The capital will be another art space, “New Wing” Gogol House on Nikita Boulevard opens exhibition # Avtorzhzhet – fake writer’s museum, which turned out to be more alive than this.
At the entrance projected on the wall Gogol flirtatious winks. In the five-room apartment “New Wing” is not a door and closet. Heard the tramp of which could be accompanied by the statement “Theatregoers’ ringing phone. In the tube need to call Nikolai.
From the exhibition, entitled hashtag, referring back to the language of “padonkaf” of the LJ, expect a ritual burning of the literary heritage and tales of buried alive classics. Literary Museums (in between conferences and readings to their own) contact with the audience mainly using myths and cliches.
«Through the wardrobe we get to the apartment and spying for the author – says curator Alexei Tregubov. – As planned, we do not know who he is, though winking at the entrance portrait hints rather transparent ».
This year’s” Gogol House “has grown and, in addition to the estate, which connected the museum and library, occupied the whole territory estates – got public garden, free Wi-Fi and Bicycle parking. A new exhibit space once served as a coach house.
Now the “new wing” was transformed into an art space, which is said to curators, will not be tied to a leash or Gogol nor books. The next exhibition will be built on the parallels, for example, architecture and poetry, painting and music.
Already marketplace vying for a spot somewhere away from specializing in media art “Elektromuzeem».
But the exhibition # Avtorzhzhet link between genius and destroy the place in no hurry. “We presented Gogol living authors – bracketing, in the present” – says Tregubov.
The walls are inscribed with the hallway (sometimes there are messages backwards – they should be read in a mirror), the phone rattles, not appeased. “In the hallway constantly ringing phone – says Anna Rumyantsev, another curator of the new art space, – name of Nikolai, reminded that he had not paid traffic police fines, or ask to call back Zhukovsky. People talk, write messages on the wall for the author, and the phone book, as a result, turns into a carpet of quotations ».
In the living room on the TV overdubbed Ekaterina Andreeva icily read a quote from a letter to literary criticism Shevyryov superimposed on News Release:
«Before Christian shines eternally distance, and seen the eternal feats. He is a young man hungers vital battle; it have something to fight … ».
So Gogol spoke about the Ukrainian crisis. Following are the program “Let’s get married”, “Irony of Fate” and advertising family hatchback – also voiced Gogol’s texts, which surprisingly okay lie on top of airtime.
«Gogol all foresaw – explains Rumyantsev – all the things that he wrote in the nineteenth century can be safely broadcast on TV today ».
Sound hitting the plate (and teeth) forks, shadow Gogol, sticking on the wall, long table, as in the village at the wedding. In the dining room of plastic apples and pears scattered letters. They obviously symbolize the creative process, which is the food that festive musty life – all uneasy. “With each room viewer more and more involved in interactive: watching TV, you can just watch, and here for you communicate with the author, hear his guests,” – says Tregubov.
The contact, however, is not so much with the author as with his works. The idea is that such an exhibition is to be read as metatekst:
here from Gogol pulled scraps of phrases, the main characters, the memoirs of contemporaries, and transferred them to a bouncy media format – fluorescent dye labels, television , shaped as letters, scattered among the plastic dishes on the table.
However, the text in the “New Wing” treated as arbitrary, that at some point you stop noticing it.
Next , in the bathroom, Gogol sings the song “You call” on his own poems from burned in his youth poem “Hans Kyuhelgarten.” Interior dark cabinet limited disguised typewriter printer. Anyone who looks through the peephole at the man sitting in the courtyard of the author, or rather on the monument by architect Andreyev, Gogol, like a real fortune teller, gives a prophecy.
The format all of this, of course, is cut down with an ax literary Disneyland – museum organized on the principle of a petting zoo.
It was found that with the shadow of Gogol can be made self.
It turns out that the writer’s home may not be a warehouse who imagine themselves to the abode of the Muses. And the sense of uncompromising seriousness of all that is happening, as at a family dinner, or in the operating room, is also optional.
In this case, multimedia Tales, which should stir amorphous audience, still remain rather dubious way to update the website and its text.
However, in the case of the first draft of the “New Wing” another interesting nuance:
fake museum of the writer, how, in fact, the exhibition turned out alive fresh and present.
The difference is this show the need for the viewer – a rare feature for almost rarity increasingly becoming isolated on itself art spaces. Is taken, it may, from the theatrical experience of the exhibition’s curators Alex Tregubov – the chief artist of the “School of Modern Play”, Anna worked as a set designer Rumyantsev theater Mayakovsky. They just visualized and translated into extremely accessible language – and dispensed with portraits of artists, book dust and fake fire in the fireplace, typical of traditional museums writers that the functions are more like shrines.
