The invitation text announces the exhibition for the 29th of August, 2000. This is a misprint: Pictures taken at the exhibition show that it actually took place a month earlier, on the 29th of July, 2000. However, this misleading piece of information didn’t throw off visitors, since in St. Petersburg, news about an exhibition spread by word of mouth.

На выставке представлены «контрольки» с уникальных фотографий художественной жизни независимой культуры Ленинграда 80-х годов. Широкий зритель впервые сможет увидеть снимки Евгения Козлова из его коллекции, которая сейчас находится в Берлине.

Евгений Козлов - один из ведущих художников группы «Новые художники»,организованной в 1982 году. Данные фотографии послужили ему материалом для создания многочисленных живописных и графических произведений, часть которых находится в Русском музее. Фотографии запечатлели художественную жизнь ленинградского андepгpayндa и eго легендарных героев: rpуппу «Новые художники», группу «Кино» «Поп-механику», «Новых композиторы», Бориса Гребенщикова, группу «Колибри», Мамышева-Монро, Наташу Длинную, «Некрореaлистов» и многих других.

The exhibition presents contact prints produced from outstanding photographs of Leningrad’s independent art-scene of the 1980s. It is for the first time that the audience will have the opportunity to see Evgenij Kozlov’s pictures – his collection is now in Berlin.

Evgenij Kozov was one of the leading artists of the “New Artists” group, founded in 1982. His photographs served him as the basis for a large number of paintings and graphic works, part of which are now in the collection of the Russian Museum. These pictures document the artistic life of the Leningrad underground and its legendary heroes: “The New Artists”, the “Kino” band, “Pop-Mekhanika”, “New Composers”, Boris Grebenshikov, the “Kolibri” band, Mamyshev-Monroe, Natasha Dlinnaya, the “Necrorealists”, and many others.
