Mikhail Rubanov. Personal exhibition in open studios

In the Open Studios of Winzavod, on the second floor, a program of personal exhibitions of residents has started. The exposition will be updated every two weeks. The program opened with a solo exhibition by Omsk artist Mikhail Rubankov.

Mikhail Rubankov about the project: “The exhibition is made up of works from different years, including those painted in the Studios. By design, all works are united by a certain multiculturalism. That is, the influence on me as an artist not only of the immediate environment, the reality where we live, but also of cultures and cults that are exotic for us. I grabbed something significant for myself from them and fixed it in my works. Therefore, next to the familiar bunny boys from Soviet childhood, you can see both dervishes and the goddess Kali.

Mikhail Rubankov (1983, Omsk). In 2005 he graduated from the Omsk State Technical University with a degree in Power Supply, later received additional education in Design and Operation of Oil and Gas Facilities. After graduation, he worked in design institutes as a designer. In 2018, he left designing and opened his own studio-workshop, currently Studio 34 (Omsk).

The Open Studios project is aimed at supporting young artists, combining the principles of a workshop, residence and art school based on one of the leading Russian art institutions, the Winzavod Center for Contemporary Art. An important component of the project is the educational direction, as well as the opportunity to work with a tutor, receive personal professional advice, participate in collective projects, artist talks and master classes.
