The exhibition, dedicated to the art community "Ball and Cross" shows a multi-layered process: the
experience of the situation and adaptation to new conditions of gallery owners, artists, collectors and
art lovers involved in the unexpectedly accessible process of collecting.
The Ball and Cross community was created on Facebook as "a space for mutual assistance of artists and
collectors" on April 3, 2020
The exhibition is based on 10 collections of different collectors (Polina Gerasimova, Lea Verni, Elena
Voronina and Tatiana Udras, Pavel Seplyarsky, Igor Sukhanov, Aidan Salakhova and Andrey Arkhipov,
Maxim Boxer, Vera and Alexey Priyma), each of them having authored their own exposition. Thus, the
resulting art space helped to reveal the features of each collection and tell about the principles and
motives that drove the collectors when choosing particular artworks. You will percieve their emotional
states at different stages of experiencing the situation.
In total, the exhibition displays works of more than 200 artists.
Where: the All-Russian Museum of Decorative, Applied and Folk Arts at the address 3, Delegatskaya
Street, Moscow.
When: from JANUARY 16, 2021, to FEBRUARY 14, 2021
