An exhibition that is not considered because everything is very bad

The exhibition was held in the lobby of the Yunost Hotel of the former Komsomol Central Committee from May 27 to June 17, 1989 ^[1] . The organizer was Avdey Ter-Oganyan with the support of the Humanitarian Fund in the person of Leonid Zhukov and A. Sobolev ^[1] . The name “An exhibition that is not considered because everything is very bad” appeared after the exhibition, emphasizing the attitude of the project participants to the mistakes of the organizers ^[2] .

At this exhibition, Avdey Ter-Oganyan and the entire Rostov fraternity became acquainted with Anatoly Osmolovsky , who made the performance of the “Poet's Public House” at the opening of the exhibition ^[3] .

The exhibition is not considered because everything is very bad.

The humiliation of your human dignity will begin immediately from the entrance, when the doorman blocks your way. Then you pass by the hairdresser and the toilet and, finally, get into the hall.

Zhukov, a goat, having failed for six months, could not have come up with anything better than to trust the first comer, a rogue, Mikhal Mikhalych, who tore off three thousand from him for covering a room with cheap paper and making four coffins. And we beg for a daily allowance like alms! And all this is called an "art salon" !!! The very location of the hall is offensive to art. It is squeezed into the nook between the restaurant and cafe. We will not talk about drunken hara, abusive abuse of cooks and cooks, vulgar kabatsky music, indecent kind of girls. It is enough that waiters with trays constantly scurry right through the exhibition hall, carry mountains of dirty dishes. When we offered to drive around the exhibition hall, they answered us: “How do we drive through the restaurant, people eat there!” Through the restaurant, it means that it’s impossible, but through the TEMPLE of ART, then you can ?!

And such an attitude is always. Andrey Sobolev. Woodpecker? Woodpecker! He imagines himself to be a director, a pout walks - don’t come! I hired two fools stuffed so that I don’t do a fig myself, and those, following the example of the boss, don’t do a fig either, sit with important faces. But in the end, an art salon for artists or artists for an art salon ?! However, you can write for a long time, better come, you will see for yourself.

• “As our pre-first serious speech, the idea was to open the poet’s brothel.” At the Yunost Hotel, we organized a public performance of this house, where, in addition to us, the Poetry Club and poets from the Nativity group were invited. There we met the artist Avdey Ter-Oganyan . He and his Rostov friends in the hotel lobby made a large exhibition of their works and organized a performance on the stage: a man in a frame was pulled out there, tied to her hands, and a person was sold in this form at an auction to anyone from the audience. This very strongly excited the audience in a negative sense: the audience started shouting: “This is not art! What do you palm off on us ?! How is this to sell a person? ”Then this negative intonation began to develop - the poet Shapkin left the group“ Vertep ”, who wrote futuristic texts with obscene words, and he read them with such frenzy that it electrified the audience even more. The club “Poetry” with its manners in this situation refused to speak at all, and we had to save the situation - me and Pimenov . We saved the situation because we began to read verses such as “Forest” and “One, Two, Three.” However, in general, this venture ended in failure: the idea of ​​uniting all the literary forces on this stage was covered with a copper basin ” ^[3] - Anatoly Osmolovsky , 2014 .
