• Art Experiment. The Playground Project: From New York to Moscow. This year’s Art Experiment at Garage is a local adaptation of The Playground Project invented by Swiss curator and urban planner Gabriela Burkhalter, exploring the unique phenomenon of the playground as a platform for architectural innovation.
• The exhibition Proof, features works by three great artists of different eras and cultures—Sergei Eisenstein, Francisco Goya and Robert Longo—each exploring some of the most urgent issues of their time.

• The installation No, She Couldn’t Have Known How It Would All… by Russian artist Boris Matrosov. An intriguing phrase that could have been overheard in a casual conversation has been turned into a neon installation on Garage roof.

• Special project Unforgettable Meetings by Leonid Sokov. One of the leaders of Sots Art selects works from the collection of the Tretyakov Gallery. Commenting on artists, works and movements he finds most interesting or important, Sokov deconstructs his own practice, trying to identify his influences and parallels in works by his peers.

The history of Russia from the revolution of 1917 until the 1980s in drawings by some of the greatest masters of the twentieth century.
