JOURNEY OF THE PRIVATE MOON TO FORMOSA
LEONID TISHKOV
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.

How to become a genius artist without any drop of talent
 |
In May 2013, O.G.I. Publishers published the second extended edition of Leonid Tishkov’s book, How to Become a Genius Artist if You Have No Talent. The book, illustrated by the author, combines in a holistic narrative a number of literary genres: memoirs, stories about artists (ancient Japanese and Chinese artists, European masters from the Renaissance to the 20th century), and descriptions of various art practices. This publication became the most complete biography of Tishkov, who is considered one of the major myth creators of the present day.
The artist will also talk about his recent exhibitions and works included in NCCA’s collection, among which are such famous installation as Solveig, Private Moon, Higher, Higher, and Higher and others.

The Private moon and I in the desert solitudes that surround it,
as the tired pigs dozing in the holy calm of its protecting shadow.

Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;-
This it is, and nothing more."

Nightfall in Antietam

At 10 am Union Gen. Ambrose Burnside's Ninth Corps began its
assaults on the Lower Bridge. By 1 pm Federals had driven the
Confederates from the bluff overlooking the creek.
The battle ended about 6 pm.
Of nearly 100, 000 soldiers engaged in battle,
about 23,000 were killed, wounded, or missing...
