"Provocation" at the Kiev National Museum of Russian Art Automatic translate

The “Provocation” in the Museum of Russian Art lasts more than a week! Kievans and guests of the Ukrainian capital have the opportunity, walking through the museum’s exposition, to compare classic paintings and works of contemporary art.

Experimental exhibition “Contemporary Art in the Classical Museum. Provocation ”runs from June 5 to July 1 and invites you to join the study of the transformation of the approach to art from a classical art school with strict canons to a free flow of creative energy, limited only by the boundaries of the artists own soul.

An unprepared viewer can be stunned by the depth of the cultural gap that can be traced between artists of different eras. However, with a deep analysis, you begin to notice that the seeming imperfection of some contemporary works is just a way to change the usual world view, move away from template perception and find new means for self-expression.

The museum exhibits the works of such contemporary artists as Apollonov Alexei, Budnikov Vladimir, Vaysberg Matvey, Dubovik Alexander, Boris Yegizaryan, Alexander Zakharov, Tatyana Krasnaya, Anatoly Krivolap, Nikolai Sologubov, Galina Neledva and others.

The exhibition will be interesting to all people who do not tolerate stereotypes either in life or in creativity. And although the value of such searches is questioned by many, only in this way can art develop for which “life in the dungeons” is like death. In addition, the “Provocation” of the museum runs in parallel with the large-scale project “ARSENALE 2012 - the first international contemporary art biennale in Kiev”. Therefore, skipping it means superficially perceiving the trends of art of our days!
