the "Kinetico" Nusberg) do not remember what-то our Ministers of culture at the exhibitions "aktualschikov". For our latitude this thing is unprecedented. If there was, for a long time. In General, observers were surprised, didn't believe and started to wonder, what could it be?
Among the first questions you ask — is whether Medina was interested in contemporary art or is he only suffered "Actual Russia" on duty? Well, who can know for sure. But a number of facts and personal observations incline me in favor of the fact that the interest was real. The fact that the exhibition Medina spent nearly an hour, although without prejudice to decency could get fifteen minutes. It was evident that he was in no hurry, looked closely, listened to the curator.Considered sculpture Kawarga longer than usual stood in front of works Belyaeva-Гинтовта, Konstantin Khudyakov, Igor Pestov. Pozadavat questions. Finally, the fact that after the visit, he made a promise: "I give instruction to our Museum Association ROSIZO-ГЦСИ to look at the exhibition the opportunity to purchase paintings in the permanent collection." The gesture was clear. The government makes it clear that it intends not only morally, but also to support the ruble by contemporary artists.
again. The Minister came to say: we have nothing against modern art and support contemporary artists by purchasing. How this will work in reality, we'll soon see.
With this illusion quickly establish relations there. Confidence is not quickly restored, nothing to do. From Medina, and the organizers will still wait for a-то trick, so happened. For example, few will pay attention that the exhibition no propaganda works. Anyway they say that time doing, "the Kremlin", exhibition of a priori Pro-government. So after the first good reviews about the exhibition is inevitably followed by awkward questions.
for Example, this: what about the others? Now "Actual Russia" exposed the art may in many ways, yet completely politically correct, no opposition and slaps public taste. Presented "cosmism" and other "creative perfectionism", which is possible to lead a tour of 12-летних students not covering their eyes. As lead Minister, without the risk of incurring displeasure. And where to exhibit art that contains hidden or obvious political statement? Where "destructive action", where sharp questions? Of course, no one expects the state will show "the War" with its "X... in captivity FSB" (for which, however, they have a state award, NCCA). But enough of spirit to show Gregory Yushchenko (nominee of the Kandinsky prize) or the popular in Runet ironic Vasya Lozhkin? Hardly anyone-то blame their lack of response to reality. But that's only on exhibition today they can only rely on private. Relevance doesn't come out?
the Second issue that will be discussed: does the participation in exhibitions with the support of the "Kremlin" considered a kind of "oath" the new art authorities, an expression of loyalty? "Roll call" for this has already begun online. Some — did not participate — begin to condemn those who participated. In response to hear the reasonable arguments of others, that helpless timelessness already stolen from the artists years of his professional career. Which not return. Others will begin to feel cautiously dissatisfaction with the fact that the work in the exhibition was taken without their consent. The fourth will not require to remove their work. In General, there will be inevitable in such situations, the political dismantling among artists, art critics and all market participants. There will be a lot of Robespierre, jumping to conclusions and careless words, deleted tweets and posts. The truth will not find there. And I hope observers will be wise enough to skip this emotional flow on deaf ears.
But the nerves spoiled to be done. Public disputes and mutual accusations will become a new source of agony. Stirred up, will put before a choice instead of giving to work andto exhibit it, where to call. And actually, about what dispute? Yes, the exhibition is under the auspices of the Ministry of culture and state money. This is who-то very confused? What Moscow and the Ural Biennale was held whose-то other money? And exhibitions in the state and municipal museums entirely paid by the sponsors? Unnecessary doubts. Think instead of who-то can force the artist to do what he wants, — is also weird. If you remember much more difficult times, the exhibition of nonconformists in the pavilion "beekeeping" (1975) "House of culture" (1975) at ENEA is also made to the money of the state. If this reproach Rabin, Kabakov or Tsalkova? Well, the same nonsense. In General, to reproach artists — is what-то dishonest activity, then what it is now.
Soon the passions subside. In two weeks. And then-трезвому the time comes to remember that in art history there are only artists and their paintings. Sometimes another outstanding exhibition. The curators history remembers much less critics only in exceptional cases, and only the funding sources did not remember almost never.
Yes, if you want any unexpected friendly step authorities can find second bottom. So we have been taught. But it would be strange to deny that the fact that the specific the big show, the attention it has attracted, and the promised prospects of purchases of contemporary art — is good, fully consistent with the interests of artists. Else — question interpretations, to health.
