'Take A Walk On The Wild Side' is intended – with a view to the increase of homophobic and racist attacks unfortunately not just in Russia – to take a stance: against political paternalism, censorship, and the suppression of artistic work, against homophobia and racism. The aim is not, however, to present an exhibition of political art. Rather, the gallerist/curator is interested in existential decisions of people who risk a 'walk on the wild side' and thus risk being socially ostracized, declared outlaws or indeed risk their lives.  We asked the invited artists for works that circle around sex, love, androgyny, around Eros and death, around ecstasy and the Dionysian, the transgression of borders and conventions, around nudity and the human body, and the other in the self.  The sudden death of Lou Reed on October 27th 2013 is yet another – tragic – aspect of our exhibition. We dedicate the group show to this extraordinary artist.
