The film tells about the life, philosophy and impact on society of Marcel Duchamp - one of the most influential modernists of the early 20th century, a Dadaist and surrealist, the creator of the infamous "Fountain" - a urinal with the artist's autograph. Against the backdrop of historical events, Duchamp is revealed to us as a man who, together with Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse, reformed European art.

About the exhibition:
Qualia
Sergey Shutov's solo exhibition "Qualia" at the GUM-Red-Line gallery displays 35 paintings made over the past five years. Most of them were prepared specifically for the exhibition.

"Qualia" is a philosophical term that denotes a subjective emotional experience associated with sensations. The sensations may be the same, but perception always colors them individually. Sergei Shutov claims that art is associated with qualia. For more than 40 years he has been developing his own system of images.
