    | | | Created for the support of Petersburg artists (both participation in the exhibitions and entrance are free), in the course of time the Gallery became a rather prestigious spot for organization of exhibitions both of domestic and foreign artists. We believe that in the situation when there are few exhibition spaces in the city and a great scale of creative ideas, aesthetic concepts and artistic practices, the main actual task is to present as many artists as possible independent on genre and technology. Exhibitions in the Borey Gallery are in the non-stop regime. It is a basic principle of the Gallery to support beginning artists and creators (the first exhibition, the first book, the first article). Absence of aesthetic snobbery and restraints in the interests of a special group of artists. Accessibility and openness.

The theme of the forbidden art exhibition is to allow each artist to choose a story or a special, unusual case that usually wouldn't be worthy of exposure or just by being exhibited in a gallery, would break down the boundaries and limitations of publicity and coverage of any kind. Forbidden art by definition deals with provocative, dramatic, unknown and unpredictable topics. The concept of the exhibition legitimately allows the use of symbols, allegories, codes, etc.
The participating artists belong to Israel's middle generation. Most are well known, professional artists who exhibit in museums and renowned galleries in Israel and worldwide. A varied list of painters, sculptors, photographers and printers was chosen and having their work shown under one roof allows a unique peek into the creative world in Israel. The fact that large format paintings were selected and that they are being sent folded to the gallery immediately creates the need to deal with works on a unconventional scale, suitable for a museum where exhibiting them on the walls will be a special attraction. |

"THE PASSER-BY: ALMOST A LANDSCAPE"
Photography
In the halls of the gallery
|  |  |  | | | | | Eli Perelman (born in1968 in Riga)
Lives in Jerusalem, has been photographing Petersburg since 2005. "The passer-by: almost a landscape" is the exhibition of photos by Eli Perelman, an Israeli who has been photographing Petersburg since 2005. The exhibition is based on the synthesis of photos of the city and texts (fragments from poems by I. Brodsky). The combination of emotional and unexpected foreshortenings of Petersburg landscape and lines by Brodsky pulled out from context on purpose result in an attempt to create a universal mood. |
