GUM-Red-Line Gallery, located on Line 1, Floor 3 at GUM. presents the exhibition “Engineers of Art: Far from Balance” — a retrospective of the School of “Engineers of Art,” one of the most phenomenal Saint Petersburg underground art movements that still remains practically unknown in Moscow.
The School of “Engineers of Art” was established in 1989. Its members include Inal Savchenkov, Franz Rodwalt, Sergey En’kov, Grigory Strelnikov, and Vladislav Balakleysky.
“Engineers of Art” are directly linked to the history of Saint Petersburg underground art: their paintings were showcased at the projects of the “New Artists”; members of the group were a part of the first techno raves in Russia; the “Engineers” participated in live performances by Sergey Kuryokhin’s Pop-Mechanica. Members of the art group continue to work together and join forces with other artists and projects. The “Engineers” hold exhibitions in Russia and abroad. Inal Savchenkov, one of the founders of the art group, is currently experimenting with new painting methods. His younger brother Sergey En’kov collaborates on large-scale projects with Russian theatres and museums, including the Bolshoi Theatre and the Manege Exhibition Hall. Franz Rodwalt, based in Berlin, works as a sculptor and designer with renowned Hollywood directors, including the Wachowskis, Quentin Tarantino, Wes Anderson, Terry Gilliam.
Curators: Nikolai Margiev and Ekaterina Iushkevich.
The gallery is open 10:00 to 22:00! Entry is free!
