Call for applications for Archive Summer 2020
Date
Garage invites international researchers who write about Russian art to take part in the grant program Archive Summer. In 2020, the program focuses on the temporal, aesthetic, and social boundaries of Russian contemporary art.
Initiated by Garage Research in 2018, Archive Summer was launched to promote Garage Archive Collection as a source of information for researchers who write about the Soviet underground and Russian contemporary art. Six participants chosen through an open call will be awarded grants to cover their travel and accommodation in Moscow and get access to Garage Archive for one month.
Applications will be accepted at archivesummer@garagemca.org from February 17 to March 17. Winners will be announced on the Garage website on April 21.
The program will run from June 1 to September 1, 2020.
The research interests of the applicant should be related to this year’s research topic: the temporal, aesthetic and social boundaries of Russian contemporary art. Applicants are invited to analyze the criteria behind the selection of artists, events, and institutions to be represented in the archive.
