The first exhibition of the “Gallery A3” in 2016, opens immediately after the onset of the Old New Year - one of the most “family” holidays. He refers the viewer to the problems of family history, and this is certainly more than just a coincidence. Summing up the past, planning for the future, we usually do in a circle of close people - those with whom we have the closest relationships, in relation to which we experience the most intense experiences.

The exhibition of Albina Voronkova and Taras Pogorely discloses the stories of the intertwining traditions of the artistic family, not so much as a blessed holy story, but as a phantasmagoric story, an absurdist theater. It mixes epochs, genres and styles, impossibly combines materials - from painting, drawing and classical tapestry to assemblies of high-tech garbage and installations with objects of rural life. Presenting the extraordinary story of their family, artists inevitably become witnesses to our common time, offering to experience a sense of shared historical involvement.
