On February 19 at 12:30 we invite you to an art brunch dedicated to the retrospective exhibition of the Leningrad underground legend Evgeny Mikhnov-Voitenko. The event will take place at the HITCH restaurant as part of the Taste Project, which combines taste in gastronomy and art.
At brunch we will talk about Russian art of the second half of the last century, originally from St. Petersburg. It has already become history, but for some reason it is still difficult for us to answer the question “What was that?” Alexander Arefiev and Richard Vasmi, Evgeny Rukhin and Evgeny Mikhnov-Voitenko, Vladimir Ovchinnikov and Gleb Bogomolov, Solomon Rossin and Boris Koshelokhov are just some of the heroes of this time who blazed their own strategies in art.
The guest speaker will be Pavel Gerasimenko, art historian, independent art critic. He worked as a correspondent for the publications ART1, The Art Newspaper Russia, his articles were published in Vedomosti, Kommersant, the magazine DI/Dialogue of Arts, and the Culture Department of the Republiс portal. She collaborates with the Riga art portal Arterritory.com and maintains her own blog, Art a Day, on Patreon.
