  • [01] Russian avant garde from Kostakis collection at the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art

    The exhibition "Beyond common sense" with works of the Russian avant-garde from Kostakis collection of the National Museum of Modern Art (NMMA) will be held at the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art at the TIF-Helexpo premises in Thessaloniki.

    It is the first time that part of the 1,275 works of Kostakis collection will be exhibited at a venue outside Moni Lazariston housing NMMA.

    67 works of the most salient Russian artists of the Russian avant-garde as well as other important archive material (photos, painting and screenings) of the collector Giorgos Kostakis are presented to public.

    Collector George Kostakis was born in Moscow in 1913, where he lived for the biggest part of his life. For at least three decades he served as a patron of the Arts for most of the exponents of Russian avant-garde creating thus the biggest collection of Russian avant-garde artwork in the world.

    The exhibition is divided in four big sections representing the most significant thematic tendencies of this artistic trend. The first section presents the art's transit from the representation to non-objectivity. The relation between art and nature as established through the work and the lessons of Mikhail Matyushin, is presented in the second section.

    The third section follows the relation between art and architecture that leads to the production of useful objects. Russian Constructivist Vladimir Tatlin's flying machine "Letatlin", one of the lastest projects of the Russian avant-guarde that did not become reality, will also be displayed.

    Finally, the fourth section introduces the work of Solomon Nikritin, one of the artists of the newest generation of the Russian avant garde, who connects his painting with the irrational which in turn leads to a feeling of terror and despair.

    The exhition will be inaugurated on Saturday, January 23 and will run until May 8 and will be open to public on Thursdays 10:00-22:00, Fridays 10:00-19:00, Saturdays 10:00-18:00 and on Sundays from 11:00-15:00.
