not so often in our busy lives manage to find time to get acquainted with the painting. On September 9 Nikitosom us with an opportunity for a few hours to join the modern art and a little chat with some of its creators. We visited at the opening of "real art", which ran from September 9 to October 11 in room « Project Factory «, where a week earlier were shooting the video for the song "Do not like everything." We shot a short film about the event and posed some questions to some of its participants.

Press Release Exhibition :
We decided on something ridiculous, incomprehensible, strange. We want to talk with the audience. We want to speak to each audience, and it is better to speak with the man.
whoever he was.
talk to one person, it means to speak with all people. If we are dealing with art, then sooner or later realize - it has obvious value for all. So it was with Goya, Courbet, Repin, Van Gogh, Deineko, Chaplin, Eisenstein, Visconti.
So it is with lusianite Freud, Harry heal, Marlene Dumas.
to speak to a man means to speak in clear, precise and open language that should be developed as a result of large and unselfish efforts. This language can be born in the depths of the contemporary art of writing, but he must overcome and destroy it.
Modern Art is dead, but art can not die!
Arts, of which we speak, the language of which we have dreams, is realism -
misunderstood, slandered, and devalued. This is a precious coin, which wanted to turn in a fake counterfeiters totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century.
But today, we want to cleanse it of all historical dirt, because it is the only currency that can be paid for the Truth. Being a realist means to engage in the production of truth, then go back to Universal.
modern world and the art that dares to call itself a modern hostility to the truth. Symptom of the hatred the substitution of names. As pointed out by Alain Badiou, instead of "Art" we see "culture." "Technique" crosses "science." The concept of "governance", replaces the "politics" and "sexuality" destroys "Love."
you say, words do not matter. Have. Adam, who was first a realist, he knew the names of all the animals and phenomena, because he had access to universal experience.
This exhibition is not a discussion, experiment, or search.
We are not looking, as the Picasso, we find.
We will say that the world was different, the reality is unattainable, but the truth is impossible?
Yes, but we want to forever remain faithful to the slogan of sixty-eight -
«Demand the impossible - be realistic!»
Impossible today - it's the truth.
Place our performance was not chosen by chance. The factory project, one of the few, perhaps the only place in Moscow, where production and cultural practices organically coexist in the same area where the artist is able to observe work of the proletarians, and working to see the work of the artist. Here you can even conceive of labor, not as a commodity production, but "the goal of life and form" (Brodsky).
And although we clearly understand that our efforts are doomed, we are ready to repeat after the great Christian ascetics:
«We were not instructed to win, we were requested to testify to the Truth."
Bogdan Mamonov
