The inflatable Snowman, installed by Media Plan LLC, explains its appearance: “What a summer this is!”. Ruslan Grigoryan and the “Art House” gallery offered Irkutsk residents their version of aliens. On one of the lawns, clay figurines created by students of the East Siberian State Academy of Education were placed: mushrooms, cats, seashells, and others.Irkutsk resident Stanislav Tikhonenko “turned” an ordinary 200-kilogram iron barrel into a huge can of condensed milk, on which it says: “Sweet life to Irkutsk residents!” A huge “Gift” was presented to the city’s residents by the company “Almaz.” The advertising agency “Favorit” made its move by installing the sculpture “Horse” on the lawn.
