"Come on, Come on, Kohl"

The Gelman Marat Gallery is expelled from the territory of the Winzavod CSI . Rather, they have already actually kicked out. “... Over the past few years, the gallery has changed its name and forms of activity several times. Not always the artistic component was a priority. The exhibition space of the Gelman Marat Gallery has been repeatedly used for third -party purposes that are not directly related to art, moreover, there was a violation of the procedure for paying rent. Moreover, on October 21, from the official mailing of the gallery, we received information about the opening of Montenegro on the territory of the emigration center, which served as the final occasion in favor of the decision to terminate the contract, ”says the official letter sent by the PR service of the Winzavod. Gelman himself believes that the reason was an auction in the gallery in favor of political prisoners in the “swamp business”. However, the reason could be another - sooner or later it should have happened. Everything went to that. In recent years, the Winzavod has constantly had claims to Helman. The galleryman himself is not particularly upset - as everyone knows, he has something to do in Montenegro.

In the next farewell post on Facebook, the galleryman says that he sorry for the owner of the center Sofu Trotsenko and her husband, as well as the “updated” website of Lenta.ru Alexander Mamut: “They greatly mention their business, the matter of their hands to demonstrate loyalty. But the bitter truth lies in the fact that it is they who prolong the life of the regime. Not United Russia-Duboloma, thieves and bandits, but so smart, understanding everything, self-mast, but do not have the character of people. ” There is even nothing to add to the assessment of the described characters.

But after all, people should probably understand the management of the center, which will not allow them exclusively with honey and fur coats.

Another question is important: what about those who remain at the “Winzavod”? And these are the very young galleries “Triangle” and Osnova , and those whose history is calculated for decades - XL and “Rigina”. And also many others: galleries, artists, educational initiatives. Plus those who make temporary exhibitions in the center. They need an audience, they need to show art to someone. In the atmosphere of complete obscurantism, in which we are now, in the context of the torn of the majority of the population from modern culture, it is quite difficult to reach out to the audience, if you are not where all roads lead. With all the bends of his sometimes crazy policy, Vincuration became a popular point on the map of Moscow. People of different ages and social groups come there. But, apparently, the whole audience will soon wait for either the “Fair of Meda” or “Rossi of Russia”, as the recently one artist who moved out of the workshop at the Win -Western was in serious.

But after all, people should probably understand the management of the center, which will not allow them exclusively with honey and fur coats. If you have shown your loyalty, then show further, and the further, the more. But in practice, this means approximately the type of communion to the regime, which is described in the first part of the novel “The norm” of the great Russian writer Vladimir Sorokin: “Come on, come on, Kohl. Bold, the main thing. The first time I ate, in general, two sips of her - one, two. And all. And at that time we had such?! This is oil compared to ours. Let's!"
