EXHIBITIONS
“Fluxus: wait and see...” The first exhibition dedicated to the Fluxus movement in Russia. By and large, this movement remains little known in the world, which is not surprising: throughout the existence of the movement, Fluxus artists tried to avoid the usual artistic institutions, trying to destroy the very principles of art. The paradox, however, is that, despite the declared categorical demarcation from the territory of art, the best objects of the exhibition convince as accomplished virtuosic plastic adventures, moreover, immersed in a historical dialogue with the history of culture, from which they are in some kind of touching nursery dependencies. Multimedia Art Museum (Ostozhenka St., 16), until November 28.
"Arts and Crafts. Pre-Raphaelite Graphics". The Pre-Raphaelite movement formed in Great Britain at the end of the nineteenth century as a protest against the dominant academic painting, against conventions and traditions. They celebrated beauty and aestheticism, and this philosophy permeated all aspects of cultural life: from architecture to landscape design and publishing. Founded by the Pre-Raphaelite artists Burne-Johnson and Morris, the Kelmscott Press and the books they published had a huge influence on illustrators, designers and decorators not only in Britain, but throughout the world. It was they who elevated printing to the rank of art. The exhibition will feature 44 engravings from Burne-Johnson's The Story of Cupid and Psyche. In addition, the exhibition will feature a rare engraving by Aubrey Beardsley for the first English edition of Oscar Wilde's Salome. Inartis Gallery (4a Varvarka St.), until December 14.
