The museum is like a big playground
Once upon a time, Pushkinsky came up with the idea of launching a series of photographs about the museum through children's eyes. If adults feel lost at exhibitions, then children have a very hard time: the paintings are too high, it is not clear why they are here. At this exhibition, everything will be exactly the opposite: the main ones here are children. To get acquainted with the works you need to climb a ladder, crouch down, slide down a slide or look into a closet, so children and adults have the opportunity to see the work of iconic artists outside the framework of schools and concepts. Only masterpieces will be presented in this playful form: from Malevich and Bacon to Abramovich and Kiefer.

Cities on fish and other everyday surrealism
Surrealism is easy to love, and everyone still seems to love it, and Erik Johansson uses this love effectively. First he comes up with a strange collage picture, then he searches (sometimes for years) suitable nature, takes all the photographs himself, and then stitches the frames together to a highly realistic state. The wool of sheep in his world becomes clouds, the traffic controller turns day into night - the science of sleep in his photographs comes to life to the fullest. In addition to God-level Photoshop, Erik Johansson is interested in street illusions - he draws 3D drawings in public spaces that deceive passers-by.
