Belyi

Garcia Zarate’s attorneys, J. Tony Serra and Maria Belyi, said in a court filing Tuesday that his federal prosecution is an attempt to punish him for his acquittal in state court.

An exhibition reflecting the experiences of Peter Belyi and Petr Shvetsov, two artists who encountered the collapse of the Soviet empire as youths.

Belyi says he is by nature drawn to the “romance” of ruins and broken-down things.

“Memorial Modeling” features sculptural installations by two contemporary Russian artists: Peter Belyi and Petr Shvetsov.

Their work shares a theme of destruction, with Belyi’s “Red Meteorite” evoking a building that has been devastated by a hurtling chunk of space debris and Shvetsov’s “Fragile Balance” evoking the collapse of a large concrete structure.
