"Where I was born, it came in handy" from Vasily Florensky in the Zverev Center for Contemporary Art Automatic translate

MOSCOW. The cultural life of Moscow does not fall into hibernation from a series of winter holidays and presents the exhibition of Vasily Florensky “Where he was born, it comes in handy”, prepared by the Zverev art center.

The grand opening of the exhibition is scheduled for January 13 - the symbolic date of the celebration of the Old New Year. Therefore, the theme of the exposition was a kind of rethinking of values ​​by modern people, in general, and representatives of creative professions, in particular.

Contemporary art has the ability to use any means and technical inventions to create works. In fact, now the artist knows no boundaries other than the limits of his own imagination.

And at the same time, the tendency of “returning to the origins” is clearly traced in society. The technocratic world is good for a comfortable life, but quickly bored. More and more people tend to live in nature, flipping through ordinary books, rather than electronic ones. And artists, especially those who like Vasily Florensky, have been promoting the ideas of contemporary art all their lives, are returning to the origins of painting. Smells of paint, exits to open airs, a long process of creating a painting… It was this that inspired the artist to create this exhibition.

The master is a member of the IFA, has repeatedly participated in major international exhibitions and creative projects. His works have long been in art museums and private collections in Europe, the CIS and America. And now, Muscovites have the opportunity to dive with it to the origins of our past. What may remind us that each person will be able to benefit society in the very place where he was destined to be born.
