EXHIBITION "FAKE / fake" official opening of the SKOLKOVO gallery-workshop Automatic translate

On November 12, at 19:00, the first FAKE / Counterfeit exhibition will be held, opening the work of the Skolkovo Hall (formerly the Phoenix Exhibition Hall) under the artistic direction of Konstantin Grouss in a new gallery-workshop format. Over the next years, Skolkovo will present projects of Russian and foreign artists created in the format of an art residence with themes of social relationships, architectural phenomena and hidden situations in the context of a modern metropolis.

The curators of the FAKE / Fake exhibition Kirill Preobrazhensky and Maria Sharova suggested that students of the Free Workshops School of Contemporary Art make interpretations of works by authors of the 20th and 21st centuries that are important to them.

“Is everything that we see the present? The clothes we wear. The food we eat. News that we read. The truths we believe in. In the modern world, it’s worth checking back several times before trusting anything. And most importantly, is there any point in the truth? Is it worth, for example, to collect works of art? Or will collecting honest fakes be much more honest now? ”

Come see Gerhard Richter, Mark Quinn, Nam June Pike and many more.

Artists: Maria Agapkina, Elena Budlovsky, Natasha Van Budman, Ekaterina Danenova, Alexandra Knyazeva, Irina Kravchina, Evgenia Krasavchik, Sergey Kulikov, Olga London, Maria Molokova, Natalya Monakhova, Andrey Slashchilin, Maria Poluektova, Daria Polyakova, Elena Sakharnaya, Ilya Fedotov -Fedorov, Kamo Tsaturyan.
