Exhibition "The New Russian Landscape" at the First Biennale of Modern Art in Yaroslavl

Abstract

From September 18 to October 10, 2021 the city of Yaroslavl will host the First Biennale of Modern Art organized on the initiative of the Research and Organizing Department for Coordination of Programs of Fundamental Researchers of the Russian Academy of Arts (RAA) under the support of the RAA Presidium. The theme of the First Biennale of Modern Art - the New Russian Landscape - has been not chosen by chance. Yaroslavl is a city with its own history of fine arts. First of all, these are magnificent fresco ensembles, collections of icons and applied art. In the shade of this powerful layer of the cultural heritage lies Yaroslavl painting of the 20th - 21st centuries having its identical features and school. The principal goal of the organizers is to showcase this unique phenomenon in the context of contemporary art on the basis of the city's capabilities.
