Exhibition of Artists of Art Prospect Residency, named "Gidjavar"

“One has to love pedestrians. Pedestrians make up the biggest part of mankind. And on top of that: its best part. Pedestrians created the world….. One has to notice that the car was also invented by pedestrians. However, drivers immediately forgot this. They began to crush meek and wise pedestrians. The streets, created by pedestrians, came under the control of the drivers. Carriageways became twice as wide, sidewalks narrowed to the size of a tobacco wrapper. Pedestrians began to press themselves frightened against the walls of houses.”
Ilf and Petrov “The Golden Calf” , 1931.

Works of contemporary artists Oleksander Ieltsyn (Ukraine) and Koka Vashakidze (Georgia) , who are currently doing an art residence in Baku, will focus on the topic of how art can address the issues of pedestrians.

Opening of the ceremony will take place at 19:00 on June 1.
