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.

Journey of the Private Moon in America

Lincoln Spaceship and moon landing
National Mall, Washington DC

In silent darkness of night as white spaceship with
astronaut Abraham Lincoln flying to the moon.
Wasted power! The moon itself has landed for all people here.
Under shadow of  the Washington monument
National Mall, Washington DC

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.

...take thy form from off my door!

House of Edgar Alain Poe 
Baltimore, MD.

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

Private moon in Accokeek forest

Red wagon.
Reiben house. Accokeek.

Broken lantern still does not go off
Pool of moonlight.
Reiben house. Accokeek.

Old pool — hat jumped in — sound of water
