Exhibition "Forms in Space" 0+ Automatic translate

For the first time, the work of S. Bordachev, a classic of the Russian avant-garde of the 20th century, will be presented as a single and indissoluble whole, combining two paradoxically different directions in the artist’s work: abstractionism in painting and graphics, including abstract geometric shapes, and assemblies assembled from very specific objects.

Being a representative of the so-called “second Russian avant-garde” S. Bordachev is a direct continuation of the line and theories of Suprematist K. Malevich, one of the pillars of the “first Russian avant-garde”, which “nullified” the history of figurative art by the famous “Black Square”, which the suprematists themselves called “zero forms ". The exhibition is full of quotes from the texts of artists K. Malevich, V. Kandinsky, E. Lisitsky, A. Rodchenko, I. Klyun, S. Luchishkin and others, indicating continuity of forms and explaining the interpretation of meanings in the works of Sergei Bordachev.

The exhibition presents works (paintings, graphics, assemblages, objects) belonging to the author, as well as from the collections of M. Alshibay, A. Mironov and E. Nutovich.

S. Bordachev’s works are in the State Tretyakov Gallery, in the State Russian Museum, in the Museum of Modern Art (MMOMA), in the collection of Kremlin Museums, in the NCCA, in the collection of the Russian Culture Foundation, the National Center for Arts and Culture of Georges Pompidou (France), in Zimmerli Art Museum (USA), Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam), as well as in 14 private collections in Russia and other countries. S. Bordachev is a participant in the Bulldozer Exhibition in Moscow (1974).
