Opening day party on October 22, 2024

On October 22, the Vinzavod Center for Contemporary Art hosted a traditional Opening Day Evening, where nine galleries presented new exhibitions. Pop/off/art Gallery has opened Ivan Ivy's solo exhibition "Witness to Someone Else's Life". The author's new project addresses, on the one hand, the topic of memory and its ability to modify images of the past, idealize memories and rebuild them into something new, and, on the other, the problem of constructing the image of the future. VLADEY Space presents an exhibition of Leonid Tskhe's works. These are self—portrait watercolors and a monumental six-meter work fr om the period of quarantine and self-isolation - presented to the general public for the first time. The exhibition will also be complemented by works from the Mono Tse project, painted with only one paint — burnt bone, and a new series "Menina", in which the artist enters into a dialogue with Velasquez. HSE ART GALLERY presents "Diploma24. Gaps of History", a group exhibition of graduation projects of graduates of the School of Design. The Diploma24 exhibition largely reflects the mindset of the mid-20s of the 21st century: the nonlinearity and multilayeredness of time, the selectivity of memory and the gaps that arise in it. The participants of the exhibition fill in these "white spots", exploring deeper and deeper layers of experience. 11.12 The GALLERY presents Vladimir Semyonsky's project "Everything becomes transparent and explicit," in which the emotions and feelings invested by the author in his work play a major role. Semyonsky fills his works not so much with concepts as with moods: as if, along with paints, the artist mixes feelings and states that are directly transmitted to the viewer and energize him. The exhibition of the philosopher, composer and artist Vladimir Martynov "Ontograms of autoarchaeology in the space of Dmitry Poshvin's autoarchaeology" has opened in the a—s—t—r—a gallery. It combines philosophical, musical and visual intuitions that Vladimir Martynov has been developing over the years. The gallery space will become a place for the viewer to transform into the one being considered, a place wh ere a person has no control over objects, and the love of life is more important than its meaning. Totibadze Gallery presents Goga Totibadze's Chiaroscuro project. "Chiaroscuro" (from Italian "light – dark" or French "clair – obscur") describes the noticeable contrast of light and shadow in painting, graphics or print. In a series of works presented at the exhibition, Gogi Totibadze decided to abandon the color scheme characteristic of his work and created a series of works depicting the contrast between dark and light, between the sun and shadow. The Triangle Gallery presents The Pond of Memory, the second solo exhibition by Chinese artist Joh Ho Xu. In the new project, the Triangle Gallery presents Jojoe's graphics, allowing Moscow viewers to compare the application of the artist's style and main themes to different mediums. BIS ART GALLERY has opened Daria Semenova's solo exhibition "A Very gentle Forest". In her project, the artist presents the result of months of observations of the forest, its visitors, their lives and habits. However, in her works she does not reproduce what she has seen directly, but refracts visible reality and opens up a world through the looking glass full of mysteries and beauty. Demyan Kuleshov's solo exhibition "G AZ. Industrial eroticism". The new project brings the viewer back to the consideration of the sensuality of the world, its depth and poetry. Sincerity and admiration are mixed here with the pathos of grandiosity of production, and "picturesque eroticism" in this case is associated with the process of painting itself.
