Many years ago my journal began with entries dedicated to joining the Union of Artists. I was young and naive and weighed down by a bunch of little kids. We need to do something so as not to sour! Let everyone get it right, how awesome I am! I filled out a completely insane Soviet questionnaire, which asked whether I was under occupation and whether I participated in the partisan movement, took the rugs on which I weaved some pictures - a fish, a still life, abstract beautiful colors resembling a forest, and drove off. I was told that the rugs are bad, they will buy better at IKEA. With doormats in the Union of Artists are not accepted. And if I want to make woven images, I have to unlearn to be a tapestry maker and weave tapestries. I spat, decided that I was not going to weave tapestries, and in general it is not clear why I decided to join there.
It seems to me that the format and adherence to it is the motto of this organization. One step to the right, one step to the left - the shooting on the spot. This format was formed in the late seventies. It reminds me of a community of old southern aristocrats who gather for forty years in a row at the house of some Colonel Dupont, smoke cigars and remember the old days. On the street there is already another era, another century, different conditions ... neither they, nor their memories, nor their cigars are interesting to anyone. And if I were in their place, I would pay extra to people who agree to play this with them. and they manage not to accept someone else.
This time I followed the path of conformism. For three years I exhibited together with our city youth team, was in the asset. I was tolerated, despite not quite the statutory age. Therefore, I decided that, as an honest person, I must marry them.
This year the youth team decided to join with almost a full complement. They took away my works with sauce that everyone likes, and a few watercolors.

And at the appointed time, I first went to the section. After all, I enter the schedule, at first we looked at the schedules. The building is pretentious, in the center of Moscow. The long corridor is crowded with a bunch of artists from different cities. By the way, there are chairs! So man-pleasing got there too ..


A list hangs on the wall, and everyone is called in turn to the room where the commission is sitting. You arrange your work, at this time the secretary reads from your personal file where you studied and what major exhibitions you have, and you leave.


We have to wait to see everyone. The lady secretary (this is her moment of glory. And she has been working there for 50 years) invites everyone to a separate room. Everyone huddles in the corners, she announces the results of the commission's vote.


Today was the second day, the secretariat. I met there a friend from Kostroma. The train arrives at 6 in the morning, and she sat there in the corridor until two and waited. There were many different cities. I also wanted to go to the exhibition of photographs on the Russian estate, and during a break I went there on foot. Not long on the map. Suddenly I found myself on Maroseyka. Then I got to Red Square - and immediately turned back, because the time was up.
I was not accepted unanimously, eight to six. So even when I indulge in conformism, I still don't get into the format completely :) When I laid out my works there, at first I argued with a lady who read that my education is an institute of culture. And last time they clung to it tightly. A real artist must have an education - Surikovsky. Well, or Stroganovsky. Even from the former Leninist pedagogue of hudgrafists, they accept without enthusiasm, they can even wrap up. And here, in general, some kind of institute of culture. I had to explain that in fact my education is a blunder, it's pretty cool. At the end of this conversation, there was a call to my phone.
My husband bought it for me the day before, angry that my phone is often discharged and I sometimes do not hear calls. It is the size of a handbag and rings like a Jericho trumpet. And now I am arranging the work, and he will ring the bell! This child called to report that he had come from school. The members of the commission, including the completely deaf and asleep, were pressed against the wall by a sound wave :)

And then I went to see a friend who works in a club on Maroseyka, and we drank beer and made a sketch for memory :) while I was doing it, I thought - only a couple of hours in the union of artists, but drawing became much worse :) Now there is only a certificate get it, and I'll be a fool licensed, with help
