Theatrical interactive, master class, and quest: Vitebsk to celebrate the 136th anniversary of Chagall's birth
Подарок музею презентуют в 12.00 в Арт-центре Марка Шагала. Его 12 июня прислали внучки мастера Мерет и Белла Мейер. Груз включает более 60 редких книжных изданий из личной библиотеки художника из его последнего дома в Сен-Поль-де-Вансе недалеко от Ниццы на Лазурном берегу Франции. Здесь и оригинальные графические листы Шагала. Как отметили в учреждении, поскольку графика имеет свою специфику (она не может находиться под ультрафиолетовым излучением более трех месяцев в год), то, как и вся остальная коллекция учреждения, эти листы будут включать в экспозиции лишь на время.
"Мы с начала года вели переговоры с наследницами художника. Последний раз его внучки преподносили дар Витебску и музею почти 25 лет назад - в 1999 году. Этот дар мы как раз представим в день рождения художника, и он останется в экспозиции в Арт-центре на период "Славянского базара", а затем уйдет в фонды для обработки и оформления специальных документов. После обработки будет использоваться в экспозиционно-выставочной деятельности музея", - сказала Ирина Воронова.
Книги станут частью научной библиотеки музея Марка Шагала, которая насчитывает сейчас более 5 тыс. изданий. Некоторые подарочные экземпляры будут экспонировать на временных выставках. Кроме того, все они будут доступны для работы исследователей, как и другие издания из этой библиотеки.
Остальные события, приуроченные к 136-летию со дня рождения мастера, примет Дом-музей Марка Шагала. В 17.00 участники праздника встретятся у памятника художнику в начале улицы Покровской, чтобы возложить цветы или по иудейской - камешки. Затем гости переместятся в сад дома-музея, где их ожидает театрально-музыкальный интерактив от ансамбля "Наша песня" и любительского театра "Менора" - его артисты представят постановку "Одесский дворик" по пьесе Евгения Клемята.
A theatrical and musical interactive event, a master class on item painting, a quest, and a presentation of over 60 rare book editions – a gift from the artist's heiresses – will take place in Vitebsk on July 7, on the 136th anniversary of Marc Chagall's birth, reported Irina Voronova, director of the Marc Chagall Museum in Vitebsk.The gift to the museum will be presented at 12:00 PM at the Marc Chagall Art Center. It was sent on June 12 by the master's granddaughters, Meret and Bella Meyer. The shipment includes over 60 rare book editions from the artist's personal library from his last home in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, near Nice on the French Riviera. It also includes original graphic sheets by Chagall. As noted by the institution, due to the specific nature of graphics (they cannot be exposed to ultraviolet radiation for more than three months a year), these sheets, like the rest of the institution's collection, will only be included in exhibitions temporarily.
"We have been negotiating with the artist's heiresses since the beginning of the year. The last time his granddaughters presented a gift to Vitebsk and the museum was almost 25 years ago, in 1999. We will present this gift on the artist's birthday, and it will remain on display at the Art Center during the "Slavianski Bazaar" festival, and then will be transferred to the archives for processing and preparation of special documents. After processing, it will be used in the museum's exhibition activities," said Irina Voronova.
The books will become part of the scientific library of the Marc Chagall Museum, which currently holds over 5,000 publications. Some of the gifted copies will be exhibited at temporary exhibitions. Additionally, all of them will be available for researchers to study, along with other publications from this library.
Other events dedicated to the 136th anniversary of the master's birth will be hosted by the Marc Chagall House-Museum. At 5:00 PM, participants of the celebration will gather at the monument to the artist at the beginning of Pokrovskaya Street to lay flowers or, according to Jewish tradition, pebbles. Then, guests will move to the garden of the House-Museum, where a theatrical and musical interactive event awaits them, performed by the ensemble "Nasha Pesnya" and the amateur theater "Menora" – its artists will present the production "Odessa Courtyard" based on the play by Yevgeny Klemyat.
"Since this year is not an anniversary, we are celebrating it as a family: those who feel it is necessary to congratulate the artist on his birthday will come," noted Irina Voronova. - We have been cooperating with the Vitebsk Jewish community for several years, and now they have also supported us. This year there will be a small theatrical performance and musicians, a vocal ensemble from the Jewish community. This year, the literary club "LitKofeinyk" is also supporting us with a program of poems about Vitebsk, the artist himself, and his muse Bella. There will also be a master class by Marina Yakovleva (Karmán) on painting hearts and a quest based on our exhibition."
On the artist's birthday, both the House-Museum and the Marc Chagall Art Center in Vitebsk will welcome guests for free.
