ARTinvestment.RU   08 декабря 2016

Today in the Pushkin Museum. Pushkin opened an exhibition of video works by Irina Nakhova. Modern works the curators have embedded in the main collection

In the new project of Irina Nakhova "the View" to connect two realities: the paintings of the old masters as part of the classical Museum space, and technology — tool create a new artistic language. The exhibition is a kind of sociological study in which the author raises the problem of actualization of the painting.

the project of Irina Nakhova in the Pushkin Museum. A. S. Pushkin presents seven works, each inspired by the paintings from the collection of the Museum: "the lady at the toilet" Giulio Pippi, "Fall of man" by Lucas Cranach the Elder, "Portrait of Adrian Stevens" by Anthony van Dyck, "Portrait of an old woman" by Rembrandt, "Vanity of vanities" Yuriana van Strek, "Hercules and omfala" Francois Boucher, "still life with attributes of the arts" Jean-Батиста Simeon Chardin.

the Choice of works is based on diversity of styles, technique, time of writing the work, the possible location of the video in different rooms, as well as variations of genres such as portrait, still life and painting on a religious story.

Modern visitors who come to see the picture, perceive the evidence of past ages as something frozen, inaccessible in all its splendour. Landmarks that have inspired artists to create paintings, and the audience for their enthusiastic reception, do not form the views of modern.

Under the influence of a variety of means of technical reproduction, which is becoming more and more visitors see the painting through the eyes of their mobile phones. According to the curator, photography masterpieces in museums — is not so much an attempt to capture them in the memory, as a communication gesture. Not to see but to share — is the speed and passion with which today snapshots. This means that the gaze itself slides on the surface of things, briefly catching only a few visual cues.

to fix this slow you look, just turning to modern technical devices. The work of Irina Nakhova allows us to trace how out of the darkness begin to appear the details — lace collar, the hem of her cloak, private items and jewellery. Sometimes these luminous paths meander, and the intended look — I am talking about him — returns to what-нибудь probe has already informed the site. In fact, here is a look does not slip, and touches, he feels the dignity of one or another of the depicted things, and with it, the rights are restored and another time — time to create a beautiful image. After all, it is the view of the artist (or the viewer sympathetic to him) slowly moves from one detail to another, returning, winding. It focuses on the clumps of paint on a barely noticeable transition from the colorful to the masses formed by their elements of figurative images.

guest curator of the exhibition — Elena Petrovskaya, Russian philosopher, PhD of philosophical Sciences, anthropology, cultural studies.
