Contemporary Ural art became an important phenomenon in Russian art in great part thanks to the Ural Industrial Biennial of Contemporary Art — an international exhibition that is being held in Yekaterinburg since 2010. Artists from Yekaterinburg, Nizhny Tagil, and other Ural cities reinterpret the images of the Post-Soviet context by actively participating in museum and gallery projects in Russia and abroad.
Visitors of the GUM-Red-Line Gallery will be able to see pieces by artists participating in the 5th Ural Industrial Biennial of Contemporary Art: sculptures by Ilya Grishaev, photos by Ivan Petrokovich, animations by Masha Sedyaeva, Ural toys by Anna and Vitaly Cherepanov. Participants of the 4th Ural Industrial Biennial of Contemporary Art Sergey Poteryaev, Fyodor Telkov, Alexey Shchigalev, GKP Group, Lyudmila Kalinichenko. They will present the projects that were shown at past exhibitions. Artist and curator Vladimir Seleznev, participant of the 2nd Ural Industrial Biennial, will present his series Suprematism from Euroshop (2016 — 2018) part of which is on display in the Stadtgalerie, Kiel (Germany).
"The main focus of the Ural Industrial Biennial of Contemporary Art is to introduce the regional character of Ural art within an international context. Glocality is an important movement in contemporary world art, and we are developing this trend. The theme of the 5th Biennial is Immortality. This is a good reason to consider results: what remains of production and art processes? We are glad to be able to present the phenomenon of Ural art by organizing an exhibition of projects by Biennial participants at the new GUM-Red Line Gallery", — notes Alisa Prudnikova, Ural Industrial Biennial of Contemporary Art Commissioner.
"The preview of the 5th Ural Industrial Biennial of Contemporary Art at GUM-Red-Line Gallery underlines the importance of regional art for the development of Russian contemporary art. We do consider that a presentation of art by up-and-coming and established Ural artists is both interesting and timely. Most of the projects will be shown for the first time in Moscow", — says Igor Kazakov, GUM-Red-Line Gallery Director.
