From April 7 to 9, Tishinka TVC will host the traditional exhibition of dolls and Teddy bears Moscow Fair 2017. Once again, artists from all over Russia, as well as from Europe and Japan, will come together to show Muscovites the best that has appeared in the world of dolls and bears per year.
What is Moscow Fair exhibition
Moscow Fair 2017 is a unique brand in the world of Teddy dolls and bears, a legendary exhibition that has been held in Moscow for almost 11 years. The exposition gathers a record - by world standards - the number of works, more than 50,000 bears and dolls, as well as more than 500 authors, and 3 museums will immediately exhibit their private collections of doll rarities. What artists will surprise us this year?
One of the most striking projects of the exhibition is an exposition of dolls made in the Russian style. Fragile and thin young ladies feminine and almost elegantly dressed by the artist in sundresses and other traditional elements of the Russian costume, where even bast shoes - and what would a folk costume be without them? - look like an elegant final point of the image. The look and facial expressions endow each doll with its own character and its own story, it seems that in a second the beauty will come to life and straighten a strand of red hair that has come out from under the headscarf.
In addition to modern works, at the Moscow Fair 2017 exhibition, you can get acquainted with real puppet rarities. The Blueberry Bear Museum will tell you about the evolution of style and fashion in dolls' outfits and Teddy bear costumes and show elements of doll clothes from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Guests will be able to follow how fashion has changed over the course of two centuries: here are handmade lace of the 18th century, and strict vest suits of the late 19th century. It will also be possible to see how vintage wardrobes were made - the museum will exhibit a thematic miniature with bears-designers engaged in tailoring.
The theme of the history of the costume, but in the context of the USSR, will be continued by the Teddy Bear Museum - a pioneer bear going to a children's camp with a characteristic suitcase, a sailor bear who goes to serve in the seas, and other bears of the Soviet era will come to the exhibition from the happy Soviet past.
Unique exposition
The museum will feature a very rare mechanical bear, which was discontinued almost immediately after the start of production. The reason for this was the complex mechanical design of the eyes, which made the bear itself a fragile and impractical toy. For thrill-seekers, the head of the bear opens, so that the mechanism can be seen in all details. And for guests who prefer more peaceful leisure, there will be an interactive bear-puppet theater that tells about Theodore Roosevelt and the history of the appearance of the Teddy Bear, anyone can become part of the troupe and control the doll.
You can see moving bears and dolls at the stand of the Toy Museum, which, as part of the Moscow Fair, exhibits the author's collection of mechanical toys. Almost all items in the collection were produced in Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Some of the dolls demonstrate an elegant gait and the ability to coquettishly raise their hands up, someone coquettishly closes their eyes, and some even stir the tea on their own and sing deliciously. You can see with your own eyes how the toys come to life at certain hours of the exhibition, when a museum representative will wind them up. The museum will also present a collection of equipment - from cowboys driving a horse on a ranch to German railway trains of the 19th century.
The central place in the Moscow Fair exposition is occupied by a personal exhibition of the artist Dima PZh, who is currently the most famous puppet master in Russia. Dmitry works in his own, authorial genre, which he defines as “a doll without a doll”, it is thanks to this artistic paradox that his works are widely recognized on almost all continents, and they can be found in private collections in the USA, Switzerland, Japan and many other countries . Dmitry has repeatedly become a laureate of the most prestigious international puppet competitions. His works are not just an artistic object, but a situation that develops into a monospectral - an action that is frozen in front of us and at the same time continues. The artist's exposition will be presented by the Vakhtanov Puppet Gallery by Irina Myzina.
You can get into the fabulous world of dolls and bears at the Moscow Fair 2017 exhibition from April 7 to 9, at Tishinka TVC. Come to dolls and Teddy bears with the whole family!
Biography of Teddy Bear!
The Teddy Bear was born thanks to the generosity of the 26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt. Having somehow decided to hunt, Roosevelt came across an unfortunate bear cub tied to a tree in the forest (this is how his entourage took care of the president's successful hunt). Roosevelt untied the frightened bear and released it into the forest. The hunt failed, but journalists gave this story the widest publicity. Sharp-witted Americans made a toy in the form of a sad bear cub, which became the symbol and talisman of Roosevelt, and received the name of the president - Teddy.
Over the past decades, Teddy has become one of the most popular collectible toys in the world.

| Simple rules of life from Svetlana PchelnikovaI believe that it is necessary to believe in a dream and go for it, to be a result-oriented professional in your favorite business. I am sure that every person should love and protect his family, parents, Motherland, and mercifully not forget about those who need help. I never give up, and I never put off solving a problem - because, unresolved, it will become more significant over time. I live in Love for life, I look at the world broadly, at the key moments of choice I trust my intuition. I bravely face obstacles and often find myself capable of things that I never expected from myself. |

Exhibition and sale of author's dolls and Toys on Tishinka "Royal Tree"
During the New Year holidays - from January 3 to January 12, 2020 - in Moscow at the T-Module exhibition complex on Tishinka, everyone will have an additional meeting with the already beloved exhibition of designer dolls and designer toys. This time, its organizer Svetlana Pchelnikova will present a special winter project "Tsarskaya Yolka".
With the Tsarskaya Yolka special project, S. Pchelnikova continues her large-scale project “Recreating the collection of dolls and toys of the children of the imperial family”, which she started back in 2010 on the eve of the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the Tsarskoye Selo Museum-Reserve. Wars, revolutions and the struggle against everything bourgeois throughout almost the entire first half of the 20th century did not spare the collection from the legendary playroom of the children of the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II. In particular, many items were distributed to orphanages and shelters, where their traces were completely lost.
For more than 20 years, Svetlana Pchelnikova has been collecting “royal dolls” bit by bit, having traveled half the world, visiting hundreds of “flea markets” and antique shops. At the same time, work was carried out to reconstruct the collection and recreate authentic dolls and toys by the best puppet masters and restorers, and copies were made from famous memorial museum objects - dolls and toys that are in the collections of existing museums. There were consultations with fabric specialists, connoisseurs and collectors of objects of that time. The features of making toys of the late XIX - early XX centuries were studied. All this taken together made it possible to recreate the "royal dolls" with maximum accuracy.
An interesting fact: Nicholas II brought his children from trips not just ready-made toys, but bought parts from which the children themselves had to make dolls and toys for themselves. So, the four royal daughters, under the supervision of their mother, Empress Alexandra, learned simple manual labor - they themselves sewed outfits for their dolls, and also knew how to build doll houses.
More than 100 puppeteers from all over Russia will present their works at the Tsarskaya Yolka Christmas exhibition. To replenish your collection of author's dolls on the eve of Christmas and the Old New Year - what could be better?!
Pleasant and profitable purchases at the exhibition can be combined with good deeds. There will be master classes where visitors can learn everything about making dolls with their own hands. The money will go to the Rodom iz Detstva charity foundation. On January 4, a friendly meeting with Swiss cosmonaut Franco De Winne will take place.
Here is another puppet exhibition "Spring Puppet Ball on Tishinka" 2017 behind. I can say that my impressions of this exhibition are mixed. At some point, I caught myself thinking that I didn’t want to take pictures. Why? Don't know.
There are not very many photos this year, but there is something to show. I will not comment on everything, only those works about which I have something to say. My view and my opinion on the "Spring Puppet Ball on Tishinka 2017". So let's go.
I would like to say something about this. Dolls, which we often see in photographs on the Internet, look completely different in real life. And not always the doll is better alive than in the photo. Sometimes it's the other way around. Good lighting, retouching and other merit of photographers make some works much more beautiful than they are in reality. So go to! The real world is different from a moment captured in a photograph. This is exactly what happened with the doll in the next photo. I saw this doll in the photo. I was enchanted. But at the exhibition I liked it much less.
This year I broke my tradition and did not start my story with Mikhail Zaikov's dolls)). But I have his dolls in the photo.
Many dolls are presented in different techniques, dolls made of wood, baked plastic, self-hardening plastic, textiles, porcelain and much more.
Incredible snail. Anyone who knows Sponge Bob's snail will understand that Gerry is far from this snail)))).
I don’t really like textile dolls in stocking technique, but the characters of this author are something incredibly funny, causing only positive emotions. And the stand itself, in my opinion, is decorated very well, nothing superfluous.
A lot of teddy bears and other soft animals. There is just such a cuteness, you won’t look without a smile))).
And there are very interesting, incomprehensible, funny characters, by which it is not always possible to understand what it is or who it is. But, nevertheless, it adds even more charm to some of them.
The exhibition of dolls presents works of different levels of skill and in contrast it does not always look advantageous. That is, amateur dolls of masters who have just begun their journey, next to dolls that are made by professionals in their field, are lost, to say the least, they just look ridiculous. That is, in my opinion, this is an ill-conceived moment in the concept of the doll exhibition itself and its space. I don't recall that at an exhibition of paintings, for example, by a professional artist or photographer, drawings of children from art school hung nearby. But as they say, this is just my personal opinion, shaking the air so to speak.
There were no antique dolls. But there was even one. It is a pity that the doll is not combed and groomed, but it is quite in good condition.
A few photos of the hall, exhibition places and the bustle that reigns in the air.
On this, for those who want to leave a positive impression of the exhibition of dolls on Tishinka, my review is over. Thank you for visiting.)
And for those who do not have problems with the perception of a different vision of the picture of the world and creativity, who are not limited by the framework of public opinion and do not adhere to generally accepted norms, I propose to continue viewing.
This is a completely different look at the art of the doll, non-standard, sometimes shocking, sometimes disgusting. But if you look at these works not through the prism of your perception clogged with social norms, but simply with a clean look, then a completely different picture is visible. By the way, the authors of these works also look very extravagant. Not everyone can express themselves so freely in life and work, fearing the consequences and condemnation from others.
And the last work, which I would like to say and show, is a composition called "The Essence". Actually there is nothing to talk about, if you look closely at the photos, you can understand what the author wanted to say.
That's actually all I wanted to show. This is how I saw the “Spring Ball of Dolls on Tishinka”. There are many works at the doll exhibition, the level of performance is completely different. According to the work, it is clear what is "sick" at the moment most of the puppet masters. Magic three letters BJD. For those who are not in the subject, this is a articulated doll. I am sure I could not see everything, because at some stands there was just a “porridge” of everything, which there was no desire to rake with my eyes. But you need to go to puppet shows. For a creative person, such events are useful and give not only an emotional charge, but sometimes new acquaintances.
Did I get something from the exhibition "Spring Puppet Ball on Tishinka"? Yes! Finally ripe for participation in the exhibition of dolls. I am writing about this on the site officially, so as not to jump off and look for more reasons not to do this.
