"Yesterday, today, always..."

Вчера, сегодня, всегда

The exhibition ‘Yesterday, Today, Always’, which offers the viewer a collision of different worldviews, biographies, and experiences, is not just a summing up of results and a sketch of future experiments. It is another experiment of the Alina Pinskaya Gallery, supported by the belief that the quality of art does not depend on the language it speaks.

On April 26th, Alina Pinsky Gallery opened an exhibition titled 'Yesterday, Today, Always' in celebration of the gallery's fifth anniversary.
The anniversary exhibition features works by artists from several generations, including non-conformist artists whose unique styles were shaped within the confines of a closed socio-cultural environment, as well as new works by young artists whose professional development began in an era of multiculturalism, internationalism, and a free art market. The exhibition, organized within the confines of the 'white cube' space, offers viewers the opportunity to trace not only the continuity of artistic traditions and ideas over the past fifty years but also their organic coexistence within a single cultural field.
The works of Igor Сhelkovski, Mikhail Chernishov, Francisco Infante, Vladimir Andreenkov, Tim Parshikov, Evgeny Musalevsky, Duni Zakharova, and Igor Skaletsky are showcased alongside works from the gallery's collection, featuring artists like Rimma Zanevskaya, Serge Sharshun, Claude Belgard, Edgar Zhille, and others.

Soviet non-conformism of various directions is represented by works from Igor Chelkovski, Mikhail Chernyshov, Francisco Infante, Nonna Goryunova, Rimma Zanevskaya, and Vladimir Andreenkov. These artists have long been considered classics of Soviet unofficial art in the second half of the 20th century, and their works are held in the collections of the Tretyakov Gallery, the Russian Museum, the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, the Museum of Modern Art, the Ludwig Foundation in Vienna, the Pompidou Center in Paris, the Zimmerli Museum in New Jersey, and other renowned institutions worldwide. What unites them all is their enthusiasm for the ideas of the avant-garde and an analytical approach to constructing compositions on the canvas.
The catalogue has been published for the exhibition with an introductory article by Irina Gorlova, an art historian, curator, and director of the Department of Contemporary Trends at the State Tretyakov Gallery, and a specialist in gender studies. It contains illustrations of all the works presented at the exhibition, biographies of the artists, and photos of the gallery's exhibitions.
