Nomadic Museum of Modern Art on the Boulevard Ring

On the evening of May 19, from 18 to 21 hours as part of the program of the citywide action, called “Night at the Museum”, everyone will have the opportunity to see unusual works by contemporary artists and sculptors right on the boulevards of the capital.

More than two dozen artists plan to smuggle their works in carts along several metropolitan boulevards, including Sretensky, Rozhdestvensky, Petrovsky and Chistoprudny. If consent is received from the leadership of the Moscow Institute for Contemporary Art, the procession will stop at the courtyard of the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, which is located on Petrovka.

Among the active participants in the so-called "Nomadic Museum of Modern Art" you will find both famous and recognized, and young promising Moscow artists. Many "exported" objects of art were created by masters specifically in order to get the opportunity to take part in such an original traveling exhibition.

Yuri Samodurov explains that this will be a kind of attempt by art people to express themselves through and when using vivid visual images. They will try to highlight many of the pressing problems of our society today.

Significant and interesting is the fact that the example of Moscow has become contagious. A similar action "Nomad Museum of Modern Art" will be held directly in the "Night of Museums" also in the city of Taganrog. This has become possible thanks to modern means of communication and information transfer. The organizers of the action hope that the “Nomad Museum of Modern Art” will be able to become just that form of communication with the audience, thanks to which all artists will take their work and easily take to the streets in many cities of the country, thereby starting a new dialogue with the people.

The creation of a democratic open society implies the possibility for people of art to freely demonstrate their works and put them on the court of the general public. Various objects related to contemporary art in the urban environment are a visual language, a kind of cultural code of thinking individuals. That is how protesters perceive this event. Let’s see how Muscovites and guests of the capital will react to it.

A meeting with contemporary art is scheduled for May 19 at 6 p.m. and will take place on Sretensky Boulevard. A good mood and an unforgettable sight to all who will be there at this time are guaranteed.
