The Manege Fair is over, but Cosmoscow Online continues

Dear Friends,

The 9th edition of Cosmoscow International Contemporary Art Fair took place against all odds this year and was a huge success. Thank you for all your support!

There was a lot that was new at this year’s fair, and we are not just referring to the change in dates and venue. Cosmoscow 2021 played host to a record number of galleries, which came from the widest range of countries in the fair’s history. We introduced ‘The Inbetween: Digital Art as NFTs’, a new section of the fair that was developed in collaboration with CADAF (Contemporary and Digital Art Fair). It was also only the second time that we presented the collective booth Created in Moscow, together with Moscow’s Department of Entrepreneurship and Innovative Development and the Agency for Creative Industries. This year, the booth was dedicated to sculpture.

As usual, the fair presented a number of projects in connection with programs run by the Cosmoscow Foundation for Contemporary Art. Visitors were greeted by Razzle-Dazzle, a new work by Irina Korina (our Artist of the Year), and Clot, an installation by Misha Bury (winner of the Ruinart Art Patronat competition) which was created specially for Cosmoscow Fair. Visitors also had the chance to see booths by Multimedia Art Museum, Moscow and Vyksa Art Residence, who featured as our Museum of the Year and Institution of the Year respectively. Finally, for our Collector’s Eye program, we displayed selected works from the collections of Alexey and Vera Priyma (Moscow) and Evgeny Khamin (Voronezh).

We are infinitely grateful to our partners who made it possible for the fair to take place: the official partner Ruinart, the automotive partner Audi, the innovative partner Samsung, the partner Hutton Development, the watch partner Breguet, the Cosmoscow Online partner Visa, the partner Otkritie Private Banking and the official hotel The St. Regis Moscow Nikolskaya.

We also thank the partner for fundraising and special projects v confession agency, VOSS official water, the insurance partner „Alfastrakhovanie“, the logistics partner Fine Art Way, the partner for the design of Collector’s Lounge DesignAid, the partner for the design MPS Pooling Systems, the partner for transfers Ultima Yandex.Go, partner of VIP Preiview Zelinsky & Rosen.

Thank you for joining us at the Moscow Manezh. We were delighted that you were able to spend time with the art and enjoy our wider program of events, including performances and a series of discussions at our Mediaforum and Cosmoscow Talks.

The good news is that Cosmoscow Fair continues online! The online version of fair will be available until September 26 and can be found on the platform TEO. Whether you didn’t manage to attend the fair in person or just feel that you didn’t have long enough with the art, we encourage you to visit us at Cosmoscow Online.

Remember, online visitors can receive access to special rewards by making a purchase with any Visa card, including an invitation to an exclusive event by Cosmoscow Collectors Club. They can also enjoy free delivery on all purchases over 150,000 rubles within the Moscow region as part of a special offer by Otkritie Private Banking.

We’ll see you next year when Cosmoscow will be celebrating its 10th edition!

MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK BERLIN AND MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK RUSSIA IN MOSCOW AGREED ON DESIGNER EXCHANGE

MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK BERLIN AND MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK RUSSIA IN MOSCOW AGREED ON DESIGNER EXCHANGE

NASTYA NEKRASOVA, a Russian brand and permanent participant of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia joined MBFW Berlin for the first time. The video presentation of NASTYA NEKRASOVA’s digital collection was streamed at mbfw.berlin on September 7, as well as at MBFW Berlin’s official social media accounts. The digital show by NASTYA NEKRASOVA was arranged under the global initiative MBFW International Editions Vol 1 for designer exchange between Mercedes-Benz Fashion Weeks.  Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia in Moscow and Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin made an agreement, and in turn a designer from MBFW Berlin will join the fall season of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia scheduled for September 19 through 23.

“The new collection has been inspired by ASSA, a super-popular Soviet film, namely the night dreams of the protagonist,” says Anastasia Nekrasova.

“Global collaboration and allying are major trends of the new era. The more experience we share, the more we communicate, all the more opportunities for designers from across the globe – it is easier for them to get into the spotlight, to be sustainable and unique,” believes Alexander Shumsky, President of Russian Fashion Council and Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia.

NASTYA NEKRASOVA uses organic and recycled materials, supports local artisans and manufacturers and follows the slow fashion principles – less clothes, better quality. In 2021, the brand started a new totally digital clothing line.

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin is taking place from September 6 to 8, both offline and online. Complementing these shows are presentations of fashion films by Marc Cain and talks by „She‘s Mercedes The Studio X MBFW Berlin“, a panel talk of the „Fashion Council Germany“ and three „Fashion Open Studio x MBFW talks“.

She as the mirror which reflects our deepest fears and desires, she as the deposit of one’s tenderness and vehicle for self-awareness, she as the bridge to connect with one’s feelings and emotions. In the exhibition ‚Sie‘, Francisco ‚Totem‘ Perez shows us the different nuances of life thought the color spectrum with androgynous and feminine figures as the interpreters of scenes who invites us to a vindication of feelings, the creative spirit and the inner feminine which resides in every individual.

The second artists weekend and this time devoted to our fabulous Jana Jacob, will be open from 6th – 8th of August at the Haze Gallery. Captivated by the endless aesthetic and formal possibilities of the materiality of the human body, Jacob makes a highly sensual and tactile impression of surface and mass in her monumental acryl paintings. Subjects are imbued with a sculptural yet elusive dimensionality that verges on the abstract. In recent paintings, she renews her enduring figurative investigations by depicting bodies embracing and intertwined.

Next year the fair will take place from 24 – 27 March. The dates for 2023 and 2024 have also already been set.
Building on its successful premiere in 2021, SPARK Art Fair Vienna will, starting from next spring, evolve into the leading international meeting place for contemporary art in Austria. „We are convinced that we have created a new format for future art fairs with this concentrated format, the focus on new works and the balance between a strong regional basis and internationality,“ reflects Managing Director, Renger van den Heuvel. The foundations have now been laid and the next steps are being planned: „In future, through further events such as this, the Marx Halle will become known as Vienna’s centre for contemporary art“.

Artist weekend. Kleber Cianni

Artist weekend. Kleber Cianni

We are launching a series of mini-shows in the Haze Gallery space. The Artist Weekend will include a 3-day solo exhibition, artist encounter, artist talk, and special offers to purchase selected works.

This cycle is opened by our Brazilian-Italian artist Kleber Cianni. Kleber’s work is a mixture between reality and fiction, between the present and colorful ancestral heritage. Abstract portraits created by him are born at the junction of these two worlds—a riot of colors and shapes, living their own lives and filling everything around.

From 2 to 4 July, we invite you to look into the eyes of this nonexistent real world.

Purplehaze Gender issue 006 available for preorder from now!

Gender is something we don’t choose, so we better take it for granted (lucky the one who finds it easy). Gender doesn’t define our mental and physical abilities to the extent social attitudes do…What else do you know of gender? For the latest #006 print edition, we at Purplehaze invited our favourite artists, photographers, models, and producers to share their personal vision of gender with the public… It turned out fresh and curious!

Print on demand is already available. Make sure you’ve pre-ordered your copy at Haze Gallery or on our website:
purplehazemag.com/shop/

The release of #006 Genderless is planned for September, 01.

The Concept of Authenticity: A Group Exhibition of Figurative Art

The Concept of Authenticity: A Group Exhibition of Figurative Art

Reception | Friday, June, 4, 2021, 4 – 6 pm
Exhibition Duration | June 5 – June 25 , 2021, 10 am – 6 pm

Curator | Iren Russo       Jr.  Curator | Sasha Grigg        Coordinator | Lyubov Melnickowa

Haze Gallery is now pleased to present you The Concept of Authenticity: A Group Exhibition of Figurative Art, an exhibition of the new epoch of emerging international contemporary figurative art at its Schoneberger address from 05 – 25 June 2021. The project will present 20 emerging artists in figurative art to an audience of international and local Berlin collectors, artists and art connoisseurs.

The artists explore contemporary subjects, including gender and sexuality, society and politics, race, and body image. Pushing the notion of figurative painting, the bodies they depict may be fragmented, morphed, merged, and remade but never wholly cohesive. They may also be fluid and non-gendered, drawn from news stories, represented by animals, or formed from the paint itself. From a perspective of raising questions, this exhibition brings together various professionally trained artists. With a shared academic background of these individuals, the show intends further to discuss the possibilities of figurative painting at present.
