Open Storage. A Prologue

Date

FROM AUGUST 30

Hours

11:00–22:00

Place

Garage Museum of Contemporary Art

Garage presents the first stage of the showing of its collection of contemporary art.

In 2012, Garage began building an archive collection about Russian contemporary art. As information about the artistic process during the last 70 years accumulated, the structure of the archive became more complex, and some materials proved problematic to categorize and use. Sometimes materials were both a historical document and an artwork, while others lost their artistic meaning in the archival context. Materials with dual identities include sketches, performance props, excerpts from video installations, and so on. The impetus for the creation of the contemporary art collection was the desire to reinstate these items.

Emphasizing the connection between the Museum’s archive and the emerging collection, the project Open Storage. A Prologue will comprise a large corpus of archival material and a selection of newly acquired works.
