At the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, you can see the performance Exhibit B by artist Brett Bailey from South Africa. It is already known that the project will start on October 10 and will be in the Russian capital for four days. Information about this is contained in the official press release of the museum.
Previously, this performance was supposed to take place at the Barbican Gallery in London. But this did not happen, as the activists considered the show racist and blocked the entrance to the Barbican gallery.
Bailey's project is a reconstruction of the slave market from the time of the colonial conquests. The participants of the performance are dark-skinned actors in muzzles and chains, imprisoned and shackled. Brett Bailey emphasizes that in his work he sought to show the cruelty of people and push the viewer to think about relationships in the modern world of representatives of different races.
The Exhibit series is an expandable cycle based on the colonial history of European countries. The first work in the series was the performance Exhibit A, which was shown in Helsinki, Braunschweig, Vienna and Grahamstown. Exhibit B's work was presented in 2012 in Berlin and Brussels, and in 2013 in Paris, Amsterdam, Wroclaw, Strasbourg and Ghent.
The duration of the performance is 20 minutes. Each section is designed for 25 spectators.
