Hein Gorny: New Objectivity and Industry
GornyMultimedia Art Museum presents Hein Gorny: New Objectivity and Industry. Products and Image Design 1920s-1930s in Germany. Hein Gorny was a much sought-after industrial and commercial photographer in Germany. Gorny intentionally employs dynamic structures but maintains the legibility of the image as a primary focus. Ultimately, standardized forms of representation were intended to underline their objectivity and to enable the viewer to quickly grasp the depicted products in terms of purpose and quality. In his timeless image design Gorny brought together the objectivity and drive for progress, with which these firms confronted the demands of the era. He integrated the formal vocabulary and experimental spirit of New Photography into everyday practice and thus became a master of this applied style.

Geliy Korzhev
KorzhevThis will be the most comprehensive monographic exhibition of Geliy Mikhailovich Korzhev (1925–2012), the last famous Russian realist painter of the 20th century. Getting to know the artist’s works is like a complicated and sometimes painful conversation, which is difficult but necessary for the modern audience. The works by Korzhev are filled with drama and human empathy. The subjects and characters in his paintings reach a maximum of meaningful and emotional concentration. The exhibition provides an opportunity to see the art of the painter ranking among the titans of the second half of the last century’s Russian painting. The exhibition will feature works from the State Tretyakov Gallery, the Russian Museum, ROSIZO, the Institute of Russian realistic art, Russian and foreign private collections. More info

Moscow Metro. Subterranean Monument
MetroOne of the most grandiose projects of the Land of the Soviets, the Moscow Metro opened 80 years ago, in 1935, and has become a unique architectural and engineering structure, a functional and popular mode of transport, and an example of decorative and applied art of world significance. This exhibition project by the Museum of Architecture presents a history of the Moscow Metro’s creation in structural plans, historical photographs and archive materials. We focus on the first four stages of Metro construction, launched between 1935 and 1954. The display begins with works by renowned architects Ivan Fomin, Alexei Dushkin, Dmitry Chechulin, Alexei Schusev and Vladimir Gelfreikh. Stations from various periods are shown here, all recognised as superior examples by contemporaries: Krasniye Vorota,Kropotkinskaya, Komsomolskaya, Taganskaya, Elektrozavodskaya, etc. Many Metro stations and pavilions were erected as the result of architectural competitions, although winning projects were often altered in the modification process. Particularly valuable in historical terms are original versions of Moscow Metro station plans and decoration designs that noticeably differ from their present-day appearance. Unique station projects entered in competitions but never implemented are exhibited here for the first time.

Olympia Edouard Manet
KorzhevPerhaps the most famous masterpiece of one of the founders of impressionism, written in 1863, and only once they left the walls of the musée d'Orsay in Paris, will appear at the exhibition surrounded by three works from the collection of the Pushkin Museum. Painting "Queen (king's Wife)" Paul Gauguin (1895), paintings, "the lady at the toilet" Giulio Pippi, called Romano (beginning 1520-?), and sculpture of the Aphrodite of Cnidus by Praxiteles (Roman copy from the original of CA. 350 BC). Starting point for the emergence of "Olympia" was the desire of Edouard Manet to rethink and shaped plastic "formula" "Venus of Urbino" by Titian in the spirit of its era, that is, to write a modern Venus. "It is our duty, - claimed Manet, - to be removed from our era all it has to offer, not forgetting that it was opened and found to us."

Sergei Gerasimov. Watercolor, charcoal, sanguine
GerasimovSergei Gerasimov's watercolor, charcoal and sanguine works is a part of the project “The Tretyakov Gallery opens its store”. Sergei Vasilievich Gerasimov (1885-1964) is one of the most recognizable artists of the socialist realism. He was known throughout the Russian art world to be a liberal thinker whose paintings showed the influences of Impressionism and other modern movements. His paintings became a touchstone for the Soviet art in the first half of the 20th century. However, his graphic works are hardly known to the general audience. The exhibition includes 80 works, most of which have not been exhibited since 1985.

Steve Fitch: Western Landmarks
FitchMultimedia Art Museum collaboretion with Robert Koch Gallery. Fitch, well-known for his anthropological studies of the American West, the exhibition features selections from his acclaimed 1970s series Diesels & Dinosaurs, augmented by color photographs from Western Landmarks, photographed in the 80s and 90s. After graduating with a degree in anthropology from UC Berkeley, Fitch began taking road trips to photograph what he refers to as “the vernacular of the journey,” capturing the spirit of Jack Kerouac’s On the Road and celebrating the cultural landscape of the two-lane highway. Acting as a visual anthropologist who uses photography to collect material, Fitch photographed pre-franchise neon motel signs, big rig trucks, truck-stop waitresses, and quirky roadside attractions like snake pits and dinosaur parks, re-creating his childhood experience of road trips in the family Buick. Though he wasn’t aware of it at the time, Fitch was drawn to particular aspects of Americana on the verge of extinction, like mom-and-pop motels and drive-in theaters, anachronisms in today’s culture of air travel and multilane interstates.

Vasiliy Kandinskiy. Counterpoint: Composition VI - Composition VII
KandinskyFor the 150th anniversary of the artist. In 2016, the entire world of art celebrates the anniversary of Vasiliy Kandinsky (1866-1944), one of the leaders of abstract art. The exhibition set up by the Tretyakov Gallery and the State Hermitage will be a highlight of the year. Last time, these works were shown together in 1989. The dialogue of the two most famous 1913’s works by Kandinskiy will kindle the interest to the artist’s work in the new generation of art lovers. The communication with Kandinsky’s masterpieces will enable the viewers to perceive the emotional and sensual world of his works and enjoy the “effect of presence” to the utmost. As an important addition, the exhibition will feature a multimedia project “The Path to Abstraction”, which will show the process of formation of non-figurative painting on the example of a painting by Kandinskiy.
