Sans'">The <i>III Moscow International Biennale For Young Art</i>,
as its forerunners, focuses on a young generation of artists
aged up to 35 years. Titled <i>Under A Tinsel Sun</i> and laid
out as a multimedia project, it portrays the heterogeneity of
subjects, languages and styles, which are so urgent in this
generation, and at the same time looks into the content-related
positioning of these artists born between the mid-1970s and the
mid-1980s, as well as into the conditions for their development
in terms of content. <i>Under A Tinsel Sun</i> assumes that,
despite the cultural, economic and social differences that may
exist between the participants from different countries, there
is a common factor in the impossibility of locating oneself by
belonging to certain peer groups (whether in the ideological or
in the artistic sense). With the absence of a “we”, the
self-positioning of the individual becomes the pressing
imperative of the present especially when being aware that
“reality” as such is constructed, subjective and fragmented.
This realization becomes the drive for the artists’
self-positioning and for their production of works that no
longer describe an “objective” reality but catalyze a
multidimensional and alternative perception of the world. With
this being the focus, <i>Under A Tinsel Sun </i>explores the
works of a young generation of artists and presents drawing,
painting, photography, video, performance, mixed media,
installation and sound art. The exhibition project promotes the
critical examination of the conditions for artistic production
today. </font></div>
