One step closer to the Kandinsky Prize - 2012 Nominees Exhibition Automatic translate

On October 26, the second competitive selection of nominees for the Kandinsky Prize began in Moscow. The venue was a new exhibition space equipped in the Udarnik cinema. Considering that this year the number of participants reached its zenith and amounted to 285 applications from artists of all ages, the event promises to be the most striking cultural event in the second half of 2012.

The exposition of the exhibition was formed from the 35 best works that managed to impress the jury and experts with their technique, courage of images, originality and psychologism. Artists who managed to get to this stage will face the most difficult - waiting for the results of the second stage of voting. The jury members must decide on the finalists who will receive prizes in two categories: “Project of the Year” and “Young Artist”. This year’s prize pool is 50,000 euros, which will allow the winners to fully supply themselves with paints, brushes and canvases!

And visitors to this impressive exhibition will be able to understand where contemporary art is moving and what problems excite the imagination of the current generation of artists. However, the organizers of the exhibition are sure that the impression will be twofold. After all, the presented cultural space is not homogeneous; on the contrary, it is full of contrasts. And how else can it be at the meeting place of the “past, present and future”, so extraordinarily decorated by creative people, tuned to a paradoxical perception of our world?!
