From 12 to 14 July in the space «Greenhouse» Vyksa-festival and DiDi Gallery will present special series of works by Sasha Braulov, Konstantin Reshetnikov and Pavel Pletnev.

As part of the collaboration, the artists visited Vyksa, where they got acquainted with the year-round formats of the festival: «Traveling theaters», «Vyksunskaya Mayoka», «Studio Once» and others, talked to local residents and were inspired by the general atmosphere of the city.

Sasha Braulov created a series of 14 embroideries dedicated to the avant-garde architecture and modernism of Vyksa. Among them the most recognizable buildings of the city: «Motherland Cinema», «Metallurgy Stadium», «Shukhovsky Tower» and others.

"I caught myself on the thought that there is something interesting and exciting happening around, which is quite unusual for such small cities. Upon my return to Petersburg, I edited 14 works in 14 days. Each house, each structure is unique, filled with its own stories, as are the people who live in them and interact with them."

Konstantin Reshetnikov, inspired by a visit to the metallurgical plant of Vyksa, created a series of metal sculptures "Unicorn" in corporate colors of the festival

«Unicorn - a mythological beast, well known to every Missonian, as it is also captured on the modern coat of arms of the city. Based on the city heraldry I made several steel unicorns in bright colors and merch as badges for Vyksa-festival. The image of a steel, bright unicorn emphasizes the connection of the modern holiday, the history of the city and its industrial base.»

Pavel Pletnev in the objects of the series «Jars» «completed» his impressions of the trip to Vyksa. Walking around the city, the artist noticed several elements characteristic of local wooden houses, such as a window on the roof. When creating the miniature, Paul used the Exosung slag - a stone formed by melting ore, which has a unique blue shade.
