Grisha Bruskin,
Sasha Pirogova, Recycle Group (Georgy Kuznetsov, Andrei Blokhin)
|
Semyon Mikhailovsky
|
The curator is associated with the Russian government. The exhibition was originally the latter three, but Bruskin was added to show the breadth of Russia's contemporary arts. Bruskin, an older artist, makes prints that show how his faith conflicts with his country's politics. Pirogova uses movement and motion, and the Recycle Group explores societal excess and the materials that will remain when the world ends.
