Date

4 OCT 2017

Garage Museum of Contemporary Art is pleased to announce a new call for applications for GARAGE.txt, a program supporting researchers writing on contemporary art and culture, launched last year. Applications will be accepted until November 10, 2017.

GARAGE.txt is Russia’s first long-term museum initiative supporting academic research in art and culture. The program offers funding for new projects by Russian and international researchers writing in Russian language, as well as opportunities to publish completed manuscripts. Garage will accept applications with original studies in the history and theory of art in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, aesthetics, new media theory, the sociology of culture, critical theory, and the history of Russian contemporary art. The text should not exceed 320,000 characters.

The first recipients of GARAGE.txt grants were Andrey Kovalev with a study of fifty Russian contemporary artists; Yanina Prudenko, who studied the passages between cybernetics and humanities in the USSR; and Vita Khlopova, whose manuscript on contemporary dance will be published in the GARAGE DANCE series. Their studies are scheduled for publication in spring 2018.

Garage retains the right to edit the text before showing it to the author for a final approval.
