<h2>About the Collection</h2>
In 2018, Garage Museum of Contemporary Art began building an archive collection that brought together materials related to the history of the local scene since the 1950s and documents covering the latest developments in contemporary art. 

The collection contains materials on the key artists and events of the St. Petersburg art scene, self‑organized initiatives, short‑lived artist associations, and various subcultures. The archive contains sections devoted to particular artists, events, institutions, street art and graffiti, and club culture. The core of the collection is formed by ephemera related to exhibitions and events (posters, programs, press releases, invitations, booklets), both digital and analogue. The collection also features archival documents, photographs, original artworks and prints, as well as zines. The library collection contains 4,000 publications on the history of Russian and international art in the twentieth and twenty‑first centuries. 

The collection expands through donations from artists, curators, researchers, collectors, and institutions, as well as through acquisitions based on research activity by Garage staff. The collection contains an archive and a library, which are continuously supplemented with new materials reflecting changes in the contemporary art scene and capturing important cultural phenomena of recent decades.

«Товарищество Новые Тупые» возникло в конце 1990‑х, на базе галереи «Борей» в Санкт‑Петербурге. Группа объединила художников, писателей, философов и художественных критиков (Вадим Флягин, Игорь Панин, Владимир Козин, Александр Ляшко, Сергей Спирихин, Максим Райскин, Инга Нагель, Олег Хвостов), отказавшихся от устоявшихся художественных поведенческих моделей в пользу спонтанных, абсурдных, часто телесно‑ориентированных действий (именно действиями они называли свои первые перформансы). Их практика соотносится с городским фольклором, но отталкивается от локального опыта культурного распада и социальной неопределенности новой России. В этом контексте «тупость» рассматривается не как стилистика, а как гипертрофированный способ осмысления и взаимодействия с действительностью. «Новые Тупые» просуществовали шесть лет — с 1996‑го по 2002‑й, за время своей деятельности реализовали более семидесяти акций и перформансов. По большей части эти события не были задокументированы и по крупицам собирались для выставки «Товарищество Новые Тупые» в Московском музее современного искусства в 2016 году.

Группа «Фабрика Найденных Одежд» (ФНО) основана в Санкт‑Петербурге в 1995 году Ольгой Егоровой (Цаплей) и Натальей Першиной‑Якиманской (Глюклей). ФНО принимала участие в программе Первого киберфеминистского Интернационала на выставке documenta X (Кассель, 1997), Интернациональном фестивале Балтийских стран (Хельсинки, 2000), Baltic Babel (Мальмё, 2003), Международном фестивале короткометражного фильма в Оберхаузене (2003, 2007, 2008, 2009). В 2009 году художницы стали лауреатами национальной премии «Черный квадрат» за фильм «Три матери и хор». ФНО прекратила свою деятельность в 2014 году.
