«VDNH»[1] –the exhibition of achievements of some artists. The main idea of this project is to bring together several authors of the different generations, established and those who just started their career. The initiative to propose the young artists was delegated to masters, who have been working with gallery for a long period of time (Vladimir Kustov, Vitaly Pushnitsky, Kirill Chelushkin, Boris Kazakov, Sergey Denikin).
Vladimir Kustov invited Sergey Tikhonov, one of his followers, who will show his paintings and light boxes at the exhibition. Vitaly Pushnitsky offered Nestor Engelke to interfere with his wooden objects inside his large scale picture. Kirill Chelushkin will form a pair with Kirill Makarov form “Nepokorennie Studio”. As for director and artist Boris Kazakov, he will continue to develop the “Doctors and the Hut” series alongside the paintings by Asya Marakulina. And video of Elena Slobtseva will enrich ephemeral installations and objects by Sergey Denikin.
The opening of the exhibition was the first one among series of events, where Marina Gisich gallery artists got a chance to bring new names to the gallery.
