Dmitry Vrubel & Victoria Timofeeva. New Testament Project
2nd floor, halls 22 - 27
«The works of Dmitry Vrubel and Victoria Timofeeva illustrate beautifully this structure of modern faith. The illustrations that he uses register for the most part dark, horrible, or, at the very least, unhappy facts of reality. And yet at the same time, the work as a whole has an air of truly evangelical optimism about it. The bad, when it becomes news, becomes good. On this paradox of faith — faith in the Gospel and faith in modern media — all of modern conscience is based. Vrubel and Timofeeva’s work brings this paradox of modern faith out with great precision. And in general, Vrubel and Timofeeva belong to those artists who can, as they say, hit the mark. This is once more affirmed by his Gospel series». Boris Groys
Organized by EXPO-PARK Exhibition projects, 1996-2010
