a Few months of downtime the cultural venues are worried, actively leveraging online resources. But life begins to return to normal. Museums and galleries quietly opened to the public, re-introducing suspended projects and presenting new. Some of them were reflection on the events of recent months.

Museums and galleries had the opportunity to open their doors to the public from 16 June. But not in an order – those who thought it necessary to move the hour goes on and offline to better prepare their space to the new rules (masks, gloves, distance), got the opportunity.

the Main Moscow museums has decided to postpone the return: the Tretyakov gallery is going to open up July 3, and the Pushkin Museum – 10th. But many art spaces have earned immediately (or almost immediately) after the abolition of restrictive measures. Among the exhibitions that can be seen izgledala for offline art public, can highlight three areas – the quarantine (reflection on the pandemic and isolation, the current created in this period works), military (on the occasion of the anniversary of the Victory) and pending (projects that run over, or prepared prior to the epidemic, but not in time to open for obvious reasons). We will focus on the Essentials – true quarantine.

“state of Emergency”. exhibition in the gallery “Triumph” is not only observation-the experience of the pandemic, but also trying to predict scenarios of a possible future.

the Exhibition consists of five sections. The first of these “Anti / Structure” becomes the illustration of the effects that events such as pandemic, have on everyday life and society. The second is “orientation in space” – mental pressure on the material model. “Now” is the diaries, where the authors try to catch and capture the moment.

the Next Chapter is called “Borderline syndrome” is devoted to the search output, which occurs through the immersion into the world of phantasms and visions. The fourth section – “Truth and fiction” is an attempt to know how it all began and imagine what’s over – the artists offer their own scenarios for the future. And finally, the final Chapter – “Your screen time is up” – is the work about digital culture and its emotional and social aspects. Group project in which took part such stars of contemporary art, AES+F, the Recycle Group, Alexander Brodsky, Alice Joffe, was one of the first answers in the world of art to the pandemic. All the memes and examples of time subtly inscribed in the works of artists.

in Total, the project involved 50 authors. The exhibition is open until July 18.

“Moscow. The great void” – exhibition of Pulitzer prize-Sergey Ponomarev shows the capital at the time.jamii. This is a photo chronicle of the insulation period, composed of 45 black-and-white panoramic pictures of Moscow. Before us is a documentary history that is designed to save in the memory of the contemporaries and future generations an unprecedented situation. “For me, this is a truly unique project. During my career I have seen many wars and conflicts and natural disasters and cataclysms, but did not expect that I will remove one of the greatest events of the XXI century – the pandemic coronavirus – at home in Moscow”, – says Sergey Ponomarev.

the Exhibition in the White hall of the Museum of Moscow will last until August 23.

Cage – “labaratory” project of the state Darwin Museum, conceived long before the pandemic virus will certainly reflect the situation. The exhibition, which through the all-Russian competition took 44 participants from 170 applications, the young artists had just quarantined.

“Cage” only at first glance is devoted to the unit of structure of all living organisms, although the question of biology here, of course, also be affected. The audience, for example, will get a chance to independently perform the DNA analysis. But – according to the authors – this “dungeon of the human soul”, “the shackles of social norms and stereotypes.” Man is composed of biological cells, and his identity – social (beliefs, beliefs, all the conscious and subconscious that we have). Therefore, the work of the participants of the project will be not just a study group, and total installation – a unified whole of many components of human nature. The exhibition will run until September 20.

This, of course, only the beginning. While in the museums and galleries of little people. First, for obvious reasons – virus still walks in Russia. Secondly, the summer heat, after months of isolation people want to walk. And only the rare visitors are looking for privacy in the exhibition halls. But the situation in museums now more than ever contributes to a calm understanding of life is only momentary and the eternal.
