Biennale “EXPANSE” by Medeine Tribinevicius on November 9th, 2009

A couple of nights ago I attended the contemporary art Biennale “EXPANSE” at the Krasnoyarsk Museum Centre, a contemporary arts centre housed in the (former) Lenin Museum. This is a cool place, and not just because they had an ice-cream stand. The centre has kept much of the Soviet-era Lenin exhibit intact, and the Biennale exhibits were displayed amidst the museum exhibitions. There were quite a few art pieces taking on Lenin as a topic, including a video projection onto a plaster statue of Lenin and a holographic picture juxtaposing Soviet propaganda with corporate advertising/propaganda. Great stuff, photos to come.
