"Spirit and soil" in the State Concert Hall "On Kashirka"

More than ever today, the theme claimed by Russian artists in the mid-nineties of the last century is relevant. In a country where ideological mechanisms are currently broken, where it is difficult to deal with modern moral guidelines, where incentives and interests are misused.

The topic is quite interesting and fertile. And not only on the paths of dead ends and speculation. She, this topic, should be discussed precisely in the field of art, which has great potential. On the ways of understanding. Compounds and smoothing contradictions. In processes that can play a constructive role. In search of a compromise of mutual additions, closer to understanding the inexplicable. What Sergey Kuskov characterized as the “indecomposable spiritual core” of the vertical-horizontal, material / spiritual. Where the soil serves as the key to a multi-ethnic community, and the “spiritualized corporeality of the landscape” serves as an expression of “concrete mystical”.

In the plane connecting the inexplicable with the rational, and the conservative reinforces the role of the advanced vanguard. Despite the fact that globalism seems to have won. And material wealth has become the main measure of success.

The exhibition aims to study the boundaries of the material and the mystical, history and modernity, the cosmopolitanism of patriotism. In all the beauty of the refracting sides, intersections, mutual additions, competition of the material with the immaterial. Highlighting individual features. In a strong powerful environment. Setting the tone, creating a tone, organizing a provocative. Revealing the presence of will and creative creative power.
