Gerry in Moscow May 27-28, 2010?

The woman organzing the show Maria Baibakova



MOSCOW— In the latest phase of the ongoing evolution of Moscow's contemporary-art scene, the Baibakov Art Projects is moving from its home in the Red October Chocolate Factory to a more capacious space nearby on the banks of the Paveletskaya River. With 13,000 square feet available for exhibitions, public sculpture courtyards, a lecture hall, and a rooftop boasting panoramic views, the new location provides the kind of bells and whistles that take it beyond the bare requirements of a kunsthalle to become a more serious art destination.

Founded in 2008, the art center is the ambitious pet project of Maria Baibakova, the 24-year-old daughter of mining magnate Oleg Baibakov. But while she is frequently lumped together with fellow art heiress Dasha Zhukova — a comparison she bristles at, as in this interview with Art + Auction's Sarah Douglas — she has managed to launch an aggressive, Western-art-heavy program that over a scant two years has exhibited work by Luc Tuymans, Paul Pfeiffer, Sterling Ruby, Kelley Walker, and Matthew Brannon. To inaugurate the new expanded art space on May 27, Baibakova will present "Perpetual Battles," a show organized by Kate Sutton together with Baibakova and Jean-Max Colard that includes such international, politically-engaged artists as Cyprien Gaillard, Saadane Afif, and Adel Abdessemed.

In a statement, Baibakova said, "Baibakov art projects is invested in creating a dialogue between the past and future of Russia and, with our involvement, this former House of Culture at Paveletskaya will become one of Moscow's magnetic culture destinations for locals and the international community.”

Interesting, I have enough magazines at home to make something similiar, the media IS the message you know

The appearance of the eminent actor was a pleasant surprise for all who visited the exhibition: it is not clear that the more interested in reviews - their own work or is it Gerard Butler? Whatever it was, the exhibition provided many thought-provoking - the good, the theme stated by the serious and urgent.

And photos of various other folks that showed up, no one we know. I am sure more people would have gone to the opening if they had known he was going to be there.

He looks much better in this picture than the first one that came out. He looked verra tired in that one.

Am I the only one having "Shattered" flashbacks? Looks a little like Neil Randall, doesn't he?

Anyway, I still like a little stubble, even though I am not opposed to the occasional nekkid chin. I love Gerry no matter what he looks like...
