2. “Schukin. Biography collection
from June 19 - September 15, 2019
Pushkin Museum to them. A.S. Pushkin will show one of the most significant collections of art of European modernism, covering the most important artistic movements of the late XIX - early XX century.
The last time the exhibition of the Schukin Assembly was shown in 2016 in Paris in the building of the Foundation Louis Vuitton. Of course there were suggestions that the Moscow project will become the French version, but we got a new story and more heroes.
If in Paris the collection of only Sergei Ivanovich Schukin (1854–1936) was exhibited, in Moscow it was diluted and supplemented with the collections of the brothers Peter, Dmitry and Ivan. They inherited a passion for gathering from Mikhail Botkin, a maternal uncle, and were immersed in the process long before Sergei.
Exhibition in the Pushkin Museum to them. A.S. Pushkin will recreate the dramatic story of the Shukin merchant family, its unprecedented power and extinction after the 1917 revolution.
The history of the Shchukins family will be told with the help of the greatest masterpieces of art: impressionist and modernist canvases, unique works of oriental art, paintings by old masters and pieces of French furniture of the 18th century.
The exposition will allow the viewer to plunge into the life of Moscow, Paris and Berlin of the beginning of the 20th century, rich in artistic events, the active participants of which were the Shchukins brothers.
The exhibition will include iconic works by Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Cezanne, Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso and other masters.
The central part of the exhibition will show the way of Sergey Schukin as a collector, and will allow him to see how his taste was formed and changed.
Starting with quite traditional landscapes, in less than 20 years, Sergey Schukin created one of the world's best collections of new French painting.
Although he entered the history as a collector of radical painting, going against the generally accepted tastes. He acquired not those works that were liked by everyone, but those that provoked the strongest emotional response in him. In the collection of Shchukin there are enough works, without which it is already impossible to imagine the general history of art of the twentieth century.
 
3. Brothers Morozov. Great Russian collectors, the Hermitage, the General Staff, the Grand Enfilade until October 6.

The brilliant marquis of Jampietro Campana had one of the best 19th-century Italian collections of Antiquity and Renaissance.

8. Exhibition “Place under the sun. Benkov / Feshin ”at the Museum of Russian Impressionism until September 24.
This private museum enjoys discovering new names and presenting rare items from private collections. The concept of the exhibition turned out to be quite curious: the almost forgotten Pavel Benkov joined Nikolay Feshin, the famous Russian émigré. Artists were best friends, both studied painting from one teacher and wrote in a similar manner. And after their fate divorced: Feshin went to America, and Benkov - to Soviet Uzbekistan. Comparison of their early and late works turns into an incredible act.

There is something to think about ...
 
11. Ivan Gorshkov “The Fountain of All”, Moscow Museum of Modern Art on Gogol Boulevard until August 25.
“Hooligan” sculptures and installations from a Russian author from Voronezh, many of which were created specifically for this exhibition. Only the names of the exhibits are worth: “Utopia of Dragons”, “Crystal Boots”, “Hyper Jump and Anteater”, but in reality they make a completely indelible impression.

12. POP UP MUSEUM of modern Russian art and NIKOLSKAYA GALLERY on summer holidays are greeted by exhibition projects of modern Russian authors until the end of September:
“Ambrotypes. The series of Alexander Boguslavsky is an exhibition of a contemporary artist and photographer Alexander Boguslavsky, who combined authentic photography techniques with modern technologies.
Ambrotypes are volumetric images on glass plates that bring us as close as possible to painting. To create them requires long exposures: the models must remain fixed for 10, 15, 20 seconds. The camera captures not a moment, but a segment of life. With breathing, micromovements of the eyes and skin, and most importantly - with thoughts, emotions, mood changes. This allows you to see the very "fluidity", which Leo Tolstoy wrote in the novel "Sunday".
“Orlitsky vs.” Max Orlitsky and Alexey Vasilyev are a performative project about the conflict and the boundaries of individual statements. The project is an interactive show designed to bring the artist's kitchen to the public. According to the idea, the artist finds interesting artists to him, medially different artists to a duel, in which rivals select each other’s works that are relevant to them and within three hours they transform, deconstruct, or only incrusted them under the supervision of cameras and spectators.
Aleksnadr Oligerov presented a large-scale exhibition, Heavenly Chancellery, an artist with an international career that won recognition from galleries around the world, a member of the Moscow and Paris Unions of Artists.
The exposition of the Heavenly Chancellery will acquaint the viewer with philosophical ideas, as well as witty observations of the artist, whose mediators are birds and airspace on canvas. Bypassing strict moralism, Oligerov combines the format of a parable and positive symbolism in the meaning of his work. In each work, one feels sympathy for the Man, the complexities and joys of his life path. Also, the viewer will be interested in the unique style of the artist - a combination of Lettrism and abstraction, which broadcast his ideas through the canvases. The exhibition will run until September 10, 2019.
The exhibition “Go LesOMM” of Marina and Kirill Rakhmatullin, which will last until the end of the year. The intriguing title of the exhibition encompasses the transformation of the well-known marginal expression “go through the forest” into the urge to move to the sacred, where Ohm is at the end - the sound of power, the most famous in the world of mantra. In many cultures, the forest is a generalized symbol of the natural world, a metaphor of life and danger, above all the dangers of various metamorphoses and death. In their project, sculptors consider nature and man as accomplices of a single action, carnival and tragic, reviving and slaying. Each series, as well as separate works, is devoted to archetypical images that reveal the sphere of the border between the visible world of physical phenomena and the invisible sphere of the metaphysical.
"From Tao to Tao" Dmitry Plotkin presented a large-scale exhibition. Huge canvases, hypnotizing with their detail, await the viewer in the second atrium of the museum.
The main idea of ​​the project is the responsibility of Mankind to itself and to the Nature that gave birth to it for the future. Tao for Dmitry Plotkin is an absolute matter, which is in perfect harmony. It is her life-giving energy that creates a kind of original chaos from which the world is gradually built. Thus, from picture to picture, the stages of its existence are revealed up to the moment of inevitable death and the new accession of the Tao. The project shows the “history” of the creation of man, his best and worst sides and the possible decline of his civilization. ⠀
 
13. BURNING MAN
from August 25 to September 2.
Back in 1986, a small company of friends headed by artist Larry Harvey made a small figure out of scrap metal and wood, dragged it to one of the beaches of San Francisco, doused it with gasoline and burned it publicly. Such an unusual spontaneous art event interested the public, many wondered - what else the organizers will invent?
The fantasy of friends turned out to be limitless; as a result, the world received an annual colorful festival called Burning Man. The festival allows to reveal the talent of absolutely anyone: an artist, inventor, architect, designer, musician.
Here the rule works perfectly - according to the clothes one meets and the more creative the outfit the better.
And this year, @WeldQueen sculptor @POPUP_MUSEUM, whose sculpture is in the private collection of BC NEO GEO, will present its work “Airfield for walking in the clouds”.
The “airfield for walking in the clouds” is a model of a fantastic airfield measuring 72x40 feet with ten liners of the dream “Armchairs for walking in the clouds”.
The airfield is a place where people can go on a journey to the depths of their inner space. This year, Burning Man will be held from August 25 to September 2.
