Moscow hosts exhibition titled «National Gene Test. Quotations»
An exhibition titled «National Gene Test. Quotations» opened yesterday in Moscow. That's the third project within the frameworks of «One Sixth Plus» program, Alexander Kalugin, Head of Interstate Fund for Humanitarian Cooperation, reported to PanARMENIAN.Net.

Exhibition displays photographs and films by artists from Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Ukraine. Armenia is represented by director Mariam Ohanyan and a photograph from Delusional Insanity.

The event aims at introducing the distinguishing features and formal peculiarities of national schools, based on separate examples embodied by spatial and temporal images.

«A man born in the north will differ from an inhabitant of south. From early childhood, they see a different kind of landscape and sunshine and hear conversation in different languages. They don't even have identical blood temperature. All that contributes to the formation of views which a person sticks to all his life regardless the place of his residence,» exhibition manager Oleg Arnautov said.

The project is a curatorial research into the problems of human perception on post-Soviet area and the tendencies of territorial demarcation based on ethnic background.
