Here and Now
moscow
The annual contemporary art review ‘Here and Now' is being held for the third time in a row outside the walls of museums and galleries. Works by the participants are placed on squares and streets, harmoniously integrating into the existing urban landscape and bringing contemporary art closer to residents of the city. New points of attraction arise on the artistic map of Moscow.
This year the project expands not only its geography, but also its artistic composition: special attention is paid to the work of regional authors who find new angles of perception for the Moscow landscapes already familiar to us. The programme of support for young art is also ongoing: as part of the festival, art objects by Moscow art college graduates appear on the streets of the capital.

Popularisation of contemporary art as an integral part of the urban landscape.
1
Stimulation of the cultural and social dynamics of public urban spaces; the involvement of city residents in the study of history and Russian culture.
2
Decentralisation and activation of the cultural map of districts; the creation of new, iconic city sights.
3
Support and encouragement for development of the regional art scene.
4
‘Here and Now' is the story of how art changes not only central neighbourhoods, but also wholly typical residential developments. The works by contemporary artists transform familiar squares and streets: what seemed ordinary becomes original and vibrant, in constant dialogue with the architectural appearance of the capital.

RODION
ARTAMONOV
The object ‘Wind' is an enlarged version of the ‘kids' sculptures, as the author himself calls them. A series of works is dedicated to his daughter Ulyana and has been a constant feature in the artist’s oeuvre since her birth. This is a kind of porcelain diary, capturing various stages as the little girl grows up, and the memorable events associated with her: favourite toys, first steps and childhood friendship. Here she is already racing on a balance bike — with a smile, with laughter and the wind in her hair, and the artist, trying not to miss a single moment, consciously becomes a participant in the race as time steadily slips away.
Thanks to Rodion Artamonov’s touching and poetic narration, awakened memories prompt the viewer to embark on a journey into the fairy-tale world of childhood.
The creative method of Elektrostal artist Rodion Artamonov is based on constant experimentation with porcelain. He prefers figurative realistic sculpture and creates unique small works, completing the entire technological process himself.
The author graduated from the Gzhel Art Institute with a degree in Decorative and Applied Arts. Over the next four years Artamonov was engaged in the development of models and moulds for porcelain manufactories and opened his own workshop. In particular the artist participated in the development of official souvenirs for the 2018 FIFA World Cup under commission for the Elektroizolyator porcelain factory, transferred part of the copyright for the production of a number of his sculptures to the Gardner factory, and also created a sculptural portrait of Peter I for the House Museum of Peter I in Zaandam (Netherlands).
Since 2018 Rodion has been teaching sculpture and ceramics at the children’s art school in the city of Elektrostal, where he developed a course in classical academic painting, as well as a programme of plastic anatomy for artists.

A professional designer and artist, curator and graduate of the design faculty of the A.L. Stieglitz State Art and Industry Academy in St. Petersburg. The theme of his diploma was ‘The Game as a Design Method', and it seems that this principle formed the basis of all of the author’s further creative activity. Even today he ‘plays' with form, volume and space.
Since 1997 Lublinsky has been collaborating with galleries, museums and other institutions as an artist and curator. He has taken part in about a hundred notable public art projects and dozens of solo exhibitions in Russia and abroad. The author’s best known works are his little red men in Perm, ‘The Most Beautiful Horses in the World' on the square by the Manege in the centre of St. Petersburg, a huge yellow duckling in Moscow’s Gorky Park, the large-scale installation ‘Friendship of the Peoples' at VDNKh, and his acclaimed collaboration in the spring of 2023 for BoscoVesna.
Andrey Lublinsky’s works feature in museum and private collections in Russia and abroad, including: the collection of the State Russian Museum, the PERMM Museum of Contemporary Art, the All-Russian Museum of Decorative Arts, the Erarta Museum of Contemporary Art, the SKOLKOVO School of Management, and Dukley Gardens (Budva).

About the author
Birds from the new project ‘BIRDWATCHING' have now joined the inhabitants of artist Andrey Lublinsky’s world of fantasy. Here this superform is an ordinary bird-whistle from the arsenal of ‘folk crafts'. The ritual instrument, which eventually became a children’s plaything and is now turned into a kind of artefact, drew the artist’s attention for its conciseness and minimalist simplicity. Lublinsky, in his characteristic manner, decomposes this image to the simplest basic forms and reassembles it.
In this project the author makes a choice in favour of pure combinations. So the colour scheme of the object created specifically for the ‘Here and Now' project is a monochrome classic of black and white, harmoniously diluted with active yellow. Using this demonstratively bright avian colouring, the manifestation and definiteness of a new form is achieved.

‘Birdwatching’ Bakery No.9
Nizhny Novgorod artist Vladimir Chernyshev alternates studio practices with the creation of land art works. His main focus is on working with the disappearing cultural landscape and the transformation of archetypal images in modern culture. The author creates site-specific installations that have no final versions and may change under the influence of the environment. His creative method involves experimenting with the form, texture and colour of materials both natural and man-made, from wood to tar.
The artist has taken part in the European Biennale of Contemporary Art ‘Manifesta' and the Moscow International Biennale of Young Art, and was included in the long and short lists of Russian awards in the field of contemporary art. In 2017 he became a laureate of the Garage Museum grant programme, and in 2021, a finalist in the Kandinsky Prize nomination ‘Young Artist Category. Project of the Year'. The author collaborates with the Artwin Gallery (Moscow) and Tikhaya Studio (Nizhny Novgorod).

About the author
A sundial is a device for measuring time by the length of a shadow, already in use for thousands of years. The simple form accumulating natural resources, practicality and also symbolism makes it possible to imbue the object with additional meanings.
In his new installation Vladimir Chernyshev reinterprets this model. The dial is made of tar, a material associated with the absorption and fluidity of related materials — oil and plastic. This resulting base is comparable to a black hole, from which a steel gnomon emerges, modified under the influence of the environment. The clock refers to a shift and even a hiatus in time, while never losing its functionality and always clearly counting the minutes.
Minimalist artistic solutions hint at a violation of the topological properties of time: linearity and one-dimensionality collide with dialectics and anachronism. Working with the fourth dimension, the author polarizes the space in the courtyard of the Museum of Moscow — the axis ‘here and now' and the axis-portal, referring to an unrealized past or an impossible future.
