Exhibition "Dialectics and Metaphysics of the City" (6+) Automatic translate

August 1 in the gallery "Belyaevo" Association "Exhibition Halls of Moscow" will officially open the exhibition "Dialectics and metaphysics of the city." The exposition will include about 100 paintings and graphic works by Russian artists on the urban environment.

The exhibition “Dialectics and metaphysics of the city” is an attempt to tell about the city as a special reality, squeezed out of the natural environment, aggressively advancing on it, but at the same time striving to achieve a new harmony in alliance with it. Using a variety of artistic languages ​​and plastic interpretations - from abstraction to video art - artists create a complex, stereoscopic image of the city, filled with personal experiences, thoughts, feelings, sensations.

So, for example, the image of the city of Denis Pyanov is interpreted by the artist in his historical and existential contradictions: the way the citadel of modern civilization is a safe haven of man; the way the Kafkian anthill castle. In a series of city facades of Irina Bogdanova, along with a realistic embodiment of plastic and lighting, there is at the same time a reference to the abstract construction of the composition, to the laconic geometry of color spots. The foggy winter Venice of Elena Gagarina is similar to the image of the city created by Brodsky in the essay "Fondamenta degli incurabili". The urban aesthetics of Inna Volvak is what can be seen both in the clearance of freight cars, and behind the rusty gates of the train station, and on the graffiti-covered walls of industrial buildings on the outskirts of Milan. St. Petersburg of Anna Smoryginoy is real and phantasmagoric at the same time. Its courtyards and gateways are gloomy and deserted, and this monumental void is a vacuum of a special property. Vasily Krotkov seeks to comprehend the endless essence of the city with the help of cubofuturism tools, trying to give it a new sound.

Thanks to the stylistic and genre polyphony, the viewer has at his disposal a whole range of individual author’s interpretations, which allow one to look carefully at the horizon again, to see obscure silhouettes of the future human civilization, city, and art.
