Source: Novosibirsk State University – Novosibirsk State University – The exhibition is dedicated to the modern interpretation of symbolism in art. The organizers set themselves the goal of making complex artistic images accessible for understanding, revealing the meanings embedded by the artists and helping viewers avoid misinterpretations. The main criterion for selecting works was the presence of a specific symbol – artists were asked not only to create a work, but also to accompany it with an author’s explanation in order to immerse the viewer deeper into their concept.
The exhibition opening began with a performance by Anastasia Pomenchuk, who played a composition on a Chinese drum. Then Nina Leonidovna Panina, associate professor of the Department of History, Culture and Arts of the Humanitarian Institute of NSU, gave a lecture on the symbolism of the 20th century. The program was supplemented by a modern dance by Alexandra Shcherbakova and a painting competition, and Roman Li concluded the evening with a musical performance. Inspired by Paganini, he gradually removed the strings from the violin, continuing to play on the remaining ones – this number became a bright final point of the event.
The event attracted a total of 110 guests. The exhibition featured paintings created using a variety of techniques and materials, from small cardboard canvases to large canvases on a stretcher.
— I really like the atmosphere, and I am incredibly happy that the exhibition took place here at this time, because the light space below and the dark space above are a great way to break out of the routine of life. And I really like the level of the works that are presented here. Among them, there are those that you have to understand and look behind which you can see a whole mechanism, — Roman Li shared his impressions.
Another guest was inspired by the exhibition to undertake a creative experiment: “I wanted to go through all the exhibited paintings and paint each piece of paper in accordance with the associations it evoked, and also add an emotionally charged signature – inside each piece of the letters of the word ‘N O R M’ there would be different elements, and the outline of the letter itself could be, for example, broken (anxiety), pale (detachment, emptiness), wavy (lightness, pliability),” said Nikita Butin.
Couldn’t make it to the opening? No problem! The exhibition will continue to run for a month on the 2nd floor of Block 2 of NSU. You still have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of art and discover new facets of the creativity of NSU artists.
