Academic program in partnership with HSE
Garage Museum of Contemporary Art and leading Russian university the Higher School of Economics combine the expertise of a cultural institution and theoretical knowledge with university studies and research.
The decision by the two institutions to collaborate long term led to the creation of the Joint Department with Garage Museum of Contemporary Art at HSE University, which aims to develop the research activities of the Museum, and the launch of original educational programs. As a leading research and teaching institution, HSE University offers the best opportunities for conducting research in the field of contemporary art and for training qualified staff.
Master’s program
In fall 2019, Garage launched a two-year, on-campus, practice-oriented master’s program which is unique in Russia. Graduates of the program have the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required to work in curating or art management. Their graduation project is an exhibition produced with financial support from the Garage Department at HSE.Minor
Developed by the Museum’s experts, the minor program offers participants the opportunity to explore current trends in contemporary art, contextualized within the evolution of modern intellectual thought and using the example of selected artists and projects. In addition to the basics of the history of art of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, students learn about institutional environments and the cultural industry.Scientific Activity
The Garage Joint Department aims to continue and expand the Museum’s research and educational activities and become a platform bringing together researchers writing dissertations on contemporary art and scientists working on collective projects. The selection of programs will expand and develop. We are open to new ideas.
