The Moscow Exhibition Halls Association presents the Gala Opening of the Electromuseum in Rostokino Automatic translate
The “Electric Museum in Rostokino” (Rostokinskaya St., 1) is a new bright venue for the Moscow Exhibition Halls Association, the main focus of which is modern interactive and electronic art.
October 22 at 18.00 in the "Electromuseum in Rostokino" will be held immediately three shock events. On the territory of the Electromuseum, the Moscow Gallery of Sound Art will open, a permanent exhibition collected from the works of the Electroboutique group will begin its work, and the opening day of Mikhail Maximov’s unique interactive video installation will be held.
The Moscow Gallery of Sound Art (MGZI) is the first stationary gallery project in Russia, technically and conceptually designed to display works in the field of experimental sound (initiated by the SoundArtist.ru community with the support of the Electromuseum, curated by Sergey Kasich). Multichannel sound sculptures (up to 20 channels) with free arrangement of sound sources, as well as any other forms of sound art, will be exhibited in the gallery space. The first exhibit of this series will be an 8-channel spatial sound sculpture, commissioned by the "Electromuseum in Rostokino" electronic music guru, the famous German experimenter Marcus Popp (known as the Oval project). Despite the radical nature of Popp’s work, the Oval sound remains surprisingly beautiful and attractive to listeners.
You can listen to Marcus Popp until November 16th.
The permanent exhibition "Electromuseum in Rostokino" presents the work of pioneers of Russian media art. The curators of the Electromuseum in Rostokino, artists Aristarch Chernyshev and Aleksey Shulgin, collected a stylish exposition from works that already became classics of the beginning of the 21st century. Among them are “3G International”, “wowPod”, “Transitions” and other works of the “Electric Boutique” group, which critically interpret the influence of creative capitalism on consciousness, culture and art. After exhibitions in Berlin, London, Milan, Madrid, Oslo and other European cities, Electroboutique finds its home in Moscow!
Personal exhibition of Mikhail Maximov “Treading” will demonstrate to the public interactivity and 3D not for their own sake, but with meaning.
Mikhail Maximov is a talented artist who is well versed in contemporary art discourses and technologies of virtual reality and interactivity.
His masterly mastery of 3D programming is embodied both in the impressive 10-meter interactive projection presented in the Electromuseum in Rostokino and in smaller, but no less interesting video works. At the exhibition "Treading" Maximov invites the viewer to become a demiurge, managing a thousand-headed crowd in real time using a tablet.
The exhibition of Mikhail Maximov "Trampling" will last until November 16.
