JOURNEY OF THE PRIVATE MOON TO FORMOSA

JOURNEY
OF THE PRIVATE MOON TO FORMOSA
19.11 –
25.12.2013
Human
can never pluck the moon,
But
she always goes with our step.
Shines
as a mirror over red palace,
And
thru the green mist she glitters.
These lines
by Li Bai became prophetic for artist Leonid Tishkov. For ten years he has been
wandering all over the world with a moon, to be more precise – with an electric
crescent moon, like a lunar dervish, having visited with his companion Austria,
England, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Latvia, Czech Republic,
Japan, New Zealand, Kazakhstan, the USA and many towns across Russia. In 2012,
the artist travelled to the island Formosa, or modern Taiwan. This journey
resulted in the exhibition in the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, in the south
of the island. Pechersky Gallery presents an exhibition, which may be called a
report on this Chinese trip, exposing photographs, artist’s poetry and video.
Project is
accomplished with the help of Kaohsiung City Government, City Portal: Museum
Park Public Art Project, Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts.
