"Creche" exhibition: young artists and Christmas
17 December 2010 — 30 January 2011
Christmas and New Year celebrations are the weird bright mix of traditions and images
Christmas and New Year celebrations are the weird bright mix of traditions and images. What will happen if young Russian artists, brought up with a doll cartoon about Snowy Monster (Chudishe-Snezhishe) instead of “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens, were suggested to comprehend the subject of Christmas spirit? What will be closer for them: dark atmosphere of a Nutcracker’s phantasmagoria or Dickens sentimentality? Or maybe their works will be like a lad, brighten up with a Christmas feasting with smutted face and wearing his fur coat splayed fur out? Discover the answers for these and more questions on the "Creche" exhibition.
