Ivy Theatre
Exhibition 10 November 2021 − 10 April 2022
The Moscow Museum of Modern Art in cooperation with the pop/off/art gallery presents the first retrospective exhibition of Ivan Plyusch "Ivy Theatre."the book, which covers the last fourteen years of the work of one of the most brilliant artists of the post-Soviet generation.
The exhibition includes more than 50 works from Russian and foreign private collections. Some works will be seen by the audience for the first time. Paintings, sculptures and installations from different years transformed the exhibition space of the museum into an artist's theater.
The name "Ivy Theater" suggested by the author himself, most accurately expresses the nature of his artistic practice - his paintings and installations, gaining more and more scope, often acquire theatrical appearance and transform the space of any exhibition in the same way as the scenery complements the theater scene. The exhibition includes 9 halls connected to each other both chronologically and conceptually. The viewer is presented with key series of the artist's works, such as: "Sculptures," "Red Balls," "Between Dream and Nightmare," reconstructions of installations "A Play Without Actors. Thesis 52", "The Immortality Mechanism" and many other important works, thanks to which Ivan Plyusch became a significant figure of the Russian and foreign art scene.
Prepared according to the materials of the official website Moscow Museum of Modern Art.
