Yesterday, April 27, the Narva artist Maria Sambuco almost completed her next mural. Since the fall of last year, she drew him on the building of the Narva Motomuzey. It remains to make the last strokes – draw the seagulls.
Last summer, thanks to the support of the Fair Transition, the Motonurk Museum repaired the facade of his building and announced a competition to create an art object on one of its walls. The topic gave great scope for fantasy – “retrote technology in the era of climatic neutrality”, that is, technology in 2050.
As Vladimir Losev, a co -founder of the museum, told the Narva newspaper, three Narva work participated in the competition – there are not so many. In his opinion, artists may have scared the volume of work and difficult, albeit interesting, themes.
The winner of the competition was the work of Maria Sambuko. In a conversation with the Narva Gazeta, she admitted that she had long dreamed of drawing old Narva, so participation in the project was especially attractive to her. However, participating in the competition, she thought that the scale of the ant is smaller: the wall was quite voluminous and she did not have time to finish work in the fall.
“I worked from masking forests on an unstable surface, but the museum’s owners did everything to work safely,” the artist shared.
“It was also interesting for me because I learned a lot about motorcycles, which I had not understood at all,” Maria smiles. – Constantly communicated with the owners of the museum, real fans of her business. They showed me a retro equipment, talked about it, including that motorcycle that I portrayed. ”
On the new mural, the past connects with the future: a motorcycle with a red -bearded biker and a dog flies over the old city. In the distance you can see windmills – a symbol of pure energy.
One of the long -standing desires of the artist, like many Narvites, is the restoration of old Narva. Maria hopes that in the future it will at least partially come true.
According to the idea she embodied, in 2050, retro -potentials will be environmentally friendly, without exhausts, and they will move through the air on the wings. In order to convey the appearance of the city as accurately as possible, Maria used postcards and photographs that the historian and Narva guide Alexander Openko shared with her.
“I hope that the audience will not strictly check the accuracy of the location of the houses,” says Sambuko. “In old photographs, a lot was incomprehensible.”
The opening of the mural will take place in Night of museumsMay 17. Motonurk will work all day – from 12:00 to 23:00. The theme of this year, as you know, is “Books in the Night”. Therefore, the Museum on Westervali, 17a invites everyone to a cozy reading corner, where you can get acquainted with technical literature – from old books, of which restorers draw knowledge to restore retrote technology, to modern publications about the history of transport.
The program also declared: an exhibition of retrote technology, which has already registered participants from Narva, Tallinn, Pyarn, Yykhvi and Tartu, free excursions, a fair of ancient things and handmade products. After the opening of the Mural will be presented by Mati Laos’s book “The History of Retrotechnology of Estonia 1918–1975”, and in the evening visitors to Motomuzey are waiting for a concert.
