在俄羅斯
Made in Russia
State Museum of Modern Art of the Russian Academy of Arts
October 2 – October 13, 2011
The project of the creative duo Kolesnikov/Denisov 在俄羅斯 (Made in Russia) is a story with an intense plot about love, art, outsourcing, modern capitalism or, maybe, friendship of nations. Reflections of Antonio Negri’s ideas are also visible here: he suggests that the modern concept of proletariat should include not only the industrial working class, but «everyone who is being exploited and who works under the power of capital».

Ivan Chuikov at Moscow Museum of Modern Art

Ivan Chuikov Labyrinths
Moscow Museum of Modern Art
November 3 – December 5, 2010
Ivan Chuikov has long been and remains a challenging figure in the international art scene – this is what makes him truly unique. The universally acknowledged classic of conceptual art who opened a window to Europe, ‘the prince of emptiness’, ‘the heretic of the easel’, the embodied contradiction, the dandy of postmodernism… All these titles exist simultaneously, assuming that the artist stays true to his enduring method – the combination of sharp thought and flawless plastic quality.

RES PUBLICA at Moscow Museum of Modern Art (Moscow, Russia)

RES PUBLICA
Moscow Museum of Modern Art
September 7 – October 17, 2010
‘RES PUBLICA’ exhibition based on the collection of the National Center for Visual Arts of France presents works by artists who comprehend art as the space of thought and reflect upon the surrounding social and political reality, as well as our relations with the world. Its title refers to the Latin term ‘res publica’, or ‘common business’, or ‘people’s business’, which in antiquity meant the highest value of social importance and became the basis for contemporary concept of the state and, in a more narrow context, the notion of a republic. ‘RES PUBLICA’ exhibition offers an approach to art as ‘common business’ and presents a sort of public space where artists share their views of the surrounding world and its structure, of man and society, of coexistence and shared life, and find adequate artistic forms of expression.
