According to the organizers of the competition, they were “interested in any manifestation of creativity: from the extraordinary design of coniferous trees to witty and non-trivial transformations of traditional Christmas trees.” That is why the only condition of the competition was formulated as follows: “The Christmas tree must be presented as an art object and contain an expressive conceptual idea.”

Another wish of the organizers to the participants was the resistance of the art objects to any vagaries of the Moscow winter - the trees should not only be spectacular, but also stand until January 14 “without damage to their appearance" The main criteria for evaluating the competition entries were the innovativeness of the idea, the originality of the composition, the level of artistic and technical execution and the variety of materials used.

For his Flower of Life composition, Funkel used the steel from which the trunk of the Christmas tree is made, and glass balls filled with liquid, reminiscent of traditional Christmas decorations. According to the author, “the light spots that are formed from the glow of the Christmas tree, intersecting with each other, form a pattern, the graphics of which resemble the image of the “flower of life.”

Olga Arazheva used plastic for the Aero-Yolka project: her “tree” is an illuminated large-diameter corrugated pipe that wraps around a metal pole. According to the author, this design symbolizes “a spiral of ascending air flow and creates a directed movement of the Earth’s energy into outer space.” This installation also has an important practical meaning: such a tree can serve as an original lamp both indoors and outdoors.

Elena Vinogradova and Marina Bakhireva created the “Christmas Tree Book,” which is lightweight and environmentally friendly, the “pages” of which are made of plywood and can be read by both children and adults - each of them will find interesting information for themselves on this tree. And Olesya Livanova and Timur Gritsan dedicated their installation to the symbol of the coming year - the dragon. They named their tree “Dragon Tree”, and its twisting steel trunk really looks like both a mythological animal and a spruce.

Nastasya Bezrukova and Nikita Sysoev came up with a composition called “Anatomy of a Christmas Miracle.” This is an attempt to understand the secret of the charm and attractiveness of the New Year's tree - it is made up of boxes and pencil cases different shapes, each of which contains some kind of “secret” and is illuminated from the inside. “Having gotten rid of the shell, we have the opportunity to see the naked form (skeleton) and, in particles (boxes), Christmas motifs materialized,” the authors themselves write in the annotation to their work.

Karolina Khatkevich also disassembled the image of the Christmas tree into its components. In her opinion, the main thing in a New Year's tree is illumination, so the “Eco-Christmas Tree” invented by this artist is a rack of wooden shelves, shaped like a spruce, on each of which candles, lanterns, and all kinds of lamps are placed.

And Larisa Talis and the Archduet company decided that the most important thing in a Christmas tree is the decorations, and it was the Christmas ball that was made the main thing actor your installation. A giant red ball covered in glitter is decorated with many tiny Christmas trees growing from it as if from globe.

One of the most memorable installations of the exhibition, perhaps, was the work of Daria Kalita and Diana Arslanova, drawing attention to the inadmissibility of mass cutting down of fir trees before the New Year. Right on the asphalt, the artists depicted the silhouette of a spruce tree with chalk, and next to it there was a road sign, as if saying that fir trees once grew here...

The PR department of the organizing company also spoke out against the mass destruction of conifers - the installation “Sacrifice” is a spruce tree suspended upside down, which is decorated with mourning black balls. The authors specifically emphasize that during the creation of this art object, “not a single spruce tree was harmed.”

Well, the most romantic object of the show, of course, was the art project “Return” by DirectDesign, which makes us remember that New Year– this is the time of transition. In the sky above Red October, the authors hung several snow-white fir trees soaring on wings (some look like angels, others with their outlines more reminiscent of dragons). According to the authors, these are “the “souls” of the cut down New Year trees that have returned to the holiday. Their snow-white wings, frozen in their flapping, emphasize the “crystal purity of the festive moment.”

The exhibition of unusual New Year trees will last at Red October until January 14. And the winners of the competition will be determined this week – December 23.

Before the New Year, the capital was again decorated with fluffy Christmas trees, bright art objects, dozens of meters of garlands, sparkling installations.

At any time, even the darkest time of the day, you can walk along the illuminated streets and alleys, looking at three-dimensional light figures: Santa Claus, angels, bears, Christmas tree balls, etc.

Art objects of the Journey to Christmas festival

Moscow sparkles with festive lights and New Year's art objects and on another occasion: until January 31, the annual festival “Journey to Christmas” is taking place in the capital.

The festival grounds traditionally feature unusual installations, Christmas markets, street shows and concerts, exciting master classes and competitions.

"Sunrise" in Gorky Park

The Voskhod skating rink in Gorky Park stands out among its metropolitan counterparts with its bright, extraordinary design. This season the ice rink is once again sparkling with thousands of lights.

The design of the skating rink this season is dedicated to the events of the first half of the 20th century: space, flight and the pursuit of a dream. The main elements in the design of the skating rink and pavilions are a star, a planet, a satellite.

Skating rink at VDNKh

The skating rink at VDNKh stretches along the Central Alley - from the Central Pavilion to the Agriculture Pavilion. From a bird's eye view, the ice rink's outline resembles a magical golden key.

Lovers of romance can take a ride along the “Alley of Lovers” around the “Stone Flower” fountain. Along the central alley of the skating rink there is a large-scale artistic composition - a fabulous field of glowing fir trees, snowdrops, cornflowers and forget-me-nots.

In the evening the skating rink lights turn on. The fences and pedestrian wooden bridge are also illuminated, from which a beautiful view opens.

The country's main exhibition has been transformed for the New Year. In place of lawns and flower beds, luminous flowers appeared, shimmering with all the colors of the rainbow, dandelion lamps grow on both sides of the Central Pavilion, and a field of fireflies flickers on Industry Square.

Immediately at the entrance to the exhibition, guests will be greeted by the “Alley of Magic”, consisting of nine luminous openwork arches. After walking along it, you can get to the “Central” pavilion and see the unusual festive installation “Christmas Time”. This is a luminous arch with columns almost 19 meters high. It almost completely follows the outline of the main entrance arch. The composition is crowned with a clock with a dial and a snowflake pendulum. The “Christmas Time” clock is not a fake clock, and, indeed, accurately counts the hours and minutes.

GUM Fair and GUM Skating Rink on Red Square

Until February 29, the Christmas GUM Fair with carousels, attractions, hawkers, buffoons and mummers is open on Red Square. Located nearby.

Conceptual trees do not at all resemble traditional coniferous trees. These are installations created from a variety of materials. And like true art objects, they require additional explanation. After all, there is the “Flower of Life” and “Dragon Tree”, “Axe Tree” and “Individual Doomsday Tree-Bunker”, “Antenna Tree” and “Yo-Christmas Tree”. There are images for which annotations are written in verse, and there are art objects without a name.

Exhibition "Christmas tree as an art object"

In Moscow, on the territory of the Red October factory, the exhibition “Christmas tree as an art object” was held. The competition participants were faced with the task of creating an original New Year's tree that could become a work of modern art.
The winner of the competition was chosen as a result of voting by a star jury - the installation “Return”. Based on the results of online voting, “Anatomy of a Christmas Miracle” by Nastasya Bezrukova and Nikita Sysoev won in the “Most Popular Christmas Tree” category.
Art objects were also awarded in the following categories: the most non-Christmas tree - the “Doomsday Bunker” project, the most New Year tree - the project “A Christmas tree without balls, like a ball without Christmas trees”, the most high-tech tree - the project “Christmas tree-antenna”, the project “ Tree of Happiness."
Due to the fact that “Red October” is not only the center of cultural, but also social life of the capital, the organizers established a special prize - “The Most Secular Christmas Tree”, in which “MainYolka” from MainPeople won.
