the curator of the project SRC WINERY “START” season 2017/2018 Faith Trachtenberg:

 

“the Term “Ho-art” appeared in the beginning 2000-ies in St. Petersburg as an expression of the traditional conflict between Moscow intellectual conceptualism, and brutal street art. Representatives of this trend have formulated the language of ‘guys from the suburbs" in reality, post-modernism, giving your work simple and understandable narrative. The main speculative idea of the Russian GOP-art is the appeal to authenticity of real life, denying reflection — literally “what you see, draw”. Art community cut off list called "discursive fence” from what it considers to be contrary to the term “contemporary art”, often refuses to accept the art of margins, since the latter does not take this community seriously”.
