A series of meetings focused on the artistic interpretation of the archive collection.
Archive Event is a series of meetings about the archive as a source of historical, conceptual, and visual discoveries for contemporary artists. Each of the artist-developed tours will offer a different answer to the question of why the history of the local St. Petersburg art scene and the documents relating to it are of interest to us today.
More than a storage space for archival materials necessary for research, Garage Archive Collection is a place where documents of the past are integrated into contemporary art practice, becoming instrumental in contemporary discussions.
The meetings offer an opportunity to learn about the archival materials that attract contemporary artists’ attention, discuss their interpretations or debate their approach.
