RURIC: Opening of the exhibition at the former Ministry of Home Affairs residence

   Opening of the exhibition at the former Ministry of Home Affairs residence

January  24, 2013 the  retrospective  posthumous  exhibition of the contemporary
abstract artist Alexey Chistyakov opened.

About  150 works by one  of the most  prolific artists joined  under the project
"Archive"  have settled on first floor of the former Ministry of Home Affairs of
Russian Empire. This building was empty for the last few years.

Every visitor came to the venue at dusk and saw animated windows of the majestic
building  designed by Carlo Rossi. Projection  patterns followed one another and
invited to visit the artist's exhibition, died too early.

At  the entrance every visitor could find the information about the exhibition's
facilitators  - Ruric  and Al  Gallery, -  and a  memorable exposition  with the
artist's portrait. From the left and the right are the vaulted corridors, turned
into  an unusual gallery for a  month. January 24 around 150 people of different
ages  gathered  to  honor  the  memory  of  the  artist  and to admire his works
collected in the same place for the first time.

Large  paintings executed  in the  best traditions  of an abstract art perfectly
complied with the building with its plastered walls and spotlighting.

"This amazing exhibition is held upon the initiative and with the global support
of  Ruric.  Our  company  has  already  proved  itself  as a caregiver of Saint-
Petersburg's cultural and historical heritage, - says Vyacheslav Balabaev, Ruric
Management  CEO. - Hope this building adapted to  the modern use will be able to
live  at the fullest very soon. We invite  you to visit the exhibition and enjoy
the works of art by such a talented painter yet passed away too early!"
