Галерея "На Уютной" Одеса, Украіна 1991-2000

The events of this year were very diverse. Many interesting people visited the gallery. Sometimes several huge tourist buses at once brought foreign tourists to our narrow street.. I remember an incident during one of these visits, the lights in the gallery went out - the fuses blew. Many visitors, Americans, immediately ran out into the street. And others, as if nothing had happened, continued to look at the exhibits of the gallery. And one lady - if you looked at her from behind - you might think that she was a teenager, but in fact a very old woman, tried to dress up in Turkmen robes, and in two at once, although one of them was worn, according to tradition, on the head. The stories about our toilet are interesting, as it should be in all semi-basements, it was located on a hill so that the sewage system could work - it looks just like a "throne", a throne in the basement! I always joked when I needed to show someone the toilet due to a need - "You can't imagine w...

Yes, it is interesting to talk about this too. How much the fact that I am an artist helped me in my work with the gallery. Where all the issues for the rest of the inhabitants of our country had to be resolved with bribes, I managed to resolve them thanks to the products of my creative activity, that is, paintings! The gallery was not very advantageously located, and only by standing on your head could you attract attention to it.It was too expensive to give official advertising to the press. So, I paid with my own paintings. Advertising and Modigliani I remember one very interesting story. It has already happened in the Marine Gallery of the Odesa port. Among the visitors, I met an old acquaintance. We got to talking. We talked about painting, and exhibitions, and I said that my favorite artist is Amedeo Modigliani. Having learned the story of Nadia Leger, who lived in the Russian hinterland, who learned that such a wonderful artist as Fernand Leger lived in Paris, went there and soo...

Gallery "Na Uyutnoy" and the Musical Comedy Theatre. The gallery's location in the cozy Otrada district did not encourage active visits, and we had to literally "stand on our ears" to attract the public. Thus, I came up with the idea of ​​​​becoming closer friends with the Musical Comedy Theatre. And already in the summer of 1992, we began to actively cooperate with them. We were allowed to make an exhibition in the foyer of the theater before the start of the performances, there we could also hand out our modest advertising - small and very simple booklets with the address and phone number of the gallery. The work was titanic since the exposition could hang for only a few hours, and then everything had to be dismantled and taken to the gallery. Many people think that the work of a gallery owner is something that does not constitute much difficulty, but this is not true. Everything is very difficult, and the most disgusting thing in all this is the attitude of t...

The art situation in Odesa. 1992 It is also interesting to tell what was happening in the city at that time. Many new galleries opened and even though they have now sunk into oblivion, I think it is worth mentioning them. I remember how Uta once said that it is possible to start talking about a gallery as such only after 3 years have passed. And what happens: 1992. We are trying to make an excursion in time.  The month of March is spring. Two galleries are located on Langeronovskaya: the salon "Two S" and the gallery "Yug", the affairs of the salon were already uncertain at that time, and the gallery "Yug" tried to be part of the information center. But visitors complain about the closed doors and the lack of a doorbell. A magnificent place near the Inter Salon "Red Square" - right in the hotel Krasnaya, until recently, the most popular place among artists. During the plant's operation, the entire artistic community of the city gathered here ...

History of the gallery "Na Uyutnoy" OPHOK- Art Factory http://binovskaya.com/gallery-first-trip-abroad/ Almost all the artists who exhibited their works on Uyutnoy were graduates of OGHU, and many also worked at OPHOK. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, and with it our factory, many artists finally began to do what God gave them, free creativity. Many of them have creative biographies that began in the early nineties. At that time, we - free, having escaped from the control of the state, were left to ourselves. How to achieve success, how to become popular, how to live—all these questions can only be resolved by time. Working in the gallery, and organizing exhibitions, I always understood that all this is history, and my task is to convey it. Unfortunately, at that time there were no computers, and there was no experience, therefore, much has not survived. Since then, Radu and I have been trying to restore what is still possible, and if there are any discrepancies in the...

Exhibition at the museum on Korolenko. Odesa, 1992 Beginning of 1992. https://youtu.be/9vDvFgEqKG E We were preparing for an exhibition at the Art Gallery on Korolenko Street. Preparation for the large-scale exhibition "Made in Odessa" at the museum on Korolenko was very serious. It was important for us to declare ourselves first of all. I cannot help but note the excellent qualities of the organizer-curator of the exhibition Boris Lukin. We ordered a film made by V. Maliarenko and Victoria Maliarenko. At the time, Victoria Maliarenko, now Uta Kilter, was one of the most famous art critics in Odesa. I am pleased that Uta began her career in the gallery "On Uyutnoy." On January 17, the exhibition "Made in Odessa" opened in the premises of the Russian Art Museum. " Art in English means art, and "studio" in Latin means I study. If we substitute the difficult-to-translate word "business" in the name instead of a hyphen, then we will pr...

Буклет до выставки у Польши Friends of the gallery "Na Uyutnoy" Beginning of 1992. Odesa. There were many guests in the gallery and many of those who came at that time remained my friends for many years. Young aspiring businessmen, Artur and Eduard Balzhik and Dmitry Yanushkevich appeared for the first time. They came with Ruslan Bimbas, whom I had known since living in Pirogovskaya street. They came up with a proposal to organize an exhibition in Poland. Ruslan was to become the curator of this exhibition. It was scary for us to give the paintings to people we did not know at that time, so we agreed with them that they would buy some of the paintings for the exhibition, and we would provide the rest. Around the same time, I met Galina Vladimirovna Blazhievskaya, then the head of the Oberon enterprise. At that time, Galya was an extraordinary, very determined, and businesslike lady, and she decided to take part in the exhibition together with the young businessmen. She, like ...
