In our tenth anniversary year, a major experiment is under way. This summer Garage presents IAM, a project which aims to answer questions about the nature of the contemporary museum; what additional competencies museum workers, curators, artists, and even visitors might need to possess; what the museum should show and keep; and what needs to happen if the museum is not to be just a place for preserving artefacts, but one that integrates the aesthetic, emotional, intellectual, and sensory experiences of the viewer.

The name of the project is an abbreviation with an infinite number of expansions that are provided by a special code. Visitors are free to select the name that best suits their experience of this summer at Garage.


Project team:

Darya Boldyreva, Ekaterina Valetova, Olga Dieva, Vika Dushkina, Ekaterina Inozemtseva, Anastasia Lesnikova
Nikita Nechaev, Elena Tazetdinova, Anastasia Chebotareva, Emmanuelle de Montgazon, Reyko Kavakado, Richard Lou
