Exhibition Subjective Visions: the Russian Outlook
on the Contemporary Art
Apogevmatini, 19.08.2009
After the Viennese Kunsthistorisches Museum and the 53rd
Venice Biennale, exhibition Subjective
Visions with works from the collection of the Stella Art Foundation visits
our country.
From September 19 through November 1, more than 45 works by Nikita
Alexeyev, Yuri Avvakumov, Vagrich Bakhchanian, Olga Chernysheva, Michael
Craig-Martin and many other world-known visual artists will be on view at the
National Bank's Educational Foundation/Thessaloniki Cultural Center in the
context of the program of the Second Contemporary Art Biennale of the Greek
co-capital.
"A collection accumulates fragments of creative time, creating
documentations of the past for the future, while curating plays with the poetic
quality of both the ephemeral and the accidental, and thus brings the
collection to life in the present, inducing the spectator-accomplice,"
writes Thalea Stefanidou, the exhibition curator.
Stella Art Foundation was established in November 2004 at the initiative
of Stella Kesaeva, its main purposes include supporting cultural exchanges,
promoting the work of Russian artists and opening a contemporary art museum in
Moscow within the next 10 years.
The exhibition was organized in the context of the Moscow-Thessaloniki-2009 program, which is also expected to feature
other cultural events.
