Exhibition "Special Drawing, or Graphics-non-graphics"

In the gallery "Nagornaya" opens the exhibition "Special Drawing, or Graphics-not-graphics" - the first independent exhibition project of four graphic artists, graduates of the Moscow Art and Art Museum in memory of 1905 (department "Graphic Design").

The attitude of novice artists to academic art developed during his studies at the Moscow State Art University. Studying traditional graphic techniques, turning to calligrams (graphic poems, the text of which is written in the form of drawings), then to collages, young artists searched for the necessary means for self-expression. The direction of their work, without a precise definition, was given the code name "Special Drawing".

The result of the creative experiments of the Quartet was the formation of an alternative view of the concept of graphics. Their innovative ideas took shape, transformed into images that are free from definitions. The exhibition will feature works created by the author’s method specifically for the exhibition, as well as video art.

The exhibition is held as part of the celebration of the 90th anniversary of the Moscow State Art Academy in memory of 1905.
