GRUND Sandy.
“Winter practices. Horrible in art. ”
GRUND “Sandy” offers to see the frightening side of winter. The exposition “Terrible in Art” will feature works by young artists Alexei Vasilyev, Maria Minakova, the art group CrocodilePower (Oksana Simatova and Petr Goloshchapov) and famous artist and curator Katya Bochavar.
Young artists of the Triumph Gallery - Masha Minakova, Alexei Vasilyev and the CrocodilePower art group - reflect on elusive reality, in their works there is a deconstruction of winter images, an unusual game with a familiar idea of New Year’s decoration, as an attempt to escape from an alien, artificial world as in this life, and after it.
“The Phantom Theater” - an unusual project using “animated pictures” presented in the state gallery on Solyanka - makes the New Year’s visit to GRAND “Sandy”. No wonder, because the author of The Phantom Theater is the curator of GRAUND, the artist Katya Bochavar. Now in the house on Novopeschanaya street ghosts will settle…
The leading theater and film actresses - Yulia Shimolina, Eva Cherro, Anna Khvostenko, Anna Litkens, Evgenia Borzykh - in mysterious twilight will tell fairy tales of the peoples of the world about snow fairies under improvisation, performed on ancient instruments by the legendary Russian musicians Pyotr Aidu, German Vinogradov, Grigory Krotenko and Elena Revich. Costumes for this performance were provided by famous Moscow designers and artists Khaik Simonyan, Sasha Frolova, Svetlana Tegin, Galina Solodovnikova and Dmitry Fedorov.
GRUND Khodynka.
