Young art against academism
Moscow Modern Art Museum opens Workshop-2011
The Moscow Modern Art Museum is once again showing the results of its school’s fight against conformism. The next exhibition of young art from the museum’s Free Workshops is set to reveal the progress.
The display titled Workshop-2011 at Yermolaevsky Lane in Moscow spanned four floors and features around 100 works that were carefully selected by the curators of the school over the past several months. Students, often very young, come here to uncover their potential and drop the chains of academism.
Free Workshops, a school of art at the Moscow Modern Art Museum has been around for over ten years now, and ever since has been presenting the work of its students to public. This year the main theme, “Today / Tomorrow”, quite trivial and yet timely is revealed in all genres of actual art from objects, installations and video art, to graphic art, photography and painting.
