Demonstration mode in the walls of an art museum is hardly someone to be surprised. This practice has arisen in the last century, and a couple of recent decades, it partook of even the world's largest treasury. Not a good life, I suppose, although official statements usually say that there is an evolutionary process of introducing haute couture in the sphere of "high art". For the sake of legitimizing the status and brewing exhibition show, where the famous brands appear predicated on the wings of the muses and hallowed names of great artists. Museums initially shy of his role, and then went into the taste and started to talk about participation in such projects with a touch of undisguised pride. One can go to talk about where the world is heading, but in terms of relations between "high fashion" with the international museum community all the old taboos lifted definitively. This symbiosis is recognized as lawful, organic and not subject to highbrow criticism. And what's terrible, if you look at things rationally? Exhibitions, presenters or another fashion house, collect copious press and are popular with the general public. Museums do not need to bother searching for sponsors, and representatives of the fashion industry – to puzzle over how to give his repertoire a little more respectability. After all, already agreed in the opinion that fashion is art, so that the vagaries of irrelevant … In 2007, the same Pushkin Museum held an exhibition devoted to Coco Chanel – and everyone was happy. Well, almost everything. Grouch will always be. The dog barks, the caravan moves on. Current diorovsky "caravan" is rich in luxurious garments, exhibition design and masterpieces of art. May feel that the building GMII possessed advanced boutique, originally decorated and equipped with special effects. Display cases, podiums, mirrors, installation, video projection, Light-arrangements – all out. The design of the organizers did not spare money. For example, in White Hall lined up two rows falshkolonn that mimic existing ones, with the difference that the clones are mounted in plastic display cases, flasks diorovskimi fashions. Created entourage aims to ensure that visitors find themselves in it (or rather, all the same visitor) from the heart might exclaim: "Wow!" Some came to himself from the aesthetic upheavals, audiences will discover that the local magnificence is not an end in itself. Celebration of the personality and creativity of the legendary couturier occurs in stages, according to the thematic sections. There is such headings as "Gardens of Dior," "Balls Dior, Christian Dior and the XVIII Century," "Body and Line," "Belle Epoque", etc., is worth at least installation titled "God and Gold" (combination of words Dieu and Or, again, not an accident): semi-circular niche White Hall turned into an altar, which is a genuine ancient Egyptian tomb, surrounded by orderly rows diorovskih perfume bottles and gold gown of 2004, which should resemble a prototype sample of 1954 … you have already correctly guessed that the work of the Christian Dior – this is only a starting point for the demonstration of achievements of the eponymous house, including the most recent – those that are produced under the artistic direction of John Galliano, who was sacked in March for misbehavior and anti-Semitic statements. The name of the disgraced maestro in the annotations are not met. But around the founder of the institution established a cult, intentionally or not ministers whose act dozens of artists and photographers. Where, he wondered, was inspired by the inventor of the unforgettable style, New Look? Yes, from here and drew – the paintings of Francisco Goya, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, Vincent van Gogh, Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Kasimir Malevich and other geniuses. Some of the items borrowed in the collection of the Dior and other borrowed at Versailles, the Louvre, Orsay Museum, Turin Pinakothek, Pushkin, the Tretyakov Gallery and in private European collections. Classical and avant-garde repertoire complemented opuses Tom Wesselmann, Shirin Neshat, Pierre and Gilles, Maurizio Cattelan, photographs Man Ray, Helmut Newton, Richard Avedon. Even some of our current artists involved in this show – we mention Vinogradov Dubosarsky and group Recycle. It is assumed that all this pictorial mosaic of diverse audience will be compared with diorovskimi dresses, coats, handbags, shoes, and jewelry. Spectacle fraught with catharsis – the truth, to predict where and why it should happen, do not take. Seek and yea shall find. Author: Velimir Moist
