20 November 2020, Friday

Аn unusual exhibition "Primus PushkinPatephone" by famous Moscow artists - designer AllaBedina and etcher Svetlana Lanshakova, curator - executive secretary of the Tretyakov Gallery magazine, Honorary Member of the Russian Academy of Arts, member of MCX, art critic NatellaVoiskunskaya is opening in Kazan.

PrimusPushkinPatefon is a nostalgic, romantic, ironic and partly parody project.

The center, the quintessence of the PPP project, its slogan, emblem, logo - triptych "PRIMUSPUSHKINPATEFON". This is a multi-layered sense-forming, linguistically difficult SOMETHING, in which a long-forgotten primus is merged into one word; Pushkin - we paraphrase  - is primus inter poetaetum (the first among poets), i.e. Primus Pushkin; and finally the gramophone, this portable gramophone invented by a certain Pathé.

In the PPP project, adults become children, and children ... Children remain children. At the exhibition, spectators will have to meet toys that neither adults nor children play with. With objects, at first glance, of decorative and applied art, which are not, for with all the brightness, flashiness, redundancy of an intricate and sometimes overloaded with details decor, decor is not an end in itself, and the object itself does not have any applied character ... Each detail is like a brushstroke - it is made to create a holistic impression: this is how the painter "sculpts" an image, working on a portrait or still life, in which there is not a single "non-speaking" detail.

 

In the "PPP" Project, viewers will meet with art objects, that is, with objects that represent not only material, but also artistic value. After all, Objet d'art (English equivalent to "art object") literally means an art object, or work of art. An art object is an object of art that evokes admiration for the creative imagination of the creator, his skill, the choice of material.

 

The exhibition will feature art objects made by the famous artist, graphic artist and designer AllaBedinawith the participation of the famous etcher and creator of "intellectual" textile jewelry Svetlana Lanshakova. The exposition will be supplemented with authentic items of the era from the Museum of Socialist Life, private collections, works of decorative and applied art from the collection of the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts. Educational classes and a New Year's program will be held for children from 8 years old.
