Exhibition «A(rt)R(ussia)T(oday) - index»With support from the Latvian Ministry of Culture, as part of Russian Culture Days in Latvia, the Russian State Contemporary Art Centre and the Latvian National Museum of Art’s exhibition centre «Arsen?ls» have organized a large-scale and heretofore-unseen-in-Latvia project - «A(rt)R(ussia)T(oday) - index».
25 artistic projects are on display whose creators hail from various regional cities – Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizniy Novgorod, Kaliningrad, Yekaterinburg and Novosibirsk. Riga has not seen such a major Russian art exhibit in the past 20 years.
»ART - index», taking into account the amount of knowledge Western art fans and professionals have, offers a solid overview of current art trends, styles and innovations in Russia and the key artists behind them. Such names like Oleg Kulik, Vadim Zaharov, Leonid Tishkov, Sergei Shutov, the group «Blue Noses» and «Провмыза» are among those featured.
The show is made up of major projects and installations, displayed in clever point-counterpoint, i.e. the works of young artists are shown in contrast to the works of established artists. The essence of this exhibit is the stance taken by its curators – to reflect Russian art trends as complex and contradictory.
