Opening of the pavilion in Gorky Park

20 October 2012 Garage is opening the temporary pavilion in Gorky Park near Pionersky pond, a new venue for exhibitions, lectures, workshops, film screenings, concerts and kids activities, with cafe and book store.

The pavilion is designed by internationally acclaimed architect Shigeru Ban.

Dasha Zhukova said, “Garage’s move to Gorky Park is an exciting new stage in its development. There was never a doubt in our mind in the choice of architect for the construction of a temporary space. Shigeru Ban is known for his masterful construction of unique buildings in challenging circumstances, and we are pleased to have the opportunity to work with him in Gorky Park.”

The total area of the pavilion will be 2,400 square meters, and it will be open to the public in early autumn of 2012.
