Exhibition of Edmund Shklarsky Automatic translate

The name of Edmund Shklyarsky, the leader of the rock band “Picnic”, is primarily associated with music, but his interests include painting, the creation of new instruments, and the design of sets and musical robots.

The maze exhibition on the mysterious worlds of Edmund Shklyarsky will be held at the Artefice Gallery from October 17 to November 10, 2018. For several weeks, the heroes of paintings, stories and poems without the knowledge of the author will live their stories in the gallery space.

The musician will present to the public yet another manifestation of his creative “I” - more than 80 paintings and drawings, which have become the graphic embodiment of his poetic work. Surrealistic creatures in the paintings, generated by both dream and reality, although they have lost their external resemblance to a person, show rather the internal inertia of the soul, which will make them especially attractive and pleasing to the eye of the viewer.

Stage scenery, which could only be seen from the concert hall, will now be available for closer examination and interaction with the audience.

The robots announced in the exhibition program are the main mystery. The maestro does not reveal who this time will be the main mechanical hero: Robot Magician, Robot Artist, Robot Drummer, Robot Poet, but promises that he will create several compositions with him: a song? verse? a picture?

During the exhibition, the Artefice Gallery will host events with the participation of the author: an improvised literary meeting “The Word is the Wind / Here is the Word”, a concert for a mechanical robot, a chamber concert with the participation of Irina Sorokina (violin) and art mediation for the exhibition, which they will allow guests in the form of an open dialogue to find out what is painted on the author’s paintings and what isn’t actually painted, what the Elephant swears about, what the hieroglyphs on the Buddha’s tunic mean, where the Head travels and other subtleties of fine art zykanta. Author and host of art mediation Alina Shklyarskaya.
