In early 2010, as part of the Year of Russia and France 2010, held under the auspices of both the President of the French Republic and the President of the Russian Federation, the Cultural Foundation "EKATERINA" welcomes on its premises an exhibition of a French artist Jean-Marc Bustamante.
Jean-Marc Bustamante has become a leader of the so-called "figurative photography" [photographie plasticienne] trend, that has caused a revolution in art over the last two decades. Since 1978, Bustamante has been offering his photography to the audience as a very specific form of painting. He was one of those to start a leading trend of the contemporary art: since the exhibitions in Vancouver and Dusseldorf, followed by those in New York and Paris, photography has once and for all established itself as belonging to the high art, with the borderline between the two areas eliminated forever. Some of the artists exploiting this trend (as, for example, Andreas Gursky, whose exhibition took place in the Foundation in 2008) continued to work with photography, giving it priority above all other expressive means. Others, as Jean-Marc Bustamante, however, broadened the horizons of their artistic search by involving sculpture and painting.
Jean-Marc Bustamante is also well-known by his conceptual installations, where he manages to create a unique mélange of ornamental design and architectural space, both mingled with his exclusive technique of painting on plexiglas.
In Moscow the artist will present an exhibition that represents his creative evolution to the full extent, including both photography dating back to late 1970-s and his most recent paintings on plexiglas.
Thus, the Moscow project can, actually, be considered as Bustamante's first retrospective exhibition.
The exposition is envisaged as a "total installation" (when the artist himself is both a supervisor and an author of the exhibition), demonstrating various aspects of Jean-Marc's creative achievements. Due to its chronological structure and the crossing of various motives, names, colors and materials, the exhibition will give the audience a unique chance to feel and reconstruct the relations between photography, sculpture, and painting.

Simone Nieweg is a photographer of gardens and landscapes. Her work, as it has manifested itself over the past thirty years, knows no other interest. At the same time, a certain serenity hovers over her pictures. In them, nature seems entirely focused on itself. One immediately notices that human beings are absent. The allure of colors and shapes...

Also we can recall British film «The Wicker Man» (1973) with its ritual procession of the man-beasts, ho...
