David Sarkisyan, the Director of MUAR and his private office.

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

Things can speak. The private office of the director of the Schusev State Museum of Architecture is turned by it’s current owner, David Sarkisyan, into one long,long story. Dozens of photographs, postcards, old posters, sculptures and artefacts occupies almost all free space. The impression is overwhelming!

This is the sample of object where spherecal canorama beats all other media. Just look!

Вещи могут говорить. Кабинет Давида Саркисяна, директора Музея Архитектуры имени Щусева, усилиями его владельца превращён в одну долгую, долгую историю, почти сагу. Десятки фотографий, открыток, старых постеров и скульптур занимают почти всё доступное место. Впечатление просто ошеломительно! Отсюда не хочется уходить.

Прекрасный пример сюжета, справиться с которым способна только сферическая панорама. Просто смотрите.

Wooden Churches – an exibition of photographs

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

Wooden Churches
Travelling in the Russian North 100 years after Bilibin
Photographs by Richard Davies. The official site of the project

With the support of the British Council, Foster + Partners and Future Systems

Quotation from the announce at the site of Schusev Museum “…We hope that the photographs in this exhibition will help raise public awareness of the plight of these wonderful buildings and that more restoration projects will attract the funding they deserve. During our travels, the story of the hardships of the last century has been unavoidably felt – a story of Revolution, War, Communism and severe Northern winters. The photographs also tell of the lives of resilient people who have lived through extreme times in extreme places – a story of the Russian North.”

The exibition is organized in the location belonging to the Schusev Museum Of Architecture

Из анонса на сайте МУАРа: “…Мы надеемся, что фотографии нашей выставки обратят внимание общественности к катастрофическому состоянию, в котором находятся эти прекрасные здания, и что они привлекут новые источники финансирования проектов по реставрации деревянных церквей. Во время наших поездок мы постоянно наблюдали наследие нелёгкой истории прошедшего столетия: истории революции, войны и коммунизма в краю жестоких северных морозов. Фотографии рассказывают и о стойких людях, сумевших выжить в крайне трудную эпоху, в экстремальных условиях существования. Это история Русского Северa.”

Сходите на выставку, не пожалеете. Выставка должна была закрыться 30 января, но её снова продлили.

No, it is not Moscow! 🙂
This is small trade street in Egypt, in Luxor. I have been there almost a year ago – in the first days of March, 2007.

Moscow: Epiphany in the waters of Meschersky pond

Friday, February 8th, 2008

It is an old Russian tradition – in the day of Epiphany to dip in the ice cold waters of lake or river, in the cross-shaped ice-hole.
All precautions were taken: the paramedics were ready, diver wearing dry neoprene suite standing near the ice-hole – none of them came into play.
