Open Workshops

DESCRIPTION

This summer, our Open Workshops will become a time capsule revealing the forgotten episodes in the history of art and offering access to the most interesting parts of Garage Archive.

Quest in Museum

How are archives created? What do they contain and whom do they preserve it for? Can one make one’s own archive and how? These are the questions we will be discussing on workshops. We will explore the museum’s building, take a peek into its hidden spaces and start our own archives.

Research in museum archive

Every archive is a magical time machine that can transport us to a different time and place. The more documents and objects it contains, the better our idea of the past. Garage Archive is a time capsule full of secrets from the history of contemporary art. Every workshop participant will become an explorer and archivist, and work on their own exhibition.

Open Workshops will be held as part of the Ingosstrakh Art Season project, which will run throughout the summer.
