Exhibition of Valentina Sumina “While the sun is shining” (0+)

January 14, 2022

“And God saw that it was good… And blessed”
Old Testament, Genesis, Ch.1

January 27 at 17.00 in the Voronezh Regional Art Museum. I.N. Kramskoy, the opening of the exhibition “While the Sun Shines” will take place.

The exhibition dedicated to the anniversary of the Voronezh artist Valentina Sumina will present works of graphics, sculpture, ceramics and painting. The exhibition is interesting not only for the coverage of numerous artistic techniques subject to the artist, but also for a philosophical look at the history of the Voronezh region for more than half a century of creativity.

The artist, who was born into a large peasant family in the Vorobyevsky district of the Voronezh region and began her career with the sculptural department of the Saratov Art School, submitted to both graphics and painting. And even poetry. Sumina’s pottery is a talented song to her native land, in which meadow grasses, ancient faces, and the future of the earth are her children.

The exhibition presents works that reveal the main themes of the artist’s work: love for the motherland, Russian history, admiration for the heroic countrymen, whose exploits still set a high tuning fork for descendants.

For thousands of years the forces of good and evil have been fighting for the soul of man, and through the eyes of an artist-philosopher we see how the divine law flourishes, where love triumphs, and people have not lost their biblical scale. Faith in the divine spark in every person, love for everything that exists – all this is vividly represented in the works of the outstanding Voronezh artist.

As part of the opening, musical works by Voronezh composers based on verses by Valentina Sumina will be presented. Everyone will be able to communicate with the artist and receive a booklet with artwork. The exhibition will be held with the support of NELZHA.RU

There will be presented 8 graphic illustrations for the book of the writer N.A. Zadonsky’s Life of Muravyov, executed by the Voronezh artist Alexander Valentinovich Starilov in 1987.

Artist, designer, illustrator, teacher, architect, graduate of the Faculty of Industrial and Civil Engineering of VISI, in the mid-seventies of the 20th century, Alexander Starilov worked as the chief architect of the South Eastern Railway, later – as the chief architect of the VGSPI projects.

For the Ministry of Communications of the USSR, he made several series of postage stamps, postcards, envelopes. He designed and illustrated more than one and a half hundred books for various publishing houses, including the prestigious Moscow “Book”.

The graphics of Alexander Starilov amaze with their volume, the complexity of the composition, the elaboration of each character. Each piece tells its own story. The artist’s works speak for themselves, show the author as a person of extraordinary imagination. Thanks to his illustrations, readers can get a complete picture of a particular character. Somewhere Alexander Valentinovich uses grotesque, somewhere allegory. He formed his concept in graphics, and this personality is visible in all of his works. The author developed a high plastic culture, found that artistic balance that all creative people strive for.

Graduates of Starilov’s workshop today adequately represent graphic and design art in Russia and abroad.

Exhibition “Far Garden” (0+)

January 10, 2022

January 20, 2022 at 4 p.m. in the Voronezh Regional Art Museum. I.N. Kramskoy, the opening of the exhibition project “Far Garden” will take place.

This is a large-scale art project about the local mythology of a place, about the relationship of a person with space, time and memory.
It combines art and research, a multi-focus view of the topic.

Over the past summer, a group of artists, photographers, performers, playwrights and actors have been exploring the oldest summer cottage settlement in Chernozemye – Dalnie Sady. They collected stories and photographs, conducted field expeditions, held discussions, and created works. The result of this study was first presented to the viewer in August 2021. During the whole day, the guests participated in a series of performances, listened to documentary stories of the inhabitants of this village. The central event of the project was an exhibition in promenade and site-specific formats: the works of the artists were inscribed in the space of the real country landscape – on the streets of Dalnye Sadov, in the field and on the territory of the garden plot and the country house.

The winter exhibition will be the final point of the project: the exposition will be expanded with documentary materials, installations and works, and will represent a figurative model of an imaginary summer cottage village, placed in a museum space. This will be an exhibition-memory: about summer in winter, about summer cottages in the museum, about the past and the present, about the ordinary and intimate.

Dacha is a small model of society. An intermediate environment between the city and nature, an island of freedom at any time – whether in the historical past of a country or in the modern context of a global epidemic.
The dacha is a witness to the change of generations, a repository of family stories from the past. By preserving them, we better understand our ancestors and build a stronger foundation for the present and the future.
The dacha is a symbol of the lost Paradise, which we strive to return by replacing the Creator. Our little universe, our personal Garden of Eden.
A dacha is a litmus that shows our attitude to the personal and the public, our openness or limitedness, our aesthetic taste, creative impulse, and sometimes, and civic position.

The study of the polyphony of contexts that the phenomenon of summer cottages keeps in itself is aimed at the eternal search for one’s place and one’s happiness in a rapidly changing world.

More than 40 people are taking part in the project. These are artists, photographers, playwrights, actors and performers from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Cheboksary, Lipetsk, Barcelona. Voronezh authors include Sergei Gorshkov, Valery Mishunin, Evgenia Nozhkina, Evgeny Chepurin, Yegor Astapchenko, Daria Dubrovskaya, Christina Ramli, Viktor Dyuzhev, Olga Gnezdilova, Igor Shcherbakov, Sergei Brudanin and others. The curator of the project is Marina Demchenko, an artist from Voronezh.

After the end of the exhibition, many works will be available for purchase.

In addition to the exhibition, the program of the project includes a parallel public program: lectures on the phenomenon of summer cottages and summer cottages in Russian literature, screenings of animation and feature films, performance, verbatim, creative meetings with artists and curatorial excursions.

The cost of visiting the exhibition is 100 rubles for all categories of citizens.
You can also buy a ticket using the Pushkin Card (online only). TO BUY A TICKET.

Please note that the entrance to the opening of the exhibition from 16.00 to 17.00 will be free.
