The 14th episode of the online project "AZ Adrenaline" acquaints viewers with the AZ Museum projects in Ivanovo, organized with the festival "The First Avant-guard Factory". 

Last fall, in the Ivanovo Art Museum the first joint exhibition called "The Two Avant-guards?! Rhymes" was held. The exhibition included striking works of avant-guard of the 1910s–1920s, taken from the Ivanovo Art Museum collection. The exhibit also presented influential artworks of the Unofficial Art movement of the 2nd half of the 20th century — more than 30 pieces of the "Soviet Renaissance" period from the collection of our Museum. 

The second project called "On the Threshold of Paradise" is an exhibition of one of the most poetic and multifaceted artists of contemporary times — Tatyana Chernova. Paintings and tapestries presented in the Ivanovo Museum and exhibition center, merge the classical traditions (Renaissance and Baroque painting) with sensitive emotional experiences of today. Tatyana Chernova’s artistic method resembles the ‘’Old Masters’’: she weaves one rug for months, or creates a multi-meter painting with meticulous brushstrokes. At the same time, all Chernova’s works are imbued with the spirit of the new century.
