Poster and The Village magazines drew attention to the fact that the project, in which real “masters of light” from Russia, Austria, Germany, Holland, the USA and France take part, goes beyond the Garden Ring, and this is a “good reason to go to remote district galleries.

Each project work creates its own zone of existence, being included in a single installation field, allowing light energy to acquire a wide variety of forms of communication. ” The Lucida Space exposition in the Belyaevo Gallery, evolving from the early discoveries of the art of light in the works of Bulat Galeyev, Vyacheslav Koleichuk, Francisco Infante, Alexander Lavrentiev, Leonid Tishkov to the latest evidence in the works of Alexei Dkov, Alla Urban, Vladimir Smolyar, Oleg Kolosheylets and, clearly demonstrates the history of visual light forms, its dramaturgy, conflicts and harmonic harmony. ” Within the framework of the exhibition “Lucida Space” in the Belyaevo Gallery, LIGHTFORUMS will be held with the participation of experts in the field of classical and contemporary art.
