An excavator is approaching Mitkov

Having aimed at the bucket on a residential building, an excavator rumbled in the courtyard, and on the staircase leading to the Mitki I met a huge junk hammer ... This Saturday, in the cultural center of Mitka-Vkhutemas, in the very center of St. Petersburg, on Pravda Street, the opening of the next exhibition season took place. The “Open Letter” project was presented in the walls of the attic: a collection of 16 cards - reproductions of the works of modern St. Petersburg photographers. Not only the front, but also the flip side of the postcards was proposed to the public. And it is no coincidence: after all, the exposition that occupied the whole wall was full of words of support addressed to artists. "Mitka does not want to win anyone, but the victory will be behind us!"

For more than a year now, the Mitkovskaya attic has been at the siege. Ten years ago, she was provided by the art movement by the mayor of the city Anatoly Sobchak. However, times are changing, real estate prices are growing steadily. Last year, two “orphanages” were discovered in the territory of apartment 20. Soon, the indicated orphan successfully resell their living space, and the new owners demanded the evictions of artists. The next court session should be held in a week.

The venerable audience came to the opening a little. “The weather is warm, everything is in the dachas ...” Dmitry Shagin’s leader spread his hands. “But it may not have been introduced another time ...”

The main Mityk looked tired, and after a brief speech, he quickly disappeared in his closet. And the musicians played in the hall. Like a funeral.
