Производитель: "Московский музей современного искусства"

The exhibition devoted to Saint Petersburg`s Brotherhood of New Blockheads (1996-2002) and its accompanying publication represent an event of considerable significance not only for our Museum of Modern Art and for Moscow`s cultural landscape, but for any contemporary history of Russian art. This group of young artists - Sergey Spirikhin, Vladimir Kozin, Igor Panin, Vadim Flyagin and others  first emerged twenty years ago in Borey Gallery (which enjoyed cult status) and existed for just a few years around the turn of the centuries. Yet in that short time the group made its mark with its incredible energy and creative productivity: more than seventy actions and performances in all. Inspired in equal measure by the absurdist poetics of the Oberiu and the chaotic romantic rhythm of the 1990s, they proposed a model of artistic behaviour that was capable of reflecting with incredible accuracy the turbulent spirit of a specific place and a specific time, a behaviour defined by characteristic energy and charming clumsiness, by an approach that cannot be translated into the language of global art.
