We are happy to welcome the new season of social events and with it the summary that is often rich with behind-the-scenes stories. We have already been stingy with various stories during our absence, so we are looking forward to receiving them from the organizers of this entertainment.
Therefore, we advise you not to miss the publication of the weekly column “I couldn’t help but come”, or better yet, set a reminder and stock up on popcorn. We promise that galleries with photos will seem to you better than any Turkish series, and short epigraphs will be more interesting than other reading materials.
Well, let’s use the stagecoach and go on an exciting journey through the sinister places of the capital to dilute the arrogant indifference of the secular elite. We promise to telegraph, but occasionally stop for a glass of sparkling wine. Chin-chin!
Where can you meet Denis Simachev, Olga Sviblova and Anar in the same place and at the same time this week? Only at the opening of the contemporary art fair |catalogue| From the Galleries Association (AGA). Held for the second year in a row, the event already brings together not only collectors, gallerists and everyone else interested, but also a respected corner of society. At the preview, held a few days before the official opening, there was literally nowhere to fall, a long queue at the entrance stretched for tens of meters along Pyatnitskaya Street, along the monumental walls of the Ivan Sytin printing house. The stands of fifty-four galleries were located on two floors of the historic building; works of art were flying away at incredible speed. The founder of the Military Gallery, Polina Military, admitted that she managed to change the exhibition in the first hours of work due to the fact that many of the paintings were purchased. We’ve only seen such a full house at Cosmoscow; This speaks of our people’s endless love for beauty (or, as you see, the ability to invest money in art), which is also not bad.
Not a day goes by without Yulia Peresild. But considering the actor has a treasure trove of interesting stories, we’re not complaining. This time, on the eve of Cosmonautics Day, the VK office hosted “This is Space, Baby!”, in which he talked about his creative biography, preparation for the shooting of the film “Challenge” and the flight into space. hosted a presentation of his book. While your humble gossip column editor may have already read Julia’s work, we’ve only now learned that the book’s title isn’t just a catchy phrase. These are the words said by cosmonaut Oleg Novitsky (in the movie – Oleg Bogdanov) directly at the ISS station.
The event was held as part of the monthly “VK Optional” meetings held by company employees and guests with artists and scientists.
On April 10, the club and training platform A-House turned one year old. On this occasion, a party was held in the area adjacent to the newly opened “Architecture 1.0” exhibition. While the guests, including not only representatives of architectural firms but also senior officials of the lacquer industry, were “surrounded” by the wave of celebration, everyone present was given a tour and future plans were explained. And this is the opening of a unique library, where there will be more than a hundred books from around the world, and also the opening of a full-fledged restaurant. But these are all launches, of course, on a completely different scale than participation in the Venice Biennale. As A-House founder Daria Belyakova admits, this is exactly the goal for next year.
On Thursday SLZ and Artemy Lebedev Studio presented their joint project, an innovative elevator. The main reason we attended this event was obviously interest in what such a device could surprise. The elevator is controlled from a smartphone, can make compliments, change the lighting to suit your image and even take photos. True, the guests of the presentation did not take advantage of the second function – they probably decided not to leave the event photographers unemployed. And they preferred to talk among themselves instead of the hipster elevator. The night ended with electronic music by Gorilla Zippo (Basta’s new project focused on electronic music). But by this time the number of guests had of course increased. They’re not even sure exactly what the reason is; They went to check if a new elevator had appeared in their house or if it was related to Basta. As a colleague admitted to us, singing with an artist on their popular songs is different than dancing to DJ sets.
This Wednesday, the entire metropolitan fashion community went to the KM20 concept store. The event was a party in honor of the launch of ECCO and Natasha Ramsay-Levi’s second joint launch. So it’s no surprise that there are so many people looking to check out trendy pairs that combine the Danish brand’s innovations with the designer’s recognizable style. Among the guests were Yulia Peresild, Ksenia Shipilova, Asmat Chkotua, Dasha Instasamka, Alexey Sukharev and Ksenia Solovyova. By the way, Daria Yastrubitskaya was responsible for the music, but the cocktail menu with names was developed by the KM20 team.
On April 10, the Military Gallery hosted the presentation of the new issue of Snob magazine on the road theme. More than 200 people attended the presentation, as the heroes of the gossip columns are probably especially missing traveling right now. The event allowed guests to recall unusual stories about their trips, which they passionately discussed among themselves throughout the evening. Once the wall of a monastery in Tibet collapsed in front of Marina Gevorkyan, the publisher of the Snob media project, and stylist Vlad Lisovets remembered his visa, which expired on the same day when he left home before going to Italy. Travel atmosphere Dagestan funk band “Nooo, what are you doing?” supported by its performance. By the way, one of the members of the group, Ramazan Mallaev, described the concert trip in Buryatia as one of the most memorable trips.
Actress Marina Vorozhicheva, in her own words, celebrated her birthday for the first time “to date” and did it on a grand scale. The birthday girl gave a concert in front of her friends and colleagues, performing her favorite Soviet songs and even tango. Of course, in honor of her birthday and in gratitude for the creative program, guests could not help showering Marina with warm words and gifts. And only one person decided to break the total black dress code – designer Evgenia Gurova brought bright colors to the party with her fuchsia jacket. And the guests of the party did not have to worry about their figures, because Marina treated them to a PP cake.
Girls, rejoice, there is one more area for training and massage – a first-class wellness studio has been opened in the center of the capital, by the way, you can also find a unique gyrotonic simulator system here. I’d be lying if I said I’d heard this before, but the instructor’s story at the event and the few exercises performed there impressed even our knowledgeable audience. Especially the realization that after training we will receive a high-quality massage, we do not need to go anywhere for this, we just need to walk next door. It was this desire that guided the studio’s owner, Marika Kriheli, in creating PPL. “I’m tired of wasting time on the road,” she complained among us girls.
Many guests of Marina Vorozhishcheva’s party, who probably did not satisfy their need for a sweet PP cake, went on Tuesday to the presentation of a new dessert from the trendsetter of the confectionery world, Vera Churina, and the pastry chef of Arkady Novikov’s Miss You restaurant. Ilyana Chernysheva. As Vera shared, the cake has no analogues in the capital, but secular guests are not experts in the field of desserts, so they immediately decided to test it for suitability of ingredients. Therefore, we are sure that the incident will not go unnoticed on social networks.
