legendary Yuri Nikulin Cir-cus: performances of jug-glers, acrobats, stunt, col-ourful costumes, magical transformation and incom-parable magic of the circus.

A pavilion in the evening mood rink will play saxo-phone maestro Nick Ferra.

In the winter season 2014-15, in the Hermitage Garden traditionally will be open 2 skating rinks: with artificial and natural ice. This year the rink will be decorated in the style yarnbombing.

The so-called “knit graffi-ti” - a fashionable trend in European cities, and now in Russia too.

www.intermarkrelocation.ru Moscow Digest 0706 Moscow Digest www.intermarkrelocation.ru

Yarnbomb-ing HistoryThe practice is believed to have originated in the U.S. with Texas knitters trying to find a creative way to use their leftover and unfinished knitting projects, but it has since spread worldwide.

The start of this move-ment has been attributed to Magda Sayeg, 37, from Houston, who says she first got the idea in 2005 when she covered the door han-dle of her boutique with a custom-made cozy.

Houston artist Bill Dav-enport was creating and exhibiting crochet-covered objects in Houston in the 1990s, and the Houston Press stated that “Bill Dav-enport could be called the grand old man of Houston crocheted sculpture”.

Artist Shanon Schollian was knitting stump cozies in 2002 for clear cuts in Ore-gon. The Knit Knot Tree by the Jafagirls in Yellow Springs, Ohio gained international attention in 2008.

The movement moved on from simple “cozies” with the innovation of the “stitched story”.

The concept has been at-tributed to Lauren O’Farrell

(who creates her street art under the graffiti knitting name Deadly Knitshade), from London, UK, who founded the city’s first graf-fiti knitting collective Knit the City.

The “stitched story con-cept” uses handmade amigurumi creatures, char-acters and items to tell a narrative or show a theme.

This was first recorded with the Knit the City collective’s “Web of Woe” installation in August 2009.

The Knit the City collective were also the first to use O’Farrell’s term “yarnstorm-ing” to describe their graffiti knitting, as an alternative to the more popular term “yarnbombing”.

Yarn bombing’s popularity has spread throughout the world.

In Oklahoma City the Col-lected Thread store yarn bombed the Plaza District of the city on 9 Septem-ber 2011 to celebrate their three-year anniversary as a functioning shop and in Australia a group called the Twilight Taggers refer to themselves as “fibre art-ists”.Joann Matvichuk of Lethbridge, Alberta founded International Yarnbombing Day, which was first ob-served on 11 June 2011.
