Probably the most daring, bold and anti-pop Russian music star, Sergei Shnurov a.k.a. Shnur, disappointed his fans last year when he disbanded Leningrad – the band he fronted and with which he was primarily associated with. Soon, however, he presented to the public his new project, Rubl. Rubl’s music turned out to be rough guitar rock and hardcore with lyrics full of foul language (common for Shnur) and social satire.

The star of the upcoming Free Fat Party, German deejay Stephan Bodzin took an interest in music early in life.

After moving to Bremen, Bodzin also got involved into experimental theater scene and even composed soundtracks for several plays. However, playing stylish music – a mix of tech house, minimal, techno and acid – remained his main interest.

Yevhen Petrov’s watercolor paintings from the “Soldiers, Animals, Children” resemble scenes from an action movie, set in some exotic land with palms, elephants, monkeys and pandas. The exotic stands side by side with household animals and children. In his works, Petrov clashes children’s innocence with death and violence, though he does so in an ironic way. In fact, irony and infantilism were already visible in one of his previous projects, in which he brutally ridiculed the style of a famous Ukrainian female artist famous for painting angelic toy-like children. The animal theme, on the other hand, prevailed in his other exhibition, “Aquapark.”
Tsekh (69 Frunze). Through July 4.
