Garage Museum of Contemporary Art continues the GARAGE.txt program of support for research in the field of contemporary art and culture and announces a new call for grant applications.
GARAGE.txt is Russia’s first long-term museum initiative supporting academic research in the humanities. It offers funding for new projects and opportunities to publish completed manuscripts and research projects by authors of any nationality writing in Russian. Projects should comprise original research by individual or joint authors on the history and theory of twentieth- and twenty-first-century art, aesthetics, new media theory, the sociology of culture, the critical theory of contemporaneity or the history of Russian contemporary art.
