“supreMADIsm” museum moscow (rus) <<<

Homage to the masters of Russian Constructivism
International art festival and exhibition series
Moscow, May 10 to June 22, 2006


Between May 10 and June 22, 2006,
the International Mobile MADI Museum Foundation,
based in Hungary, organizes“supreMADIsm”:
Homage to the masters of Russian Constructivism,
an international art festival and related exhibitions in Moscow.
The history of geometric art spanned the entire 20th century,
beginning with early suprematism and continuing through MADI,
the contemporary geometric art movement
that manifested itself 60 years ago and is actively present even today.

The supreMADIsm Festival leads the fully matured and almost classicized geometrical tendencies (Suprematism, Neo-Plasticism, Russian Constructivism, Art Concret, Kinetism, and MADI) back to their common cradle, Moscow.
In addition to paying homage to the masters of Constructivism, the festival will chiefly aim further to enhance cultural exchange contacts, with special regard to the invitation extended to Russian creative artists to contribute to the public collection of the Hungarian Mobile MADI Museum. They will also be expected to join the international MADI movement, which commemorates the 60th anniversary of its inauguration in 2006.
“… memory alone is in the position to make the meaning and depth of a happening manifest to us, for we need a certain point of view and certain distancing in order to decipher the message intended for us.” (P. Henri Boulad)
Through homage and commemoration, PAST finds its way into the heart of the PRESENT today – while the cells of the FUTURE stem from the present. The  “supreMADIsm” art festival intends to encourage this intellectual process, record it, and make it part of art history in Moscow.
