The museum is like a big playground

Once upon a time, Pushkinsky came up with the idea of ​​launching a series of photographs about the museum through children's eyes. If adults already feel lost at exhibitions, then it is very difficult for children: the paintings are too high, why they are here - it is not clear. At this exhibition, everything will be exactly the opposite: the main ones here are children. To get acquainted with the work, you need to climb the stairs, duck down, slide down the hill or look into the closet, so that children and adults have the opportunity to see the work of cult artists outside the framework of schools and concepts. Only masterpieces will be presented in this playful form: from Malevich and Bacon to Abramovich and Kiefer.

Cities on fish and other everyday surrealism

Surrealism is easy to love, and everyone seems to still love it, and Erik Johansson effectively uses this love. First, he comes up with a strange picture-collage, then he searches (sometimes for years) for a suitable nature, takes all the photographs himself, and then glues the frames together to a highly realistic state. Sheep wool becomes clouds in his world, the traffic controller turns day into night, and the science of sleep comes to life in his photographs. In addition to photoshop at the “god” level, Eric Johansson is fond of street illusions - he draws 3D drawings in public spaces that deceive passers-by.
