| Thirty Steps to the Sea
Victoria and Vlad Yurashko
From February 3, 2010. Guelman Projects on Malaya Polyanka 7/7-5
The name of the project describes the device employed by the artists in their quest for an adequate visual incarnation of the concept of the "sea." The sea becomes the symbol of a universum as such – or of eternal nature which, in the words of Boris Pasternak, "brings to naught" the metrics of the life and cognitive efforts of the little man. / more... |

Blue Noses (V. Mizin, A. Shaburov)
December 22, 2009 - January 21, 2010
The preachers of contemporary art try to influence the public's taste into appreceating Andy Warhol's art as well as his imitators'. Not a bit decieived, V. Mizin and A.

| Apocalypse
Georgy Ostretsov
Opening 26 November, 2009

Svetlana Shuvayevà
October 16 - November 15, 2009
An interest in self-manifesting or "readymade" painting is possibly the best description of the main vector of Shuvayeva's current aspirations. This concept lies at the heart of her Assembly Tapes – a series specially created for exhibition at Guelman Projects. Svetlana now creates transparent mesh structures from the barrier tape used in construction work or urban regeneration programmes. / more... |
| Night Before the Attack
Alexander Brodsky
27.09 – 25.10.2009
The hall is plunged into pitch darkness. The only sources of light are the shining objects placed inside a number of structures. Bound with polyethylene, these constructions recall hotbeds – a traditional feature of Russian dachas and vegetable allotments. The title of the installation, however, is intended to redirect the flow of visual associations in another direction. What we see is a military camp – a cluster of artefacts evoking a vague disquiet. / more... |
