The world exhibition event in the field of contemporary art, Cosmoscow, initially launched at Krasny Oktyabr in 2010 and subsequently held at Manezh and Gostiny Dvor, now invites all interested to the Forum pavilion within Expocentre in Moscow-City. The event will be held from September 29 to October 1.
Cosmoscow, confirming Moscow's role as a key player in the global art market, will focus on the creativity of Russia's regions in 2023. It is worth noting that interest in regional art has been growing for years, recalling the grand festivals in Vyksa. This year, the Vyksa multimedia archive will be presented, where viewers will be able to immerse themselves in a variety of projects, including Erik Bulatov's project in Vyksa and various performances.
The art fair brings together 80 galleries presenting diverse contemporary art. The Vyksateka section occupies a place next to the lecture hall, where the discussion program is organized by Viktor Misiano, united under the slogan "Preservation Mode", which is quite in line with the spirit of the current Cosmoscow event.
Among the famous participants are the PERMM Museum of Contemporary Art and the private museum ZAMAN from Izhevsk. At the fair, PERMM will present a project by Vasily Kononov-Gredin, which transforms a Gelek car into a work of art, symbolizing the transformation of the auto center into a museum.
ZAMAN, being a relatively new institution, attracts attention with its projects implemented in various regions of Russia.
Artem Filatov from Nizhny Novgorod was recognized as "Artist of the Year" 2023 and created a graphic project for the fair using the familiar "green paint" as an artistic tool.
Among other projects, it is worth highlighting the presentation of private collections under the curatorship of Alexey Maslyaev, as well as the Limonov Art Foundation project. This year is also marked by the sound of musical compositions at the Sound Up festival, where an interesting performance awaits fans of folk instruments.
In addition to art, the fair pays attention to collaborations with brands and, of course, trade in works. Cosmoscow brings together 80 galleries representing art from established names to newcomers. If you are not ready to spend large sums, you can pay attention to more affordable works or haggle.
In conclusion, the fair is an ideal place for those who appreciate art and are looking for new ideas and inspiration.
For art lovers with diverse interests and budgets, Cosmoscow is not just a fair, but a cultural event where everyone will find something for themselves. From exclusive exhibits to accessible and interesting projects for a wide audience.
In addition to the galleries and artworks on display, the event also highlights the importance of art interacting with various aspects of social life. Artists and brands collaborate to create unique objects and projects that reflect current trends and cultural characteristics.
Visitors to the fair can not only purchase works of art, but also participate in discussions, master classes and lectures, expanding their horizons and immersing themselves in current topics of contemporary art. In addition, at the event you can always get advice from experts if you are new to the world of art or looking for advice on buying.
For young authors and talented artists, Cosmoscow is a platform to showcase their work to a wide audience, as well as an opportunity to gain recognition and support from curators, gallery owners and experienced collectors.
In general, Cosmoscow is not just a fair, it is a meeting place for art professionals, enthusiasts and newcomers, where they exchange experience, knowledge and inspiration. This is an event that unites and stimulates the development of contemporary art in Russia and beyond.
