The British Museum of Everything opened its fifth exhibition in St. Petersburg on August 16, 2012. This is the only traveling museum in the world that collects and exhibits paintings by unrecognized and unknown artists.
The museum travels to different countries and cities and provides an opportunity for all those who know how to draw, express themselves. The exhibition in St. Petersburg demonstrates the canvases of artists who have not exhibited their work before, as well as self-taught artists and masters of alternative painting.
The Museum of Everything invites unknown Russian artists who have not received special education, including self-taught, to collaborate. The works of all those who create in alternative, non-traditional and naive genres, casual artists, and visionary masters are accepted.
The exhibition in St. Petersburg will feature the works of artists who have discovered their skills already at an advanced age, homeless artists, disabled artists, and creative people in churches, hospitals and prisons.
The museum also exhibits anonymous works, works of artists that have already died, artists who work in the style of outsider art or arbrut. Museum organizers believe that none of the artists can be an outsider, and it does not matter what social position they occupy and what exactly they draw.
Before St. Petersburg, the museum has already visited Kazan, Yekaterinburg, Nizhny Novgorod. In the near future he will come to Moscow and will be accommodated in the Gorky Park.
Founded the Museum of Everything by James Brett in 2009, with the goal of helping to promote outsider art. His collection is represented by the works of unknown artists and self-taught artists of the year before last, past and present centuries. Exhibitions with expositions from the Museum of Everything have already been watched by about 300 thousand people from different parts of the world.
The museum exhibits not only paintings, but also sculptures and photographs of installations. The Museum of Everything has its own official website, where you can familiarize yourself in detail with all issues relating to the work of the museum, organization of exhibitions, reception of works. In addition, the site has interesting blogs - museum travel diaries in different countries with photographs of expositions and not only them.
