CYLAND Participates at The Magician’s Hat Exhibition in Moscow

The Magician’s Hat opens on December 23, 2015 at the Solyanka State Gallery (Solyanka street 1/2, bld. 2) in Moscow. The exhibition will be on display until February 23, 2016.

CYLAND MediaArtLab artists Anna Frants and Elena Gubanova participate at The Magician’s Hat exhibition the Solyanka State Gallery in Moscow. The exhibition is dedicated the moomins and other idols of childhood.

The Moomins are the children of the outstanding Scandinavian storyteller (and also the artist and poet) Tove Jansson. Not only did she invent her characters, but, unlike Astrid Lindgren (creator of the hero of last year’s hugely popular Karlsson-on-the-Roof Exhibit at Solyanka), she also illustrated her own books. More specifically, she first drew them and then accompanied the result with words, hence the primacy of the image in this case.

Vernissage on December 22 at 18:00

This year’s exhibition continues the series of works “Personal Space” begun in 2015, dedicated to the phenomenon of attachment/love to the inanimate. In “Other Shores,” Nabokov called it an “individual secret”: “With unexplainable tranquility, I looked through the glass at a handful of distant diamond lights, shimmering in the blackness of distant hills, and then as if slipping into a velvet pocket. Subsequently, I distributed such treasures to the heroes of my books, to somehow get rid of this wealth.”
