The exhibition project by
German artist and designer Karsten Vinkels that is devoted to the secrecy of the
so-called Russian soul brings together the paintings from the Russian Museum
collection together with the works by contemporary sculptors from Moscow and
St. Petersburg, and documental materials. Karsten Vinkels creates the uncommon
atmosphere that is consonant to the nature of the Russians' soul. Here the sound and light effects are used. That is why here
are on show also the video-stories that are the documental certificates of
people whose uneasy fates had been interlaced forever with Russia and Germany.
The first hall of exhibition
imitates the corridor of soviet communal flat where in common space the idyllic
landscapes, social subjects of contemporary painting and objects of everyday
life in communal flats are mixed. In other halls the theme of border between
masculine and female reveals itself through the neighborhood of works of art
and documental materials. The last section of exhibition may be regarded as the
original installation that is devoted to the Winter Forest theme and looks as romantic place where children, old
men, animal and different fanciful objects are living together. The most
significant in exposition is not presented in evident form but hidden in
special secrecies that demand from viewer the active reclamation of exhibition
space.
