Works of Russian frontier avant-garde artists will appear in the capital’s Domodedovo airport without leaving the museum walls. Instead they will be replaced with 3D-reproductions projected on eight big screens.
Russia’s Tretyakov gallery, in a rush for technological updates, is launching the project “Art. The New Look.” Three exhibitions revealing Russian avant-garde art of the 20th century have been organized, together with two companies which specialize in 3D and interactive technologies; each one will feature 24 works of art.
The 3D-reproductions will give a chance to look at the pictures from behind or from above, and will not be static – organizers wish to recreate each brush stroke coming one after another to show the whole process of the masterpieces’ creation in front of the spectators’ eyes, so that they can better understand the techniques of the artist and his/her logic.
The first exhibition will open on September 7, and will feature “the White oval” by Vasily Kandinsky and “the Black square” by Kazimir Malevich, and also works of Marc Chagall, Aleksandr Rodchenko and other remarkable artists of the time.
The next exhibition will be dedicated to Mikhail Larionov and Natalia Goncharova, considered among the key figures of the Russian avant-garde. The last exhibition, “Sergey Diaghilev’s Art World,” will be dated for a more traditional exposition at the Tretyakov Gallery, “Image of the dance: on the 100th anniversary of Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes in Paris.”
If the exhibitions are successful, the organizers promise to try expanding the project and arrange similar 3D-exhibitions in the world’s largest airports, such as the ones in New York and Singapore.
