Full title: «Caliningrad Munich. A museum of new mythology.» While museums argue that the more important thing in museums is an object or concept, because of the tacit prohibition of «historical materialism» concepts there are very one-sided concepts, and objects serve only to illustrate them, or as a non-binding addition to symbolic art objects. It seems that only kings, merchants, and dinosaurs lived in Russia, who thought for themselves the good of the country, until they were prevented from abroad and the rest of the population, who suddenly ceased to sow, mow and sing folk songs in embroidered shirts. The apothesis of historical volontarianism is the Museum of New Chronology in Lower Novgorod, which claims that the Kulikov battle did not really happen under Toula, but in the center of Moscow on the Kulici. This is supported by domestic pseudo-historic series, where the right interpretations are no longer dependent on museum exhibits and expertise. Shabourov’s artist and his teammates in the Blue Nose group Misin and Ivanov decided to capture firsthand the cavardack in the heads of the compatriots, the victims of the EEG and the Internet memes, and created a project for a parody museum of new mythology. The exhibition collected all the most diverse historical myths (Ivan Grozny kills his son, Peter I builds Petersburg on the bones, and Lenin takes money for the revolution from Wilhelm II) and long-lost counterfeits (Cisson’s documents, Dolles' Plan, etc.). A dozen new ones have been added, which, of course, are fictional and are designed to motivate the viewer to think critically, as well as to distinguish fairies from facts. All of this was taken and installed as a key at the Kaliningrad Museum of the Soviet House of Whitboy, organized by Sasha and Natasha Bychenko, in just four days. Learn, you lunatics!
