(Not) a Good Time for Love
Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center presents the exhibition (Not) a Good Time for Love. Love Stories of the Holocaust Survivors. The project is based on the recently published diaries, memoirs and biographies of the concentration camps prisoners, Jewish guerillas and members of the political underground as well as their children, grandchildren and invited biographers. Books recalling love and resistance in the times of the Holocaust are a recent phenomenon connected to the fact that there are less and less eyewitnesses alive and at the same time to the rising popularity of the New Sincerity. These stories remind us that Shoah is a tragedy with many faces and multiple consequences and can be seen through the everyday lives of the victims. The project presents 10 love stories of victims of the tragedy who lived through separation, death of their children, friends and relatives in the time of war. The exhibition will be filled with memories of the past weddings, dates in ghettoes, forbidden presents, mutual care, dreams of home, family and own land – Palestine. Witnesses’ stories engage into dialogue with works of contemporary artists exploring the history of the Holocaust and other military conflicts.

Federico Fellini: 100
From March 2020 to March 2021, the exhibition “Federico Fellini: 100” will tour for the ten largest cities in the world. Moscow will be the first city that meets the impressive universe of the Director Fillini. Visitors will be able to see more than 170 rare exhibits from state museums and private collections of different countries of the world: posters, costumes and props from the films, rare photographs, documents and drawings of the Maestro. The organizers of the exhibition – the State Central Museum of cinema, the Embassy of Italy in Moscow Italian Institute of culture in Moscow and the Agency COR – have hard work to show in all its glory the life and work of Federico Fellini and reveal the eclecticism and diversity of his talent. Unique exhibits are provided by the Central State Archive of Rome, Archive of the “Cinemazero Images”, the Historical Archive of the Luce and private collectors, among them the niece of the Director and one of the exhibition curators Francesca Fabbri Fellini.

Guy Bourdin. Follow Me
Guy Bourdin is internationally recognized for his provocative and convention resisting images. The Lumiere Brothers Center for Photography in Moscow presents Bourdin’s retrospective exhibition which features more than fifty of the artist’s most iconic works, created between the 1950s and the mid-1980s. Originally a painter, deployed aerial photographer and later an apprentice of Man Ray, Guy Bourdin developed a signature style in photography – mainly in the realms of commercial and fashion, but at the same time very autonomous works – highlighted with bright colours, surreal elements and according apply of his models. The images as presented in Moscow range from Bourdin’s personal archives to campaigns assigned by French Vogue and Charles Jourdan. In these works, Bourdin reflected themes of perversions, lust and consumption, while deliberately avoiding mere product representation. Thereby, Bourdin’s radical approach still has an immense impact on the fashion world today.

Russian Wedding
The official wedding lists of the tsars Mikhail Fedorovich and Alexei Mikhailovich, the wedding icon of Tsarina Evdokia Fedorovna Lopukhina and other items tell about the formation of the Russian wedding tradition and the magnificent royal wedding. Among the rare and especially valuable exhibits at the exhibition are wooden high reliefs depicting a peasant wedding. They were made by an unknown sculptor of the late 18th - early 19th centuries and presented to the exhibition by the Tver Regional Art Gallery. An authentic weaving mill of the beginning of the 19th century, spinning combs, painted spinning wheels and sewing machines of the 18th – 19th centuries from different regions of Russia tell about the important role of the dowry for the bride and the techniques of its preparation, including embroidery and preparation of the “tailor” - part of the traditional homespun dowry or factory textiles. At the exhibition you can see a wide variety of girls' hats, which have great symbolic meaning. In different regions, they played the role of wedding. After the wedding, they performed the ancient rite of "winding up": the young wife was combed with a braid and changed her headdress to a new one that completely covered her hair. A change in hairstyle and headgear testified to a final change in status.
