«My book, Mstera’s Ark, was published thanks to the GARAGE.txt grant program. I was very impressed by the atmosphere of cooperation that was part of the process of preparing the book for publication. I would like to think that this is the house style at Garage and that my emotions are shared by everyone who has worked with the Museum. A feeling of ease at work is worth a lot, and I am happy for those colleagues who will have the opportunity to produce joint projects as part of the GARAGE.txt program.» Mikhail Biryukov, winner of the program in 2022
