For visitors the exhibition will be open from 17.05.2015 – 12.07.2015.
It is generally accepted to treat painting as an image on the plane. But even the traditional oil painting on canvas can always be perceived as three-dimensional object – not only because of the thickness of the sub-frame and bend edges of the canvas, but also because of the technical features of the application of the paint layer. Namely artists better than other viewers notice the 3d- properties of any painted surface – and there is nothing strange in the fact that some of them are trying to "break away" from the plane to overcome it or even ignore. Sometimes these experiments give birth to very far away and out of the plane, and of the painting, and even of the material itself.
The organizers of this exhibition, leaving behind it frames virtual, multimedia, performative and others "harass" undertake to provide the public a number of examples of a less radical "liberation from the plane of the picture." One of the most important criteria in the selection of authors was their belonging to the picturesque of graphics workshop – are not repealed to this day. Simply put, for each of them to work with paints, brushes, canvases – it is the acquired profession and the main occupation. But the "side effect" was the creation of the very works that can be seen in the exhibition.
They can hardly be classified as a sculpture in its traditional sense. Rather, here are samples of three-dimensional forms – without taking into account the classification of art. The prerequisites for their appearance may be different from the manufacture of toys for their children or work with plastically interesting found objects to creation of three-dimensional elements combined works and independent easel form. In any case, the "noble" materials such as bronze and marble at these authors are not in vogue. Ordinary they use wood, iron, cardboard, papier – mache, concrete blocks – that is cheap and available materials, which are always on hand or easily extracted. Sometimes the volume elements of work are combined with the color plane, drawing on the surface, or canvas paintings are combined into three-dimensional structures. Most often it is a kind of designers or transformers, because for them is not supposed a permanent place of exposure , in contrast to the large-scale works of sculptors, implying a specific destination. Most of the time these works pass in the shelves, waiting for rare occasion to appear before the public.
