"Overripe fingers of elephants" Automatic translate

Overripe fingers of elephants - not just the name of the exhibition. According to Andrei Bartenev, the fingers of elephants are spray cans that are used by street artists. "Why are they overripe? Yes, because they spray! - considers Bartenev. “We are not opening the next graffiti exhibition, but are trying in one fell swoop to close the distance between street art and modern painting, sculpture and video art, combine them into one installation, and destroy everyday life with bright colors and positive images.”

Almost all summer, the gallery was full of work invisible from the street. In July, an open call was announced, following which the curator selected 50 artists - from very young to quite adults - whose job it was to come to the gallery on that day and decorate the wall, or a piece of the wall, or a separate piece of drywall, or hardboard, or canvas. We can already say with confidence that the exhibition “Overripe Fingers of the Elephants” is that rare case in curatorial practice when the preparatory period is much longer than the exposition — the exhibition was prepared for two months, and only one will work.

The opening will be performed by the artist Alosha Mordasha and his fiery group “Monthly” and Marika & Leopard with the performance “Chaos Sense Delight”.
