[По-русски см. ниже] This exhibition of the St. Petersburg artists is a result of their three-month stay as fellows of Joseph Brodsky Memorial Fund at the American Academy in Rome in 2010.

The luxurious abundance of marble and flying figures in Roman churches and cathedrals occasioned Ivan Govorkov to create a series of drawings Marble.  “I am imbued with the museum figurative classics at the subconscious level.  And this subconscious, devoid of goals or ideas, is revealed in my drawings”.  The artist draws spontaneously and aimlessly, allowing his hand to glide over the paper on its own as if revealing the invisible.

Елена Прилашкевич / Искусство ТВ

Официальная презентация проекта, прошедшая на территории Дома кино, вызвала настоящий ажиотаж. Новоявленные члены Ассоциации ожидали, что на мероприятии соберется не более десятка человек. На деле всё получилось иначе. Небольшое пространство арт-кафе «Стендаль» оказалось заполнено до отказа. На встречу пришли не только представители прессы, но и непосредственные участники петербургской художественной жизни. Read more »
