Alexander Pozin and Marina Spivak. "Kolomyazhskaya Utopia"

Alexander Pozin and Marina Spivak are Leningrad and St. Petersburg sculptors. Both studied at the sculpture department of LHU of V. A Serova and are members of the St. Petersburg Union of Artists and the creative association "Lakes Village of Artists." Alexander Pozin uses wood to make his sculptures, literally thinks and lives by him, works like a friend, unobtrusively introduces color into wooden compositions, cuts and breaks forms. Marina Spivak creates reliefs on the verge of sculpture and painting, transforms finished pieces of furniture, fills them with new content, combining them with her own sculptures from plaster. The exhibition at MISP is based on a comparison of two artists: if, over the years, with the invariance of the semantic essence of the work, the manner of their execution changes significantly, then the lyrical heroes of Spivak continue to live in a formed style, whether it be sculpture or fabric collages.

The plot basis of the works of Pozin and Spivak is associated with personal and family experiences, impressions, emotional outbursts. The name of the exhibition “Kolomyazhskaya Utopia” came from the film of the daughter of artists Inna Pozina, also presented in the exposition, about a house without people, about an unattainable place for creativity that exists in the imagination.

The museum will present more than fifty works: sculptures, objects, installations, collages - in which artists reflect on the ideal, desired, but so far unattainable.
