In Venice there was this slogan that said "I won't make boring art"...boring art? Does that happen? Can be boring for one, special for other...tastes differ as they say...In any case with contemporary art becoming more and more popular for many those who try to see or comprehend meaning hidden behind all! pieces of art things became more complicated...artists refuse to explain or explanations are even more confusing...I deal with this from the standpoint "I like it, I love it"...or "I don't really like it...I hate it"...often reading explanations do help and then I like going back and looking at piece again...Teymur says that his art speaks for itself...he doesn't like talking anyway...therefore prefers to exhibit his pieces and hopes that they would do the talking for him...or...his spouse :) In his exhibition "...yesterday, today, tomorrow..." that we opened on December 3 in State Art Museum in Baku and that will last until 31 December he presented to audience 20 sculptures, one interactive sculpture, two graphics and video art...I will post here couple of pictures (hope to update the website soon where we will have all pieces)...if you are in Baku take a break and visit the exhibition since venue, space, light, atmosphere all play a role...take children too so that they see that different grown-ups are engaged with different things and that they can also explore and find passion of their own...
Exhibition is open until 31 December...Baku, Azerbaijan...State Art Museum...11 Niyazi street...

Openings are always crowded...ideally its good to socialize at the opening and then find time to come back and have time of your own with exhibits...
