For the first time in the new history, the curator of the Russian pavilion at the Venice Biennale is the state museum-#hermitage According to the videos and photos that I have been looking through, the whole space is immersed in darkness( so Russian), in which the first bulletin board is illuminated by passages about the role of the Hermitage and the masterpiece “The Return of the Prodigal Son” by Rembrandt, which set the theme and name “Lc 15: 11–32” . And he, it turns out, had just returned from some regular “storm in the desert”. Alexander Sokurov personally sprinkled a son’s heels with sand, although this detail is not visible. I just thought that this is a great #metaphor of my country, all our art, and even me personally. We all seem to be such a ridiculous aesthetic outcasts/marginals/outsiders, so-called poor relatives, those same #prodigalsons, whom perhaps even their parents no longer expect ... #venicebiennale2019 #russianpavillion #сиротаискусства (at Venice, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxt5-oxnIFy/?igshid=vfw6pbwh8w4p
