Dreamers was a solo exhibition by Soviet and Russian artist, graphic artist, jeweler, and sculptor Vladimir Kordiukov (1953–2009), presented at COLLEZIONE Art Gallery in Novosibirsk from 11 September to 26 October 2025.

The figures in Kordiukov's paintings are absorbed in their own inner worlds. Their quiet poses and thoughtful expressions suggest a moment of pause, when everyday life gives way to reflection and imagination. This sense of inward attention became central to the exhibition's theme: the dreamers are people who remain in the ordinary world while simultaneously inhabiting a space of their own thoughts and desires.
An accompanying audio guide expanded the viewing experience, offering visitors an additional layer of interpretation while maintaining the contemplative rhythm of the exhibition. The exhibition was accompanied by a public programme and realized in collaboration with cultural and local partners, including InVino Wine Bar, the Union of Young Composers, and Pho, a Vietnamese café. Media support was provided by Author's Project Magazine, Silver Rain Radio, and Intellectual Club_54, extending the exhibition's presence within Novosibirsk's cultural community.
COLLEZIONE Art Gallery is the principal representative of Vladimir Kordiukov's artistic legacy in Russia. The gallery works closely with the artist's estate, presenting his paintings through exhibitions and publications while making selected works available to private and institutional collectors. It also serves as the primary point of contact for those wishing to explore Kordiukov's oeuvre and learn more about his artistic practice.
