The City as a Graphic. Nizhny Novgorod on maps and engravings from the 16th-20th centuries
Exhibition July 14 − November 7, 2021
State Center for Contemporary Art "Arsenal" holds an exhibition "The City as a Graphic. Nizhny Novgorod on maps and engravings from the 16th-20th centuries".
The exposition is based on more than a hundred prints from the collection of Vyacheslav Khurtin, the founder and director of the Technical Museum in Nizhny Novgorod. He collected engravings and maps for fifteen years, and working printing presses, presented here, are a part of his extensive collection of antique equipment. The gallery of images of our city is complemented by graphics from the collection of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts and works by contemporary artists - Alexander Konstantinov, Andrey Olenev, Jean-François Pietropaoli, Katya Gushchina, Pavel Rybakov, Sergey Firer and the "Fruit" art group.
For the first time in a single exhibition project, images of Nizhny Novgorod and the Fair, as well as works of cartographic art, are collected in such a volume, which allows to trace the trajectory of development - from a small fortress city to an industrial giant - and understand the place of Nizhny Novgorod region in the history of the country and the world.
Prepared according to the materials of the website SCCI Arsenal.
