Photography of Alexander Terebenin is much like archeology, and his strolls though the city are akin to expeditions – inconspicuous; with neither fuss nor pose. The extraction is carried out openly, without gold miners’ sweat, pioneers’ vehemence or scientists’ zeal. Roaming round and about, melancholically dwelling here and now, the artist retains the time that flowed here and then.

“I am I and my circumstance”
Jose Ortega y Gasset
Meditations on Quixote
1914
On the cover of the collected essays by Sergey Lvovich Hollerbach “Notes of an Artist”(1), there is one of his drawings included in the exhibition. The depicted person looks a little bit like the author, but Sergey Lvovich maintains that the drawing was not conceived as a self-portrait, even though one could not deny the resemblance of certain traits. This, so to speak, is a generalized image of an artist. He is depicted in profile with a sketchbook and a pen in hand, and he seems unaware that he is caught by a beholder, being fully engaged in his work.

Frants Gallery Space warmly invites you to attend the opening reception for “Up to Twelfth Generation” by Alexander Terebenin
Wednesday, June 20th
7:00pm-10:00pm
Frants Gallery Space
Rubinshteina 23 apt 39
St Petersburg, Russia
Up to Twelfth Generation
Photography of Alexander Terebenin is much like archeology, and his strolls though the city are akin to expeditions – inconspicuous; with neither fuss nor pose. The extraction is carried out openly, without gold miners’ sweat, pioneers’ vehemence or scientists’ zeal. Roaming round and about, melancholically dwelling here and now, the artist retains the time that flowed here and then.
Time is retained in things – shapes, surfaces, losses. In signs applied by people and half-obliterated by weather or adversity – or by repairs, senseless and merciless, much like weather and adversity. But also in signs applied by people and obliterated by people because they no longer think like this. Or because they do not think at all – it so happened.
Frants Gallery Space is excited to announce – we will be heading back to Lithuania to participate in this year’s international contemporary art fair, ArtVilnius12, from June 27th – July 1st. Frants Gallery Space will be bringing artist, Marina Koldobskaya, who will be exhibiting her new work, PERSONAL BAGGAGE
…in addition, Frants Gallery Space will also be bringing Cyland Media artist, Sergej Denisov who will be exhibiting his Mechanical Bugs or "Grownup Toys".
The agenda of the art fair ARTVILNIUS’12 includes an educational programme for children, youth and adults, meetings with artists, podium discussions, lectures, and a cycle of videos about artists as well as various campaigns and performances.

Writer Sergey Dovlatov (1941-1990) stands out in Russian literature for having placed his works on the border between fierce testimony and playful exaggerations about life. His independent way of thinking was fresh and reviving for many people during the Soviet times and it still is today. In 1979, after being expelled from the Union of Soviet Journalists and conscripted to military service, Dovlatov left Russia and moved to New York where he was free to publish his first two novels Kompromis (“The Compromise”) and Zapovednik (“The Nature Reserve”).

[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. Read more »
