Birds, guns and shadows from afterlife
A visit to the 3rd moscow biennial
Forget the crisis, the cold and the autumn depression. In Moscow, contemporary art is booming. In the first 2 days, only the main venue of the Moscow biennial had over 10000 visitors. Kompromat was there: at all VIP openings, professional previews and parties. Against exclusion, we saw all the shows, from the Russian povera and the New Old Cold War. Who else was there?
