Pavel Pepperstein's exhibition at the Garage Museum Until June 2 It is harder to describe Pavel Pepperstein's exhibition than to photograph and talk about it. The third floor of the Garage now houses a space station almost like from Kubrick's "Space Odyssey". Each section-hall is dedicated to a separate myth or landscape invented by Pepperstein. Here are new countries with territories and government bodies; political utopias; an almost real hall for the G8 summits; Lenin, like a sleeping beauty, awaits the new dawn of communism, or maybe just a kiss; a golden baby hovers alone in a dark hall. Pepperstein is the heir to Moscow conceptualism in the direct (son of Viktor Pivovarov) and all other senses. From the beginning of his creative path, he is "one of the most active mythmakers of contemporary Russian art." At Garage they don't call his exhibition a retrospective, but all they show are "stages of a long journey" from the 1970s (children's drawings and fantasies) to the present day. And more! Be prepared to be surprised and laugh all the time. More pictures and texts: Instagram: / ooohmyart #ohmyart #pepperstein
