"Caprichos". Goya and Dali
The main building of the Pushkin Museum im. A.S. Pushkin
From January 24 to March 12

An exhibition of engravings will open the year Francisco Goya And Salvador Dali, on which there are 41 etchings artist XIX century is adjacent to 41 engravings created 180 years later. Hypocrisy, injustice, laziness, sleeping human consciousness, fear - a gallery of vices dressed in fantastic images by Spanish geniuses, differs little from today. But the museum warns against hasty conclusions: Dali himself, on one of the etchings of the exposition, depicted his predecessor in the form of a mysterious sphinx lying against the backdrop of the desert. An impressive lecture program is devoted to interpretations of works in the exposition. But besides it, each pair of “caprichos” is preceded by a literary commentary by Goya himself, explaining, along with satirical overtones, the mystical origins of his characters. The etchings arranged in pairs draw in an additional game: sometimes Salvador Dali simply follows his predecessor without intruding into the image, but often takes the plots to another plane, introducing additional characters and new details.

Maurizio Cattelan exhibition
Multimedia Art Museum
From October 30 to December 17

The exhibition of the brawler has been long awaited in Russia since the artist, breaking the word that he was leaving art forever, exhibited his works at the Paris Mint last year.

But you can definitely count on the famous stuffed animals with their heads stuck in the wall, and provocative wax sculptures. Who knows, maybe the Italian will create a piece specifically for the Russian exhibition.

In the past year, Moscow museums devoted several projects to the personality of an eccentric director, artist and teacher.

Little is known about what exactly will be shown at the exhibition in St. Petersburg. On the one hand, this may be another project under the sign Great Revolution with a demonstration of the film "October" and a study of the director's influence on revolutionary Soviet cinema. On the other hand, the project can reveal Eisenstein with his graphics, visual and theatrical solutions as an innovator, “revolutionizing” art as such. “If it weren’t for the revolution, I would never have ‘split’ the traditions, only the revolutionary whirlwind gave me the main thing - the freedom of self-determination,” he wrote in his autobiography.

Lyubimov and time. 1917–2017 100 years of the history of the country and man” is a project comparable in scale to the size of its hero. His task is to tell as much about the director as possible, because throwing out even one chapter of his biography would be an omission. The space of the Museum of Moscow comes to life, allowing you to get lost in its nooks and crannies, as in theatrical backstage corridors, and leads you forward to new parts of the exposition. Fragments of performances thundering throughout the city and their posters, recordings of rehearsals, elements of scenery and, of course, the personal archives of the actor and director, who left a mark in the history of the country, equal in length to almost a century.

Creating his canvases with the help of explosive substances, exploring and experimenting, the artist reflects on a person and the world, surrounding everyone with a whole heap of social issues and problems. In the Pushkin Museum it will be possible to understand the techniques and methods that Guoqiang uses, and at the same time see an installation called "Autumn", created specifically for Moscow. The connection of a person with roots and history is personified by baby carriages and cribs, through which Russian birch trees are striving upwards.

Misha Most's exhibition "Evolution 2.1" became the next chapter of the Winzavod anniversary cycle "Farewell to Eternal Youth".

7. 7th Moscow International Biennale of Contemporary Art

New Tretyakov Gallery

September 19 - January 18

The main project of the Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art is called "Cloudy Forests" and is equated with a way to express attitude both to life - if we talk about the whole - and to the present day, if we mention particulars. Fine known to the world Art curator Yuko Hasegawa remembers both the crises and the changed conditions of existence, connected, for example, with the fact that we now store our emotions, memories and plans in the "clouds". Likewise, the forest, transformed from an ordinary green forest into a transcendent forest, is an attempt to understand man-made changes. Among the 52 authors selected by Hasegawa to participate in the main project from 25 countries, there are the names of Matthew Barney, Olafur Eliasson and Björk - provocateurs and true artists who are not going to lose sight of the metamorphosis taking place with the world.

The five-part exposition at the Garage Museum is Takashi Murakami's first solo exhibition in Russia. The world-famous Japanese reflects through his works on national culture, as well as the multiple connections between "here" and "there", East and West, inventing images in which there is no division into "high" and "low", intended for the elite or accessible to the masses. From the first chapter explaining the artist's painting techniques, the exhibition leads to important milestones in his career. For example, to the project of the mid-2000s "Baby", in which Murakami analyzed the impact of historical events- the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki - on the cultural consciousness of his nation. The heroes of his works will even break out of the exhibition spaces of the Garage and will meet you either on the stairs, or in a cafe, or in the museum's bookstore.

9. “Alexander Labas. October"

Institute of Russian Realistic Art

October 1 - December 17

"Lenin's Arrival in Petrograd", A. A. Labas, 1930. State Tretyakov Gallery.

Alexander Labas met the October Revolution as a 17-year-old youth and, as he later admitted, sought to feel everything that was happening, to constantly be on the street and observe. With the help of his art, he always wanted to tell about the city and life in it, and he could not get around the theme of the revolution. Having conceived the cycle "October" in the late 1920s, Labas continued to work on it for many years, inventing new plots and returning in memory to the events of those days when his life in art was just beginning.

The canvases of Gustav Klimt have long become a symbol of Vienna, from which every tourist seeks to take away, if not a reproduction of his Kiss, then at least an umbrella, a magnet or a coffee set. Those who bypass the tourist trails usually linger just at the canvases of Schiele, choosing postcards and notebooks with once scandalous expressionist subjects as a keepsake. In other words, both artists need no introduction, just like the Albertina Museum in Vienna, from whose collection the graphic works of the Austrian avant-garde artists will come to Moscow. They, unlike painting, are not so well known to a wide range of viewers, so their exhibition Pushkin Museum recalls how expressive the drawings of Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele can be.

11. “El Lissitzky. El Lissitzky"

New Tretyakov Gallery, Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center

Without overloading the name of the exhibition with additional meanings and naming it simply by the name of their hero, the Tretyakov Gallery and the Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center are preparing a retrospective of the Soviet avant-garde artist that is impressive in scale and significance. creative way El Lissitzky includes classes in painting, graphics, photography, and architecture. The inventor of prouns - "Projects for the approval of the new", he began to put them into practice.

The Tretyakov Gallery has previously addressed the theme of the city: “Moscow in Russian and Soviet Painting” (1980), “Moscow and Muscovites” (1997), “Catherine the Great and Moscow” (1997), “Peter the Great and Moscow” (1998), "Elizaveta Petrovna and Moscow" (2010). The image of the city invariably attracts and inspires artists. Modern curators find it interesting to introduce him to a new generation of Muscovites. This year's exhibitions are distinguished by the fact that they are composed almost entirely on the basis of works from the collection of the Tretyakov Gallery.

In the exposition of the exhibition "Moscow Through the Ages", considerable attention is paid to the formation of the iconography of the city - from the images of pre-fire Moscow in the iconography of the 17th century and the first landscape views of the capital in the works of F. Alekseev to the search for the "formula of Moscow" by artists of the early 20th century and the display of the image of the city in new forms and materials by modern masters. The exhibition consists of five thematic sections: "Moscow - the third Rome", "Moscow Kremlin - the heart of the city", "Conversations about old Moscow", "Red Square. “Formula of Moscow” and “XX century. City Voices. Visitors are waiting for a meeting as well famous works Simon Ushakov, V. Surikov, B. Kustodiev, A. Lentulov, V. Polenov, and with paintings by A. Vasnetsov, V. Perov, V. Makovsky, I. Nikolaev, A. Deineka, A. Labas, little known to the general public , K. Yuon, E. Vakhtangov, V. Brainin, T. Nazarenko, N. Nesterova and others.

Many paintings have not been exhibited before, for example, “Pushkin Square” by M. Gurevich, painted in 1937, when the monument to A.S. Pushkin was located not where we are used to seeing him, but on the opposite side of the street opposite the later demolished Strastnoy Monastery. For the first time, the paintings “Moscow of the 1930s” (1932) by V. Midler, “Kuznetsky Bridge” (1958) by O. Vasiliev, “Kropotkinskaya Street” (1948) by V. Apfelbaum, “Yauza Gates” (1979) by I. Sorokin will be shown for the first time and others. These artists are usually represented in the exposition and at exhibitions by more famous works - the listed works are rarely exhibited in the Tretyakov Gallery and almost never go to traveling exhibitions. Within the framework of this project, finally, it became possible to show these things that are inaccessible to the public.

Some of the paintings were restored specifically for this project. So, after serious work to remove dirt and yellowed varnish, for the first time leaves the fund and is shown to the public "The Cab Yard in Zamoskvorechye" (1887–1892) by S. Svetoslavsky. A. Lentulov's painting "Moscow" (1913), made in mixed media, can be seen in the permanent exhibition of the New Tretyakov Gallery, but it also underwent complex restoration work, after which it noticeably changed.

One of the features of the exhibition is the opportunity to hear the "voices of the city": the Institute of Sound Design, which has the most extensive archive of sounds in Russia, was involved in the work on the exposition. Together with experts in various fields, audio installations were created that "sound" the main works of the exhibition and allow you to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Moscow from different eras. For example, to sound “The Moscow Yard” (1878), ornithologists helped to pick up the voices of birds that lived in 1878 in the area of the Arbat alleys – it is this part of the city that is depicted in the painting by V. Polenov. This is what Spasopeskovsky Lane looked like about 150 years ago. In total, eight works were voiced, including: “Cathedral Square in the Moscow Kremlin” (beginning of the 19th century) by F. Alekseev, “Dovecote” (1874) by V. Perov, “Moscow Tavern” (1916) by B. Kustodiev, “New Moscow” (1937) Yu. Pimenova, "Metro" (1935) A. Labas, "Builders" (1959-1960) A. Deineka, "Moscow Evening" (1978) T. Nazarenko.

The aroma of the past will help you immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Moscow in the 20th century. During the exhibition, the souvenir shop will sell the legendary perfume "Red Moscow".

The exhibition project goes beyond the walls of the museum and continues with special city tours, the route of which was developed by the Excursion Bureau No. 1 based on the works presented in the exhibition.

If the project “Moscow Through the Ages” is a kind of mosaic of picturesque images of the city, then the exhibition “City and People. Moscow in the Graphics of the 20th Century” (October 11, 2017 – January 14, 2018, New Tretyakov Gallery) reflects the personal approach of the artists, shows how they saw the capital, which experienced the dramatic events of 1917 and 1941, as well as the euphoria of the thaw period.

The exhibition “Preserved shrines of the departed Moscow…” (September 8, 2017 – January 21, 2018, Corps of Engineers) is unique. For the first time, works of arts and crafts from the fund of precious metals and precious stones of the Tretyakov Gallery, one of the museum's most closed to the general public, exhibits. The chamber exposition brings together 30 works of church art of the 16th-19th centuries from 17 destroyed Moscow churches.
