Garage is launching a new platform in Moscow entirely dedicated to presenting the work of local, regional and diasporic Russian artists.
Garage is pleased to announce the launch of a new, experimental platform dedicated to presenting the work of local, regional and diasporic artists. Featuring seven exhibitions over the coming year from a diversity of practitioners, Garage Project Space opens in February 2014.
Providing a place where a new generation of artists and curators can test out ideas and define the urgencies of our time, Garage Project Space is a new art hub for Moscow's creative life. Recognizing how few opportunities there are to present new curatorial ideas in Russia, at the end of January Garage will announce details of an Open Call for projects.
Project #1
The Other Side
February 5-28, 2014
Dima Filippov, Ekaterina Golovatyuk, Konstantin Grouss, Alёna Ivanova-Johanson, Ivan Novikov, Alexander Petrelli, Yelena Popova, Juli Susin & Julia Rublow.
Curated by Garage curator Snejana Krasteva.
Project manager: Alexandra Romantsova
The debut exhibition at Garage Project Space acknowledges how imperative the diverse, but low-profile alternative scene in Moscow is for practitioners to produce, discuss, and display their work.
Over the course of a month, the exhibition will literally "make space" for Garage audiences to gain insight into practices that are emerging from a number of informal venues in the city. At the same time, the artists will explore the myriad ways- from the narrowest to the broadest-through which "space" can be created, inhabited, preserved or manipulated.
As such, The Other Side is a glimpse into what shapes the interests and dialogues of an emerging generation of Russian artists living in Moscow and abroad, who thrive on independent initiatives.
