ART MOSCOW 2011 is renewed annually, not only presenting to the public new works, names and galleries, but also introducing vital changes, which deeply affect the development of the project.
This year the number of experts in the Expert Council enlarged by entering foreign professionals from Great Britain (Rachael Barrett) and Germany (Anne Maier). The structure of exposition area was also altered. Following the international experience, ART MOSCOW 2011offered the system of equal exposition area. Galleries are offered to stand out for the quality of their expositions but not for their size.
During the 2011 ART MOSCOW 2011 representations appeared in international activities at key sites of the world art scene in Berlin, Cologne, London, Madrid and Basel. The result of foreign activity is the increased number of foreign participants (10 new galleries this year) and the expanding pool of foreign participants in mass-media (18 new partners).
This year over 40 national and international galleries introduce their expositions at 15 ART MOSCOW 2011 Fair.
Traditionally the Fair hosts Moscow galleries АIDAN, М&Y GUELMAN, XL gallery and other famous Russian galleries.
KROKIN GALLERY will present the momentous works of Konstantin Batynkov, Alexander Dzhikiya and Vladimir Semenskiy. Also there will be presented the works of OPEN GROUP, a Moscow group of artists and designers, who successfully manifested themselves at previous ART MOSCOW. This project, named "I Like It", consists of a series of paintings and offers an interactive social experiment, engaging audience in appraisal of particular art works.
TRIUMPH gallery presents a part of new project «Allegoria Sacra» by AES+F art-group. This project is a third part of a trilogy about contemporary world (Hades – Eden – Purgatory), following "The Last Insurrection" and "Feast of Trimalсhio", featured at Venice Biennale in 2007-2009.
FINE ART gallery will present the paintings of Dmitriy Shorin and Irina Drozd. Photo works of Alexey Titarenko, Irina Polin, Henry Lutwiler and Linn Davis and the project of art-group «Fourth Height + Urs Bigler» are exhibited at ART MOSCOW by POBEDA gallery. Resumed its participation RUARTS gallery, presenting "Self-portraits" of Kimiko Ioshida, series of paintings "Live Iron" of Semion Agroskin and "Team" of Vita Bouivid, project «The Impossible Love» of Cornelli Tolensa and photos of Sergey Borisov and Yefrosina Lavroukhina.
Besides, three Russian galleries made at ART MOSCOW their début: Green Art (Perm), Kultproject (Moscow) and Gallery 21(Moscow). In particular, Green Art will present the paintings of Rinat Voligamsi, known, first of all, for his provocative "Non-official Album", apocryphal photo biography of Lenin. Gallery KultProject included in the exposition the works of Igor Shelkovsky (sculptures) and Vladislav Nasedkin (paintings). Recently founded GALLERY 21 has passed the Expert Council due to active work with young Russian artists and cogent program, thus becoming an exception, as according to ART MOSCOW rules, only galleries with three-year work-experience are admitted to participation in the Fair.
Many foreign galleries take part in ART MOSCOW for the first time. Gallery Gagliardi Art System (Torino) presents at the Fair the ironic sculptures of Italian artists Fabio Viale.
